Blue on tiles
« on: April 02, 2013, 07:14:03 pm »
When cleaning a customers carpets,they asked me to have a look at there showers,they have the house rented out for years so bit neglected.The tiles and grout covered in a blue or green deposit.Its from there own well,meant to have Sulphur in the water.Would a acid cleaner work best on this,dont think its coming out of the grout do....??

I would try Aqua Mix Phosphoric Acid Substitute diluted as recommended or LTP Mouldex if that didn't work but do a test area first
