Post by: Cliff Horne on December 08, 2010, 07:00:09 am

Hi Guys

I had some work done at home and the plasterer left Plaster all over my red quarry tile floor :'( How do I clean it off and with what? its now been 18 months and the wife is nagging me about it, as its quiet now I suppose I'd better get on with it.

Regards

Any good tile cleaner from your local Topps tiles, or Tile giant will do. The only thing is sometimes the gypsum in the plaster will stain and you wont get this off.

 just try to use a scraper but go gently,as it will leave marks on the tiles. just a suggestion!

Is it just one stain or lots of little ones?

Lots of little ones, they do seem to be fading, but slowly.
