Title: Porcelain tile clean advice
Post by: Steve Grocott on March 01, 2022, 08:00:44 pm: Hey everyone,

Been asked to clean some (exterior) white porcelain tiles (with white grout). Not familiar with best way forward on this one, as I’ve not done porcelain before. Any advice gratefully received. I’ve got a decent fsc if that’s any use.
