have laid black floor tiles in my bathroom, all good for 2 months, now they're so stained im actually considering changing them to something else :mad: the hard water has stained them loads, where it runs through the grout channels and around the edges of the tiles, what can i use to clean this off? (Im assumimg its limescale?)
and once its cleaned, is there anytihng i can use to treat the tiles to prevent them staining again?
Thanks in advance people

Hagesan Blue or Scale Away from HG if glazed ceramic. If its sealed natural stone then you first need HG Stripper and reseal the tiles afterwards with HG Shine Finish.
Lithofin do similar products.

Thanks everyone, are any of the products likely to stain/alter the colour of the tiles? They're only cheap Wickes ones in black (sorry cant remember what type)
Thanks again0 -
glazed or unglazed?
