THANK YOU SO MUCH. Just got tile paid and I was dealing with this haze. Came on my fav thing to learn things (KZread) and you were the 1st video I watched. So grateful for your help
bro big yourself up! you helped me out of a massive jam!
Great tips. Worked a treat
Good video. Trustworthy guy
Hello sir, I appreciate your video so much, i learned alot , thank you, I have a question, will this work on Porcelain tile also?
Nice demonstration
Thank you !! I just tiled and. I noticed when if I walk with a muddy shoes and try to mop won’t do anything and if I use my fingers to rub it off it rubs off ! I think I’m sure I didn’t clean. The grout properly cause I was like I leave it till I finish building a month later then I give it another mop
Wow that looks great, would maybe be easier with an auto scrubber, shop vac and mops. Is it required to do this by hand??
Will this pull up a color seal? We had to grout some areas and then we had to color seal some areas. I was afraid to do anything to the color sealed area until it had time to set. So the grout haze was still there and I want to fix it, I just dont want to pull up the color seal with any chemical I use.
Just imagine the tiler cleaned it properly when it was still drying

I got paid to clean haze off of tile thanks to a home owner who watched a KZread do it yourself video. It's not always a careless tile installer. Home Depot do it yourself folks keep me busy in repair work.

Will this option also work on thin set that got on top of the set tile? I tiled my bedroom and took a bit too long to clean thinner residue and now I have stained tiles.
does this work with tiles with rough texture?
Folks buy you a can of cheap household cleaner that's for countertops and tiles and use a cheap car buffer to olish the floor, works like a charm
Will this hurt ceramic tiles? I was told not to use any acid and to watch the PH looks like vinegar already my have left streaks on my new tiles. Tiles are WOW grace tile, mat in teal.

Hey, did you ever find out what was wrong with your floor or were you able to clean it? I have the exact same thing and im losing my mind.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I recently had a new bathroom shower put in and this haze is on my tile. Looking closer, it was actually all over the place, walls and floor. I knew it had to be something that the guy did because I had to stop him in the middle of the job and get someone else to finish because his work was not what he said it would be. I'm happy to know this will come off with a little chemical although I was looking for a more natural approach. Thanks again for sharing!

You can use a mix of dawn and vinegar and use a brush, that’s will take care of the haze pretty easy, I just did it last week on a new black floor, the only thing is that the black grout kept a whiteish shade but I did a second last just in the grout and then sealed it and everything is good now.

Should i do this after i seal the lines?
Well, does it actually remove the scratch? I don't think so. It just removes the dirt trapped in those scratches. Any way, your video helped me to atleast remove the dirt. Also, if I look at those areas directly I dont see the scratch, but it's only visible while I'm looking at it against the light. Thanks & good luck!

@@lizhorn6429 No, straight from the bottle. I put some vinegar on a Bounty and it came right off. I tried Fantastic and other cleaners, but nothing worked. The guy who did my tiles was very sloppy and cleaned the excess grout with a rag into a bucket of water. He kept using the same dirty water to clean up all the grout so I was left with my tiles having a film of grout. I cleaned it the next day with the white vinegar. I don't know about grout that may be on tiles for a long time though.
