We attempted to clean 4 bathrooms which had been cleaned several times in the past by the homeowner and she could not get good results. We used the oxygen system, followed by a spinner rinse, then followed up with Zep products that seemed to clean it. The following day the customer called and said there was a film on the tile edges. This can be duplicated by applying acid rust remover to similar tiles, but I cannot duplicate the problem with any Zep products, or any other chemicals in my shop. Only strong acid will etch this tile, and the problem is in the traffic areas, and only on some tiles. I am trying different topical sealers to mask this area. The etched sections are attraction foot traffic soil, while the unaffected tiles are O.K. Any comment and suggestion are appreciated. I do not want to have to replace four bathrooms of tile.
