After and during every tile installation project, spilling of grout and cement mortar is a common picture. However, if these spills are not removed immediately, they become hard to remove. Stone-look tiles are porcelain tiles that have been designed to imitate the appearance of natural stone tiles.

Although these tiles are hard and durable and do not need intensive care as natural stones do, they definitely require cleaning to maintain their shine and luxury feel. You can get the stone cleaning service online via https://thestonerestorationcompany.com.au/service/stone-cleaning/.

This article explains some of the best practices to remove grout and cement stains off your stone-look porcelain tiles. Check out the following pointers –

Rub the stains and dried spills with a wired scouring pad. Do not apply too much pressure while rubbing the stains over your stone-look porcelain tiles.

This will help avoid scratches on the tile surface. Keep removing the debris around the area you are working in using a dustpan or cloth piece.

Use a blunt knife or screwdriver to push and remove the bulk of cement and mortar on your floor. Make sure that the screwdriver or the knife is not positioned vertically. Applying pressure in this position can damage the tile. Apply pressure from the sides.

If required, use a small hammer with a screwdriver to take the hardened mortar from your stone-look tiles.

You can pour a few drops of oil over the dried cement mortar. Wait for 10 to 15 minutes, before rubbing the stain with a brush or wired scouring pad and lukewarm soapy water.

There you have it. If the tips suggested in this article don't work or feel confusing, you can always consider hiring a professional cleaning service.
