    Default How do I get rid of excess HG sealant?

    My husband sealed our porcelain tiles with HG porcelain tile sealer, but didn't buff off the excess as per directions. They now have this layer on them, which dirt sticks to like glue! It's hideous trying to clean them. Any ideas what will get it off?!

    Thanks

    lithofin wexa. follow instructions on bottle. ltp are the forum sponsers and there is a link on the left they also do cleaning products to get rid of this build up, but never used them before. some other fellers on here may be able to advise the correct product to use to clean.
    i would advise getting in a pro to seal seal the tiles corrctly, it wont cost the earth and will be done correctly. what area are you in?

    Have you looked on the HG website?

    HG > Home

    There will be technical sheets for each product, and they will also have various cleaners/strippers available. You can also contact them via the site for help.
    As youve used HG I would try HG first.
