[QUOTE="lovevictorianstuff, post: 976575, member: 56612"] Hi Dan I emailed them as suggested, they recommended approaching Lithofin directly. They recommended :- Lithofin KF Tile Restorer. I also had a response from Tile Doctor:- “Not easy to remove as the carpet underlay emits a gas which mixes with the colour of the underlay and this leaves a mark after many many years, the only way we can remove it is by opening up the pores of the clay using a 50 grit diamond block then we apply some Acid Gel, leave it to soak for 40 minutes,and then we scrub and rinse with water, a wet vac would be very useful at this stage to remove the excess liquid, rinse and vac again and then close the pores of the tiles with a 100 grit diamond block, followed by a 200 red and a yellow 400, rinse and scrub and vac again, leave to dry and then once fully dry apply 2 coats of Tile Doctor Colour Grow sealer.” I also contacted Original Style, they said:- “It is quite difficult to identify what the residue might be from the photograph but if the tile feels smooth, we would recommend using LTP Power Stripper. This may however be a tough job and there are specialist Victorian Floor Tile renovation firms which may be able to assist.” Think I will try the Lithofin KF tile restorer in a corner to see how that goes. Thanks again April [/QUOTE]
