    Default dusty residue

    Hi all new to this forum I was wondering if any one has used HG quick to clean full bodied unglazed porcalain floor tiles.The reason i ask is because i have laid some and when you clean them when they dry there is a hazy finish on them it is dusty if you rub your hand over them it comes of on your hand.

    The tiles you have are not polished porcelain and will not have a transit wax on them.

    You have as you say is a through bodied porcelain with no glaze finish and all they need is cleaning and a suitable impregnator..

    The face of the tile is the same colour as the back/sides etc.. a true full bodied porcelain..
