    I use a rotary scrubber with a white scrub pad & Aqua Mix Nano scrub...then scrub the floor and use a wet vac to clean up. Thats ok if you have the machines to do it..How big is the floor? Could use LTP Grimex as per instructions...Tile Giant sells it.

    I'll try that, did that cleaner also come from b&q, I've heard of people using sugar soap on this?

    Sugar soap.. nah will not work.. needs to be a sealer remover.. B&Q do the QEP one that they recommend.. choice is yours.
