...........wd40.......

**grumpygrouter** · 03-05-2008

WD40.........

WD-40 protects metal from rust and corrosion, penetrates stuck or jammed parts, displaces moisture, and lubricates just about anything. WD-40 is also great when it comes to cleaning grease, grime, and other marks from most surfaces.

It's a lubricant, thats why it didn't stick.......brightened my day up no end, that!

I was shown this at my training school, what you do is when you have finished grouting and washed tiles off and you have a dusty haze on the the tiles get a cotton cloth and squirt a small bit of WD40 onto the cloth and wipe the tiles it remove the dust and it stick to the cloth and polished the tiles...Not to much WD40 though...Works a treat

I hope you are joking...

....because wd40 is an oil and should not be applied to tiles or grouts , which ever way you do it by cloth or not..........This will just attract more dirt than necessary.....

A lint cloth or paper towel.....not penetrating oils..ffs..........

I'm just beginning to wonder how many other guys use WD40 for cleaning down tiles, no wonder people are having problems with CT, and not just with CT, i'm sure that the silicone adhesion will also be affected. I just can't believe what i'm hearing, and I hope people are joking.

The only thing we ever recommend using is either a dry cloth or ethanol. Ethanol is the preferred method because it evaporates of the surface and its also antibacterial so it leaves the surface totally clean.
