What to do about cement residue on new tiles?
How to remove cement residue from new tiles without losing their shine?
After laying new tiles, a thin, gray haze often remains on the surface. This haze, known as cement residue, is caused by leftover grout that remains after grouting. Cement residue can significantly diminish the appearance of your new tiles, making them look dull and dirty, even if they are brand new. Many people try to remove the residue with water and a cloth, but this is often ineffective and can even spread the residue further. Aggressive cleaning agents can damage the surface of the tiles, causing them to lose their shine. Therefore, it is important to use a special cleaning agent that effectively removes cement residue without damaging the tiles.
