HGTile Cleaner Extra Strong, Heavy Duty Floor Cleaner for Tiles & Grout, Industrial Strength, Safe for Natural Stone, Kitchen & Bathroom Use, Fresh Scent – 1L

I have a Mexican hand made 'Saltillo' Terracotta Tile floor in my old cottage kitchen. It's been down for about 20 years and to be honest, I have neglected it a lot over this time. As we've just revamped the kitchen I decided it was time to give the floor some much needed TLC. It was dirty, grimy, and had the occasional cat paw print in paint in a couple of places. This was a job I wasn't looking forward to at all. 😒I diluted the cleaner into a handheld spray bottle and diluted it as indicated on the instructions. I decided to do the floor in 2 sq mtr sections for ease of arm stretching. I first sprayed the cleaner onto the tiles, and left to soak for around 15 minutes. I then went over each 300mm x 3000mm tile with a scouring pad attached to a cordless drill ( I bought these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07QV4DZ7J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and have found them very useful ) After the first scrub with the drill based scouring pad, I then sprayed the surface with more cleaner as I found it was drying out slightly, and then left it approx 15 minutes further. I went over the are again with the scouring pad on the drill. The cleaner foamed up slightly with the foam being a dirty brown colour. I then washed off the cleaner a couple of times using a large sponge and clean cold water, and once the area was clean, I then dried it off with a large microfibre towel and left the are to dry completely.The tiles came up absolutely spotless, and I suspect the cleaner had also removed previous layers of polish and sealer in addition to the years of dirt. There was no harsh chemical smell that I could discern. I did wear latex gloves initially, but these weren't up to the job from the amount of effort I was putting in to scrubbing these tiles and got taken off. I did get the cleaner on my hands, and didn't notice any side effects apart from having the feeling of very clean skin when I finished.The tiles came up looking almost new; that could be the cleaner or the amount of effort I put into getting them clean - I suspect a combination of both.Would I buy this product again to clean Saltillo terracotta clay tiled floors? Yes, absolutely, and without any hesitation at all.

Seems good, easy to apply, nice matt finish. Time will tell how well it has sealed the tiles.

Cleaned my kitchen stone floor. It has made an incredible difference to the finish, bring back the depth of the stone. Finished with HG14 to give the floor a new look.

This product was amazing and did exactly what it promises to do (again, I'm an idiot and can't upload photos) but believe me when I say it brought the scummiest bathroom grout which I thought was a browny grey back to actual black!! Even the tiles look new!! My only warning is the bottle. I decanted my first batch into a spray bottle so I could use it near, when I ran out I tried to open the child locked cap to decant more but I couldn't open it. Every time I tried to push the lid down to unscrew it, the bottle bent and after much fuss I eventually had to cut the bottle open to get the rest. This is not ideal as it's now in a bottle that isn't the original and while it's totally safe in my home it may not be safe in others. So beware! Also, it burned my skin. I wore gloves and somehow got a hole in the finger so just took them off. And although I washed my hands afterwards, thoroughly, it kept slowly burning my skin to the point of small blisters appearing and I had to get treatment at the local health centre. This is just my experience of using this product.

My kitchen and hallway floor I have ceramic tiles that have a textured surface which get very grubby and hard to clean. I used this product with a long handled floor scrubbing brush and the result was amazing. They actually looked as good as they did when new. I made sure the dogs were kept away from the area until completely dry. This cleaner will be used in between normal washes to keep the tiles looking good. I recommend this for hard to clean floors it's brilliant 👏

A bit of a faff, but it does a really great job on tiles that get so much traffic that mopping doesn't get them clean.

Did a good job. I confess to making it stronger than the instructions recommend and using a rotary brush fitted to an electric drill. Overall it took me circa 3 hrs to achieve the results in the photos. Very pleased. A question for whoever may be reading …… I still have some ingrained dirt in a few tiles (that have been subject to scratches and wear). I can’t seem to remove this. Any ideas please?

This product is absolutely brilliant! I have struggled for a long time to try to get out porous tiles in the hall cleaned and nothing has ever really worked until I bought this product ! Does exactly what it says it will do !
