We have a customer who had paste wax applied to their Saltillo (Saltillo Tile made in Saltillo Mexico) tile floor. The floor is also heated. They then put down a rubber net anti slip padding and an area rug on top. Within 24 hours the net matting stuck to the floor. When you lift the matting up it leaves parts uf the matting stuck to the floor. Scrape away the rubber matting that stuck and what is left is lots of little oil "looking" marks where the rubber stuck.
Any suggestions?
When we work on wood floors that have paste wax on them we remove it with an alchol base cleaner.
I am thinking using the same cleaner to remove the past wax. This should hopefully get most of it but I am sure not all. Then we are left to deal with the spots.
Other notes. I looked at a couple of tiles they had left over. They told me that there was some type of sealer/impregnator put on them in Mexico. Some tiles look as if what ever was applied soaked into the tiles and other tiles look like it has a glaze on them.
Any help woud be great.
I am also thinking maybe a poltice may work. If so what should the ingredients be?
