We just removed and replaced tile in kitchen, bath, laundry, and master bath. We paid a local tile company to install, but, we agreed to seal because we were told it was easy, but, time-consuming and would cost us too much for them to do it. The problem, when we sealed, the directions on the sealer stated that we could either wipe it off the tile as we went or wait until it was dry and scrub it off. We chose to wait until it was dry, but now it won't come off. We have spent hours scrubbing, and used every cleaner (soap and water, 409, bleach, oxi clean, etc.) we can think to try. It appears to be stained. It looks like water stains that needs to be wiped up, but just doesn't come off. Is there anything that will remove this?

Hi there,

depending on the type of sealer, I would try applying a small amount of the sealer to reactivate that which was left, then buffing it to dry at that time.

Hi RZ, Welcome! :)

Please share a first name with us. ;)

Ditto what Steven suggested. Can you give us the name of the sealer? :shades:
