Bathroom Floor SOS!

Hi, I was lucky enough to move into a new flat a few weeks ago. It had a lick of paint but the last tenant never cleaned. And I mean never. The toilet rim was a joy to clean. 😒Anyway, the bathroom floor is concrete, I cannot change it as it has a walk in shower. There is a grime trail from the door to the sink and in front of the toilet on the floor. I will attatch 2 photos, one of the grime, and a close up of the floor texrure. It's not flat, it's like little confetti pieces. I have tried so many cleaning products on this trail and nothing is working. I've tried baicarb and vinegar, bleach, washing up liquid, Miracle All-Purpose Floor Cleaner, Elbow Grease Pink All Purpose Degreaser Spray, Flash Speed Mop, anti bac wipes, industrial wipes. Nothing is shifting the stain. I thought about stone cleaners but they are expensive if they don't work. I wonder if anybody has any reconmendations, including srone cleaners, or otherwise?
I believe the photos take a while to show up so please bear with me.

I use the HG Tiles Extreme Power Clean for our slate floors, with a scrubbing brush. I had to get down on my hands and knees and scrub but it brought our tiles up like new. I leave the floor wet with the solution for a few minutes then give it a good scrub with a stiff brush. Then mop 3 times with clean water. You will probably have to re-seal the flooring again afterwards though. It’s in a white bottle, pretty sure I ordered it from Amazon.

For anything stubborn I use Pink Stuff paste. It’s cheap too so not a lot to shell out if it doesn’t do the job - but I haven’t found anything it doesn’t work on yet

Do you think it’s urine staining? If so have a look at Vivactive cleaning products or Pets at Home have cleaners that get pet urine out of hard floors which might work.

Ooh thank you both for your replies. I will try PiggieWig's suggestion first. Don't fancy resealing floors. 😂Off to Amazon I go. I will update with the results. Thanks again.

Hi Daisy, I hope not! Mind you, at lleast he brushed his teeth, or wrestled something whilst doing so, toothpaste splatters EVERYWHERE.

That's not concrete it's a nonslip flooring they use in wet rooms. It's called polysafe ash grey
