Waiting patiently looking at quarry tiles.

Vinegartits,

Oh god aren't they awful! right, all you need to do is go the iron mongers, get the zero zero zero cloth and you can rub to get it off.

When you finish, press the steam button and put it away dry! it baffles me how people don't do this!

VinegarTits · 22/09/2009 12:52

Flymetodamoon,

ok so quarry tiles. It's dead easy - they were the first tiles to go in houses.! look, just scrub them. Hot sopay water and a scrubbing brush and buff them...

If it is the groating use some bleach - it really won't harm at all!

FlyMeToDunoon · 22/09/2009 12:59

perhaps you have some tips GentleOtter

futurity · 22/09/2009 12:59

reposting blu tak question as am desperate!: How on earth do I get Blu Tak off an interior brick wall? (I mistakenly put posters up in the conservatory a few years ago for my son and didn't use my brain not thinking that Blu Tak and brick walls don't mix!). I've tried EVERYTHING and am now down to picking it off with a pin. Blu Tak website was no good..just said "we don't recommend using Blu Tak on a brick wall!"

twirlymum · 22/09/2009 13:00

Thank you Kim,

I will try it this afternoon.

FlyMeToDunoon · 22/09/2009 13:00

Oh sounds very simple!
Thank you.
Buff.... with what? Polish?

KimWoodburn · 22/09/2009 13:01

Hi HarrietToo,

oooh it really is so so easy. Take a scouring pad (nylon), throw some washing up liquid on it, go like the scrubbers and you will be fine!!

For the more stubborn stains white toothpaste will do the job!

You can also use vinegar (i really do swear by this stuff)

LedodgyDailyMailstinksofpoo · 22/09/2009 13:01

A soft dry cloth I think Flyme, polish on stone floor may be a bit dangerous!

KimWoodburn · 22/09/2009 13:02

Loveys,

Thanks for the questions!
