Installed this tile & it absorbed paint/primer vapors. Can we clean i?

7 years ago
Hi, we recently installed this tile as accent in our newly built bathroom. Before applying sealant, our contractor started priming the walls of the bathroom and all these tiles seem to have absorbed the vapors and the offwhite color in the tile has become stained. Is it possible to clean them? How? Otherwise we have to break the whole bath again and reinstall it..Please advise. Also you seem to have run out of new tiles now. So can't even buy new tiles.

    Hi Art K,


    I am very sorry. I totally missed your questions. If the tiles has been stained before sealing, it is best to use penetrating to seal the tiles. Using a rotary polisher to remove the stain portion of the tile is likely the best option.


    Best regards.
