Porcelain & Ceramic Grout Haze Kit – Hand / Mop

The Grout Haze Removal Mop Kit (Basic) gives you what you need for the post-installation clean on a smaller job. Cleaner No.4 breaks down grout haze, cement and plaster residues and general builders’ dirt, and the Scrub Pad on the Aurora mop works it into the tiles and grout lines.

What’s in the kit

• TileMaster Cleaner No.4, 1 litre concentrate: a professional acid cleaner (Grout & Builders Dust Residue Remover – Acid Cleaner 4) for ceramic, porcelain and acid-resistant natural stone only. It does not tarnish aluminium or steel trims, taps, sinks or cookers.
• Scrub Pad – Tile and Grout Scrubbing: a heavy-duty, flexible scrub pad that cleans both tiles and grout lines, including uneven and textured floors. Rinse it with water after use.
• Aurora Spray Mop with 2 washable microfibre pads: a lightweight mop with an ergonomic handle and a 360-degree swivel head for corners and tight spaces. Never put Cleaner No.4 in the mop’s spray bottle: it can break the seal.

Who it suits

The Basic kit is for small jobs. Cleaner No.4 covers approx. 15 m² per litre of concentrate for grout haze removal (used at 1 part cleaner to 4 parts water), so this kit covers around 15 m². For stubborn haze, choose the Grout Haze Removal Mop Kit with Diamond Dust. For larger areas or trade use, choose the Grout Haze Removal Pro Kit.

Suitable surfaces

• Ceramic tiles
• Porcelain tiles
• Acid-resistant natural stone only
• Kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, pool surrounds and changing rooms

Not suitable for: wood, vinyl, or acid-sensitive stone such as marble, limestone and travertine. Do not use on any polished or other acid-sensitive surface. If you are unsure whether your stone is acid-resistant, test a small, inconspicuous area first or contact us before use.

How to use

1. Protect yourself: wear protective gloves and eye protection.
2. Test first: always test on a small, inconspicuous area first. If you are unsure whether your stone is acid-resistant, contact us before use.
3. Dilute Cleaner No.4: mix 1 part cleaner to 4 parts water (100ml cleaner to 400ml water) in a separate container. For grout haze, always use it diluted. The neat concentrate is only for rust marks on porcelain.
4. Apply directly to the floor: apply the diluted No.4 directly to the floor and leave it to work for 5 minutes, keeping it wet so it does not dry on the floor. Do not put No.4 in the mop’s spray bottle: it can break the seal.
5. Scrub: scrub the tiles and grout lines with the Scrub Pad on the mop, or with a TileMaster machine fitted with the tile and grout brush (machine not included).
6. Remove: take up the dirty solution with a clean mop, sponge or cloth, or extract the residue with a wet vacuum.
7. Rinse: rinse well with clean water.

Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
