QUESTION

Cleaning Mexican Tile and Marble - I need to know how to scrub Mexican Marble. Without damaging it. There are fireman boot tracks all throughout the house and the marble is white.

ANSWER

ANSWER - Normally a neutral based detergent cleaner is the best to use with water. Change water frequently. Use a bristle scrub brush with an extended handle and then use a wet and dry vacuum to pick up the dirty water. Some more porous tiles that become stained may need more specific cleaning of those spots. The tiles should be sealed with a penetrating sealer after the tiles have been cleaned and are dry. The sealer should be buffed dry with a lint free cloth after the sealer has been applied.
