QUESTION

Sealer turned Cloudy-Chalky - I put a tile and grout sealer on my tile and now it has a cloudy-chalky film on it. How do I get this sealer off of the tile? I used product called haze remover but did not solve the problem?

ANSWER

ANSWER - Normally when a sealer turns cloudy, particularly if it isn't a breathable sealer, it is because the tile has excessive moisture within it.  To remove the sealer you have to use a stripper that is a solvent to the chemical makeup of that type of sealer.  A haze remover is not designed to remove sealers.

You should go to the sealer manufacturer and ask them for their product for removing it.  If you don't know who the manufacturer of the sealer is then go to our website at www.CTaSC.com and go Expert Answers and under Resources go to Cleaners and Sealers where there is a listing of manufacturers with links to their websites.  Most sealer manufacturers make sealer strippers that work on most types of sealers.  You will have to experiment to see what works best for your situation.  Good Luck.
