Hi Guys

I had some work done at home and the plasterer left Plaster all over my red quarry tile floor :'( How do I clean it off and with what? its now been 18 months and the wife is nagging me about it, as its quiet now I suppose I'd better get on with it.

Regards

Any good tile cleaner from your local Topps tiles, or Tile giant will do. The only thing is sometimes the gypsum in the plaster will stain and you wont get this off.

[/quote ]the way i would do it is with a chemical called pro clean you can buy this on the tile doctor website  follow the instructions and that will do the job

Lots of little ones, they do seem to be fading, but slowly.
