Looking for advice

A client has some basalt tiles in her bathroom

One of our cleaners used a descaler to remove lime scale from the shower glass some of the descaler over sprayed onto the limestone tiles causing a fogging effect on the surface

Is there anyway of removing this quickly and easily, I know its a long shot but any advice would be welcome

Cheers

Is it a polished or Honed surface?

A honed surface is like a Matte like surface, not shiney or polished.

I would also say that it would also depend if the tiles have been treated with a sealer coating. You wont be able to tell if they have in some cases.

If its honed then I would just wipe them down with damp clothe in soapy water. You have to be very carefull as they can easily be marked by acidic and high PH chemicals.

I doubt you will be able to remove the marks that were left by the descaler. A professional restorer could possibly. Hard to tell without seeing.

If they are polished and a acidic cleaner has been used then this will etch the surface and made it go dull. There are two options you can try. The first is try some Aqua Mix Renue  it is a cream you use for polishing and it is really good. Second option is Diamond polishing but this is a bit more specialised and expensive.
