The 50-yr-old hex tile in my bathroom didn't weather our
remodeling project too well. Because this bathroom was one of the few rooms
left untouched, it was used as something like a utility closet for the
duration.
Now that the crew is gone, I can see this use didn't go over
well with my old tile.
I've been using a razor blade to scrape off what looks like
drips of stain or polyurethane (they refinished some woodwork in there, but
apparently didn't use a dropcloth). But how to get the splotches of dripped
grout off? That's not coming off with my blade. Also, the whole thing just
looks really dingy and stained. It never looked perfect, but the imperfection was
of the "gives it character" sort. Now the imperfection is of the
"wow, do you ever clean your floor?" sort.
Any ideas?
