I did a tiled backsplash in kitchen (glass and tile), and some grout remains on some of the glass. Will this help remove extra?

AJL, You must have missed my reply to the other guy or Amazon may have two listing for the same product, but my answer to the other guy is the same, While this stuff is strong enough to clean water distiller tanks (Which is very difficult to remove due to the almost baked like minerals deposits and such, sulfamic acid will not remove grout but it will remove grout haze very well, it's safe for the tiles and grout even at the highest sulfamic concentrations when mixed).

Absolutely not. It will get it moist and make it easier for you to scrub the grout out. But will not lift it out.

Yes - fine on porcelain; pour onto grout, soak for 15-30 seconds, scrub with grout brush, wipe off excess with wet towel on tile prior to it drying; after the scrubbing make sure you wipe up the gunk and solution with a wet towel/mop etc, let dry and seal grout (optional) - great stuff.

It doesn't mention on the directions that it can be used on grout and I haven't used it that way. It may be best to contact the company for this information. Sorry that I wasn't able to help.

No, sorry to say this tool will not do what your looking to do with it. This tool is wonderful for removing cermaic tile from substrates. A carbide head on a buffer would do a better job but still may not remove all the residue.

I would not add it to the grout! But there are other grouts that have the sealer already added to it! I do not know of any products other than this sealer! It is easy to apply and it works great!

It would depend upon the blade and thickness of the tile. I have used on just about everything. Glass, porclean, marble, and ceramic. I have found that I don't "force" the tile and let it do it's own thing works better.

Yes. It does remove grout, but be sure you use the mason/ceramic cutting blades. If you use the standard wood type blades they will wear out very fast and over heat in the process.

I would try to remove most of it by scraping dry glue with appropriate tool that won't scratch floor tile. Further, I'd try to focus on any in the grout lines, since it might be harder for an adhesive remover to work on this spot. I think that if you have a large area to work that it would be better to ask a flooring specialist about what particular adhesive remover product is needed. I'm thinking there must be something that would be easier work. So, no, I don't think the GOO GONE would attack flooring glues that I've worked with.

Not sure b/c my tiles are larger,but as long as you do not clamp it into any of the grout lines it should be ok. We have had on now for over a year. Hope this helps.

yes, it cleans grout great! however, it kills the bacteria and powers out gunk - it won't turn it white again. grout is porous and can stain from mold, etc. to get any stains out of it, it's best to use a bit of bleach on it after you get the gunk off. once it's clean and dry - use a grout sealer on it - and the next time it gets dirty, it won't stain the grout.

I think it depends on how deeply set the grout is. It cleaned the grout in my kitchen very nicely but in a couple of the other rooms, the tile is thicker and the machine doesn't seem to get down into the grout as well. If your grout is level to your tile, it will work very well.

I have a small ceramic tile and grout back-splash behind my kitchen faucet that kept getting splattered with soap and water from the sink. I went to Lowe's and had them cut me a piece of clear Plexiglas to fit behind the faucet. Works well and the tile is still visible.

We have installed tile on both the floor and the backsplash in the kitchen. On the floor there is a cement board that is placed there and then adhesieve stuff. These tiles will come off with some work with no damage to the board, but if the tile is installed directly onto the drywall like on a backsplash it will not come off without destroying the wall. If you are really carefully the damage might be at a minumum??

Yes absolutely Home Strip Paint and Varnish Remover works great to remove wax and grout sealant from tile! Thank you for your interest in EcoSolve products and have a great day!

Once the repair is made, it is completely hard and should not be affected by home steam cleaning. A few tilers have told me that steam is not recommended for tile and grout, as steam can expand and contract grout, causing cracks. I assume a small Shark-type steam cleaner is fine. In any event, this product is great and I have used it on several chips and kitchen counter top. It holds up and, to me, seems just as hard as the tile.

GG usually does remove old glue/decal residue, but I believe your glue may have hardened over the years. Keep rubbing with GG for 5 minutes as hard as you can. If nothing, then it probably won't work. You'll need to scrape it off with a metal scraper & maybe a razor for the last small bits remaining. Careful if you don't wanna scratch your tiles.
