Tile & Grout Restore
Acidic cleaner for removing embedded soils, limescale & grout smear.
Tile & Grout Restore is a powerful restoration cleaner formulated for deep cleaning stained and neglected grout lines and tiles. Its advanced low pH technology delivers outstanding results without relying on harsh acids like hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, phosphoric, or sulphamic acids.
Designed to tackle stubborn issues such as mineral scale, efflorescence, cement smear, soap scum, and embedded grime, Tile & Grout Restore offers a safer yet highly effective alternative to traditional acid cleaners. Its low toxicity and low OHS rating make it ideal for use in sensitive environments like washrooms, showers, pool surrounds, and during builders cleans. Perfect for restoration work and preparing grout for sealing, it restores the original appearance of tiles and grout while protecting surfaces and surrounding materials.

Benefits
- Restoration Power: Tile & Grout Restore is highly effective at removing years of build-up, including efflorescence, mineral scale, and alkaline detergent residues. Its specialty penetrating agents ensure efficient and rapid cleaning.
- Grout Specialist: It is specifically designed to tackle stubborn grout stains, embedded soils, and cement or grout smear. It is ideal for preparing grout before sealing.
- A Total Solution: Provides strong cleaning performance while being safe to use. It is non-corrosive to non-ferrous metals (such as aluminum) when used as directed and is low in toxicity and OHS ratings.
- Surface Suitability: Safe for all man-made tiles, and can be used with caution on sandstone, quarry tiles, terracotta, and slate. It is suitable for granites and bluestones with flamed or sawn finishes but should not be used on acid-sensitive or polished surfaces, including marble, limestone, and polished granite. Pre-testing on non-ferrous metals is recommended.
Application areas and surface suitability
Tile & Grout Restore is safe on all man-made tiles. Use with care on sandstone, quarry tiles, terracotta and slate. Tile & Grout Restore can be used on granites and bluestones that have a flamed or sawn finish but should not be used on acid sensitive surfaces and polished surfaces including marble, limestone, polished granite and other natural stone. Although unlikely to mark non-ferrous metals (e.g. Aluminium), always pre-test before use.
Ideal for cleaning very dirty tiles. Especially good in restoration applications and washrooms, showers, pool surrounds, grout smear removal and builders cleans.
