I have just had a tiler lay my granite bathroom tiles. The local tile merchant sold me everything I could possibly need at great cost. The instructions from them were as follows.
I purchased the following.
Fila Stone cleaner (for routine cleaning according to the tile merchant)
Fila residue remover (for cleaning after laying and prior to sealing according to the tile merchant)
Fila Granite impregnator sealer (for using after residue remover prior to and after grouting according to the tile merchant)
The instructions on the Fila Sealer bottle actually say which I did question at the tile merchant.
Fit tiles.
Clean with Fila stone cleaner.
Apply Fila Sealer.
Grout.
There was no adhesive on the face of the tile when the tiler had layed them. But I used the Fila residue remover anyway (as per the tile merchants recommendation. Diluted 1:30 as per Fila instructions (what can this possibly accomplish). Then the sealer. Then the grout. Then the sealer.
Will my tiles be ok?
The reason I am asking after the event is I have the same Tiles to be layed in my kitchen at the weekend.
I think I probably did not need the Residue remover as the grout film rubbed off fairly easily with a cotton cloth and they did sell me enough Residue remover to clean 50m2. I only purchased 10m2 of tiles.
Thanks in advance gcol (Tiling God)
