How to remove white stains on the tile


There was a house owner was cleaning the floor tiles with an acidic wash, but since then there was like a "cloudy" white that appeared on the tiles. Obviously this is not good to look at. What causes white on the floor? and how to clean those very annoying white patches?

There are several opinions about it. One cause is using acid washers but not neutralized properly.
The use of chemicals for ceramic floor should be careful. Probably light salt minerals and mild polymer residues are best suited when mounting.

White color in the tile
Cloud-white color often occurs on the floor especially when cleaned
 
In addition, the occurrence of white clouds on the tiles can occur on the tiles are not layered. This process is often called enlargement which is a natural phenomenon. This process is caused by the dissolved salt and rises to the surface of the concrete slab. When it dries it looks white like powdery or cloud like because of salt residue.

The slope of the tile often manifests the segment joints on new bricks. Research is also done why it can appear in almost the same conditions.
Humidity is also so influential that the migration of the salt dissolves.

Another cause is this white stain is a residue on the tile surface. This is likely due to the migration of soluble salts based on cement. These can be concrete, mortar beds or tile adhesives or grout
White powder that occurs It rises to the surface when it dries on the uncoated tiles.

The case that can happens is the presence of residual mineral deposits on the floor. When the floor is cleaned especially with acid then transported surface to form a white cloud.

Then how to solve such problems?
To overcome it is with a little water and socket with tiles for a few minutes and let it dry.
Furthermore, can be done by brushing grout with a stiff brush.
Repeat until repeatedly so that the white clouds on the tiles disappear.

Often the tile floors can be cleaned in such a simple way with hot water. Dirty water should be sucked from the floor. Furthermore, rinse water is enough to remove white and dirt on the floor with a cleanser.
  
Actually grout producers do not recommend cleaning with acid because it will attack the cement in the grout. However, the acid can be used wisely as it is effective to remove impurities and also the white color. The market is widely sold various cleaning with acid with various strengths. If the acid is too strong it can remove the color from the grout. Acid also cannot be used if using an acrylic sealant that has been smeared into the grout. 
 
Another suggestion is to brush the salt by applying a penetration sealer. This is done by keeping the tiles clean and inhibiting dirt. This product is quite effective and the white cloud will stop. 
 
The used sealer used is the lambswool applicator will be very helpful as it works by letting the steam flow to the surface but will not moisten. This allows the tiles to "breathe" so that it will reduce the problem especially in the outdoor area. 
 
You can also wash with a 50/50 mixture of water and folic acid and then let the solution over the tile for three minutes, then wipe it back with water. Before using it should be tested first with an area that is not conspicuous to see the results. 
 
Many cleaning materials are available in the market. A powerful cleaner that uses nanoparticle cleaning particles that can clears deep into tiles. In addition there is a reliable alkali family. 
For that first read the rules in wearing it if necessary to ask the seller's store so no one in the application.
