Once tiles have been fitted all residues must be removed from the surface of the tile, it is important to use the correct cleaner for this.

Initial Clean (Within 30 minutes of grouting)
For removal of cementitious residues within 10-30 minutes of grouting use Fila Instant Grout Remover

Directions for use: After grouting, wait approximately 10-30 minutes (see manufacturer's instructions) until grout has thickened and become opaque. Carry out an initial clean of the tile surface with a damp sponge. Spray Fila Instant Grout Remover evenly over the surface and leave for 2 minutes. Clean using a damp sponge.
For stubborn stains, leave for 1 hour and repeat the above steps

Initial Clean (After 30 minutes of grouting)
For removal of cementitious residues after 30 minutes of grouting use Fila Porcelain Cement Residue Remover

Directions for use: Dilute 1:5 with clean water and spread the solution over the tiles with a cloth. Leave to act for 5 minutes. Use a green emulsifying pad and work the solution over the surface. Clean up the residue and rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water.
A second application maybe necessary to remove any existing residue.

This product should not be used neat as the dilution with water activates the ingredients of the cleaner.

For removal of epoxy residues use Fila Multi Surface Stain Remover
