Is it possible to clean this??
My girlfriend owns a small bar and the mens room is really dirty old tile, bar was built during the end of prohibition so who knows how old this tile is maybe 70s?
do you guys think is at all cleanable, and should I use acid cleaner or 14pH cleaner?
Thanks

Re: Is it possible to clean this??
Only one way to find out................
Test Clean the hell outa it with high PH (2790) and scrub with Hot Rod, then acid clean grout if needed.
Piss stains ain;t EZ.

Re: Is it possible to clean this??
It might be cleanable, but you have 2 bigger concerns at play to consider as well.
1. How much of that urine and water has gone past that tile? You might find a huge odor generator beneath it, that you will not be able to stop. Remember that concrete below is porous and an odor source might be located at that corner, but end up venting into an entirely different location.
2. Tile that old probably has an asbestos component in the adhesive. Removal can become costly if you must hire out. Doing the job yourself is possible with certain precautions and some equipment, but still not enjoyable.
I would suggest going with Davey's advice on this one....2790 and hammer it with plenty of agitation and long dwell times.

They are remodeling the bathroom and expanding it this winter but wanted to see if we could make it better until then
Re: Is it possible to clean this??
In that case, throw the chemical blizzard at it! Nothing to lose at this point.
Re: Is it possible to clean this??
what kind of tile is it? It's hard to tell from the pics
natural stone?
