I have two ceramic floor tiles that have broken. I have removed all of the broken and have removed most of the old adhesive. I have used a chisel, wire brush and today I used a small wire brush attached to my cordless drill. It is coming up, but oh so slow. Is there a better way?
Thanks!

A small amount of semi-paste "Adhesive" or "Paint" remover applied with a "throw away" natural bristle brush, followed by cleaning the residue with "paint thinner" or "acetone" should help.

Wall and Flooring Indoor Tiling
white (or used to be) grout

on Dec 30, 1999

I made the mistake of using white grout with my white ceramic tile counter tops. It's been less than a year and it is already stained terribly. I did use a sealer that was highly recommended by the tile folks. Last time I listen to them? Attempts to clean thus far have been futile. Suggestions? Can the grout be painted? Other options?
