Help! White Steak Stain On Tiles After Bleach

Featured Replies

Hi,

Bleached my bathroom tiles with the cheap NTUC brand (blue bottle) and found white steak stain on the tiles after the wash.

Looking at the flow stain, I suspect that the grout (lines between the tiles) was dissolve slight and dried up while flowing down, thus causing the white streak stain.

The walls are smooth ceramic while the floor are rough ceramic tiles.

I tried to remove them with various household cleaner but did not help.

Googled also but did not find much.

Please help advise if you have any suggestion or solution.

Thanks!

Hi,

did u try using magic sponge? It's made in Japan & is sold in some hardware shops although Daiso has its version which isn't as effective in its potency for erasing stains.

However, I'm not sure if the magic sponge would be able to remove such bleaching stains. No harm trying.

I would normally cut a very mini section of it & add water & start rubbing off stubborn stains off my kitchen floor tiles.

Hope that it'll work for u too!

good luck!

If the magic sponge doesn't helps, probably u can try putting some bleach onto the magic sponge and try to bleach a small corner of the tiles, see if the white steak stain will go off. Do small area first.
