DO NOT USE RUBBER PADS UNDER AREA RUGS ON MEXICAN TILE:
Under adverse conditions, after strong flooring strippers have been used, it may sometimes be necessary to sand old Mexican tiles that have Mex-Seal embedded in the tile and/or black/white dots from a rubber pad embedded in the tile, an oscillating hand held sander is used and does not mark the tile with any circles.
 

Mexican Tile Renew project worst case scenario rubber pad from under an area rug stuck to the Mexican tile we can fix it. A simple sanding will take care of the problem seen above using a small oscillating sander, oscillating sanders are easy to control, you can use them to round edges, sand inside corners as well as smooth a flat or rough surface.

If stain appears near the surface of sealed clay, gently try sanding away stain. Follow this step by cleaning and re-sealing with a sealer that will color enhance, see http://www.saltillotileconnection.com/care-and-maintenance/caring-for-it/

HOW TO CLEAN MEXICAN TILE WITH SOAP & WATER NEVER USE WHITE VINEGAR


HOW TO CLEAN MEXICAN TILE WITH SOAP & WATER NEVER USE WHITE VINEGAR: Many messes and spills on Mexican tile floors can be cleaned with an all-purpose cleaner such as Dawn. Deep set-in stains may not come out with a general cleaner and you may need professional Mexican tile cleaning help. 
 
UPDATE Feb 8, 2023... ABC News FABULOSO RECALL: 4.9 million Fabuloso cleaning products recalled due to bacteria risk. A number of popular Fabuloso cleaning products were recalled Wednesday by the Colgate-Palmolive Company due to risk of bacteria contamination, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. About 4.9 million units -- as well as about 56,000 units in Canada -- of various Fabuloso Multi-Purpose Cleaner products were impacted by the recall, according to the CPSC. The affected products were produced from Dec. 14, 2022 through Jan. 23, 2023, according to the company. "We are voluntarily recalling certain Fabuloso products because a preservative was not added at the intended levels during manufacturing," Fabuloso said in a statement on its official recall website. "With inadequate preservative, there is a risk of bacteria growth in the recalled products. The recalled products can contain Pseudomonas species bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas fluorescens, which are environmental organisms found widely in soil and water."
 
Vinegar may be fine for Ceramic tile floors that has a kiln baked glazed finish, but Mexican tile has no baked on finish, it is basically raw clay with an applied finish-sealer that needs a different approach to cleaning. Ceramic tiles are fired in a kiln at temperatures around 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.

White vinegar is an aqueous solution of about 5% acetic acid which is a common constituent of most of the canning and pickling activities. As mentioned, the ingredients in white vinegar mainly comprise acetic acid. Some types of white vinegar can contain up to 20% acetic acid, but these are strictly for cleaning purposes (not on Mexican Tile floors) and not intended for human consumption.
 

Avoid using acids like bleach, white vinegar, and citrus soaps to remove stains since they can wear away at the sealer and damage the Mexican tile surface.

 
Mexican Tile Floor Care: Do Not use Vinegar to Clean Your Mexican Tile Floor it Will Ruin the Finish. Vinegar is an acid. Proper weekly maintenance is just as important as getting the right installer in order to extend the life of your Mexican Saltillo tile.

Do not ever use acid (WHITE VINEGAR) of any kind to clean your Mexican Tile and grout, acids are corrosive they will ruin any applied finish and eventually break down the clay in the Mexican tile with disastrous results.
"No Mop & Glo and no Endust, no Spic and Span." Would you put any of these things on your car? Don't use them on your Mexican tile. JUST USE SOAP AND WATER TO CLEAN YOUR TILE, SOAP LIKE DISHWASHER DETERGENT. BETTER CALL VEL AT MEXICAN TILE RENEW 941-926-7444

FLOOR PROBLEMS WE CAN HELP: Mexican Tile Restoration - Saltillo Tile Restoration Efflorescence, the white spots seen on Mexican tile, comes from the back of the tile not from the top of the tile. Efflorescence is a white crystalline deposit that is composed of salts, lime and/or other minerals. These deposits may become visible on many types of building surfaces such as concrete, stucco, grout, masonry, brick, natural stone, clay, ceramic tile, Mexican tile and even wood. These salts and minerals are water-soluble and generally come from the ground up or where contentious or alkali substances exist thin set motor used to set Mexican tile.

You need to remove the source of water that gets under the tile to correct the problem. If efflorescence exists on an installed surface then strip off the sealer and rinse with an acidic cleaner, rinse with clean water, dry out and reseal. These salts and minerals are reactive to most acidic cleaners and will usually dissolve upon contact.

Moisture migration follows the path of least resistance. Therefore, with dense surfaces such as ceramic tile, it is often found that the grout lines are more vulnerable to show efflorescence due to the higher concentrations of these deposits in those areas.

On the other hand, Saltillo tile or Mexican tile is porous enough that moisture transmission and salt or mineral deposits can be seen throughout the entire surface.
