HG tile cleaner extra strong

This cleaner works extremely well. I used the HG Heavy Duty Tile & Grout Cleaner on bathroom grout with heavy buildup, and it noticeably brightened the grout after just one use. It’s very powerful, so only a small amount is needed, and it lifts dirt quickly with minimal scrubbing. The scent is strong, but that’s expected for a heavy-duty product. With proper ventilation, it’s easy to use and delivers excellent results. Great choice for deep cleaning tile and grout that need a serious refresh.

Cleaned my floor tiles great

I've been using this product for a while and it is excellent at getting my kitchen floor tiles clean. It transforms them especially when the grand children/cat have come in and out of the garden. But it's v hard work! Some tips: if your floor isn't too dreadfully filthy then use half the amount of the cleaning fluid. This saves money and helps with the rinsing process which can be long and laborious. I find going over the floor with a clean dry micro porous cloth at the end helps to mop up any remaining foam and means you don't get white streaks. When you've finished treat yourself to a nice drink and a large piece of cake!

This product was amazing and did exactly what it promises to do (again, I'm an idiot and can't upload photos) but believe me when I say it brought the scummiest bathroom grout which I thought was a browny grey back to actual black!! Even the tiles look new!! My only warning is the bottle. I decanted my first batch into a spray bottle so I could use it near, when I ran out I tried to open the child locked cap to decant more but I couldn't open it. Every time I tried to push the lid down to unscrew it, the bottle bent and after much fuss I eventually had to cut the bottle open to get the rest. This is not ideal as it's now in a bottle that isn't the original and while it's totally safe in my home it may not be safe in others. So beware! Also, it burned my skin. I wore gloves and somehow got a hole in the finger so just took them off. And although I washed my hands afterwards, thoroughly, it kept slowly burning my skin to the point of small blisters appearing and I had to get treatment at the local health centre. This is just my experience of using this product.

We have a quarry tile floor which was laid in such a manner that the grout in between the tiles is recessed and therefore is a constant trap for grime. Plus the person who installed the tiles used a wax coating on the tiles, most of which I had removed a couple of years ago: this product removed whatever remained with ease. Might I suggest that whilst this product is very good, that you should proceed with caution when using it. It is quite caustic and thankfully I heeded the advice of two excellent reviewers and used masking tape to prevent damage to our kitchen furniture. Any splashes May damage paint/waxed surfaces. Having treated the whole floor following the manufacturer’s instructions, I scrubbed the whole floor and ensured that the surface of each tile was effectively treated, it was them a simple task removing the solution and the tiles themselves were pretty clean - I rinsed the floor three time. Unfortunately the grout remained quite soiled and therefore I followed Cleghorn’s advice and prepared a quantity of solution in a spray bottle and specifically targeted the grout; which not only ensures it reduces the amount that you need, it makes it easier to apply. I also purchased some brushes which fit onto an electric drill which are far easier and more effective than using a scrubbing brush. Brilliant product.

My wife and I have used various HG cleaning products over the years and have found that each of them did a great job. Therefore, when I found out that HG did a floor tile cleaner I didn’t hesitate to buy a bottle. I purchased the 1 litre carton and, on receiving was pleased to find that it had been sensibly packaged and sealed to prevent any spillages. The product is easy to use: just dissolve half a litre of the cleaning fluid in a bucket containing 5 litre of lukewarm water. I applied the mixture to our kitchen floor using a mop, then used a long-handled scrubbing brush to work it into our ‘grainy’ tiles. I left the solution on the surface for a few minutes, then went back to work with the scrubber. Afterwards I removed the solution using a mop and a bucket of fresh water - did this a couple of times. Overall, we’re more than happy with how this product cleaned our tiles. 👍

Seems good, easy to apply, nice matt finish. Time will tell how well it has sealed the tiles.

I have limestone imitation ceramic tiles in my hall and front porch (Fired Earth). They’ve been down for over 15 years and have been cleaned regularly but seemed to have dulled over time and nothing I tried, including patch testing with bleach, scouring cream and other cleaners would shift the ground in dirty dullness. I thought I would give this a try. It took a fair bit of work (strictly as per instructions) but it has brought the tiles up almost as new. I’m absolutely delighted and highly recommend the product. I shouldn’t need to do it again for some time. Just to add I used a bath and tile extendable scrubber for the scrubbing. OXO Good Grips make one and it has an orange replaceable head. The pole is a bit short but the pad is tough enough for the job - I felt that a scrubbing brush would have flicked the cleaning liquid up the walls and skirting and the instructions say to avoid.
