clean tiles from adhesive

[Nix]

Hello

I need some help.
We have laid tiles in the basement, a matte graphite gray granite ceramic.
There is some adhesive left on the tiles, and I can't get it off.

So far I've tried Ajax, Jif, and steel wool.

But I can't get it clean.

Is there any tile cleaning liquid that removes adhesive residues?
There should be...

Does anyone know?

I used regular water and a sponge... After a lot of scrubbing, they disappeared...

Yes, there is, it's usually called tile cleaner or something similar.

Look here, for example:

At Silvan, there's a similar product from Alfix, it works the same way.

I've heard that vinegar works just as well as the tile cleaner, but costs a fraction. You get the lovely smell for free!

Yes, there is mention of clinker cleaner, and before we used hydrochloric acid diluted with water. But be careful, read the instructions carefully. It's important to work quickly and rinse off the cleaner thoroughly when you're done, with water... multiple times, as these cleaning agents are aggressive against the fix/grout=lime.
