Slightly gross bathroom photo follows!
Not that!
Just the shower floor. Years and years of our well-water have left it stained.
I've applied every chemical sold at Lowe's to get the scaly rust-colored deposits off the tile and grout.
Nothing touches it.
Duane had an idea - "why don't you use the Muriatic Acid like we etch concrete with"? Excellent idea.
If you try this at home, you MUST have a respirator. Luckily, Duane has one he uses when he paints. You literally would not be able to breath without it.
After much acidic smokey bubbling - and just a minor scuffing with a bristle brush - the tile was miraculously clean!! Just like new! The acid actually softens the grout a bit and I scraped some of it away.
After it was all washed up - I re-grouted the entire shower.
And now for the "after" shot. I am just tickled! Shiny and really good-as-new!!

That is so AMAZING! You can hardly tell in the first photo that the tile is a sort of tan colour...
...wishing my bathroom problems were as easily solved...
Love,

bathroom looks great! I was just talking to Dad about how we haven't been out to see you in a while! Maybe we could work on this???
