Removing Scratches from Cement Tiles With Titan Tile US
Locate Scratches: Carefully identify all scratches. They’re more visible on darker colors.
Gather Supplies: Obtain an electric sandpaper buffer (for best results) and 220-grit sandpaper.
Use 220-Grit Sandpaper: This grit gently removes scratches without damaging the tile.
Wet the Tile: Wet the tile before sanding to prevent dust and act as a lubricant.
Gently Buff: Gently buff the tile until the scratch disappears. Take breaks to monitor progress.
Add Water as Needed: Add water to wash away debris and prevent sandpaper clogging.
Rinse and Wipe: Rinse and wipe the tile clean after buffing.
Observe Results: The scratch should be gone.
Allow to Dry: Let the tiles dry completely (24-48 hours) before resealing.
Reseal: Reseal the tiles with a suitable sealer (Titan Tile US recommends a high-quality sealer) to protect against future scratches and spills.
