Method A
Product Recommendation: Poultice Stain Remover
Equipment: Bowl, household plastic wrap, plastic putty knife and sponge
Coverage: Varies; test first to determine amount of product needed depending on number of stains present
Procedure:
1. Remove loose debris.
2. Mix several tablespoons of Poultice Stain Remover powder with water in a bowl to form a thick, pliable paste.
3. Apply a 1/4″ (6 mm) thick layer of paste directly over stain with at least a 1″ (25 mm) overlap beyond edge of stain.
4. Cover with household plastic wrap, taping around perimeter to seal over Poultice Stain Remover mix. Leave a small section untaped or punch holes in plastic wrap to allow for slow curing.
5. Allow paste to stand on stain for 24 to 48 hours.
6. Remove Poultice Stain Remover without scratching surface with a plastic putty knife and wash off residue with clean water and sponge. If poultice paste has not dried, allow to dry uncovered before removal.

shown to produce successful results.
This recommendation is intended as a general guideline for the removal of deep-set stains from porous tile, natural stone and masonry. The actual removal requirements may vary depending on type of tile, method of application and amount of stains to be removed.
