Hi,

As per topic..anyone knows how I can clean stain marks on tiles as pic below?

Newly bought unit..after came back from raya holiday found out there's leaking in the kitchen..tried to scrub the area with soap but to no avail. Still got reddish/brown stain lines

I am curious to know too...

Replace the tile.

The stain is from what?

The contractors use tiles cleaner to clean. It is actually diluted HCl (hydrochloride acid) which can easily be bought in hardware store. I think mostly because to clean cement used in grouting and also used to remove stain from welding (dissolved iron stain).

Need to exercise extra careful when applying the cleaner...we don't want it to ruin further the tile...had experience with that...

What kind of tiles? My floor tile even applied 3 times also still okay. The only precaution is you need the place well ventilated to avoid suffocation. It will make stainless steel turns black though but it can be polished to shine easily.

Maybe can try polish.

No idea.

Water coming from behind kitchen cabinet

Same kind of tiles...maybe I left it too long on the tiles...left worse stain than before

woaa...that looked like a serious problem which needs to be addressed quickly.

Did you look at the fridge placement requirement like how much space need to be at rear, right and left. Modern fridge has heater to sidewall and also in water tank at the back to evaporate water. Did you switch off the fridge for long leave? Maybe water overflow from container at the back? Probably just water stain but hard to remove?

Fridge not even turned on yet.

I haven't moved in..enter the house yesterday already air bertakung in the middle

Wooooo ... leaking piping in kitchen. Find from where it is originate. If from behind fridge, then need to move it out to trace

Bathroom/Toilet behind the fridge wall?

Ya..suspect from piping behind fridge

Behind fridge wall is outside already..not bathroom

Anyway this topic derail already

So I can get rid of the stain using tiles cleaner?

I think better get contractor solve the other issue first and probably they can do the cleaning too. No point to try to clean if the root cause is not solved yet.

Today see stain, today clean .... still possible. Any delay ... depends on luck.

First thought use acid. If you have car wax or polish, you can try that too.
