Removal of Hardened Chlorine on the Tiles at a Leisure Centre

Not sure if the photos in the video do the job justice but we had a tough job on our hands cleaning the anti-slip ceramic tiles around this swimming pool at a leisure centre near Kendal in Cumbria. Including the changing rooms, the area expands approximately 1110m2 and luckily most of the tiles were just in need of a thorough cleaning but there were some areas where there was a build-up of hardened chlorine around the drains and dips in the floor allowing it to settle and calcify on the tile.

To clean the tiles we used Tile Doctor Pro-clean which is a heavy duty cleaning product specifically designed for tile cleaning. The area was large but fortunately only about 10m2 needed to be cleaned by hand for the rest we were able to use a rotary machine fitted with and a Black Buffing pad; lots of rinsing was required and we used a wet vacuum to sucked all the water as it was naturally important not to let any chemical contaminate the pool.

For hard to reach areas, it had to be done manually so we used a Fein Multimaster which is a versatile electric tool that has a special attachment that allowed us to remove the Chlorine build-up

The area took the two of us four days to complete. The client was pleased with the difference we made and left the following feedback on our website.

“They arrived on the day they said and they finished on the day they said and we were well satisfied with both their work and professionalism and would have no hesitation in recommending them to future clients”.
