Product Information

Tip the bottle directly onto your scrubbing sponge (or a small amount on the tiles if you are using the scrubbing brushes) and start working the liquid into a small patch of tiles at a time. I found it was best to concentrate on only two or three tiles at a time and work my way around. Step 2 How long does Lithofin KF Tile Restorer take to dry? The drying time will depend on the temperature and humidity of the room, as well as the level of ventilation. Generally, Lithofin KF Tile Restorer will dry within a few hours. Avoid walking on the surface until it is completely dry. After debating what to do with them, I realised that I didn’t want to cover the tiles again when we come to carpeting this room. I love that they are a little piece of history in the house and I feel like if you’re going to have a fireplace, it should have a hearth whether it’s useable or not. (I also can’t help but think of the styling opportunities! Ha!). Now I have talked about enough Victorian fireplaces over the years ( here, here and here) to understand that sometimes, restoration is best, sometimes renovation is better and a lot of times there is just no specific right answer. Scrub the area well with the tile restorer and leave to set for a few minutes. Use the sponge cloth dunked in the clean water, ring out to remove the excess water and wipe the area to remove the top layer of grime.

One or more scrubbing sponges (these were fine for a small job but if you’ve got a larger area to cover, I’d recommend heavy-duty scrubbing brushes instead) But before I told you how I did it, I want tell you first how this all came about! (If you want to skip the story, the directions are below or pin this for later!)Thankfully one of my lovely followers messaged me and told me about a product that she’d used herself to restore and clean up old Victorian tiles in her own home. I figured I’d give it a try knowing that if I couldn’t clean these up and they didn’t look good afterwards, I still had the option of covering them with a different tile. Basically I had nothing to lose trying to restore them to their former glory. When the old vinyl flooring was ripped up, I was overjoyed to see there was actually a tiled hearth hiding beneath. I was delighted because I knew these would have been the original tiles that were laid 130 years ago when the house was built. I’ve seen these particular tiles in my home in a few different locations – they are the same tiles we have on the steps outside the front door and they were also used in the hearth in our living room.

Lithofin MN Outdoor Cleaner: A cleaner that is specifically designed for use on outdoor surfaces, such as natural stone, concrete, and terracotta. The hero of this restoration is the Lithofin Tile Restorer because it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Lithofin KF Grout Cleaner: A specialized cleaner that can help you remove dirt and stains from your grout, without damaging your tiles. Then move on to the next section of tiles and the next in the same way until they are all clean. Step 5

Now I’ll just start by saying while the product works really well, it does entail a little bit of elbow grease. For this small area, I would say it probably took me around 30-40 minutes which is fine when you’re dealing with only a small group of tiles in a hearth but you will probably need to set aside a lot more time for this if, for instance, you are dealing with a hallway or large room of original Victorian tiles.
