How to remove pot stains on outdoor tiles?

[CathyB]

My outdoor tiles have been stained from where pot plants sat.  They have been scrubbed but only makes it worse.  Any suggestions please?  Or should a put a sealer over a the tiles.  Total area approx  20,sm.  Most stained tiles are around the edge but I am happy to do the whole area.  I did spot test with a spray on sealer for terracotta pots which was a vast improvement.

Hi @CathyB,

Thank you for your question about removing stains on your outdoor tiles and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

I'd suggest giving the rings where your pots were a good scrub with CLR Calcium Lime Rust Remover and a Sabco Bamboo All Purpose Heavy Duty Scrub Brush. 

Once clean, I would advise applying Davco Sanitized Tile And Grout Sealer to the tiles to offer an additional protective coating. This will help create a waterproof seal, preventing stains from embedding into the tiles.

You might like to have a read of How do you clean outdoor tiles? for some further guidance.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
