Product Information
Miracle Sealants® Epoxy Grout Film Remover is a non-acid residue remover designed to tackle cured epoxy grout film left on ceramic, porcelain, quarry tile, natural stone, and concrete. It gives installers and restoration professionals a targeted solution for stubborn surface residue that ordinary tile cleaning may not remove after grout installation.
Beyond epoxy grout residue, the formula removes haze from high-performance premixed acrylic and urethane-based grouts. It can also remove a variety of epoxies, acrylic finishes, gym finishes, shellac, varnish, and lacquer, giving professionals added flexibility for corrective cleanup and restoration projects.
The fast-acting formula softens cured residue so it can be loosened with a stiff nonmetallic brush or coarse nylon pad. Both the cleaner and dissolved film are miscible with water, supporting a more manageable rinse and cleanup process once the unwanted residue has been removed.
The low-odor formula contains no methylene chloride, providing a purpose-built option for demanding grout cleanup on approved hard surfaces. Its combination of effective film removal and water-rinsable residue makes it useful for addressing anything from isolated trouble spots to larger tiled floor areas.

Common Questions
The remover is designed for epoxy grout film and residue and for haze from high-performance premixed acrylic and urethane-based grouts. The product data sheet also lists a variety of epoxies, acrylic finishes, gym finishes, shellac, varnish, and lacquer among the coatings it can remove.
Rust-Oleum identifies ceramic tile, porcelain tile, quarry tile, natural stone, and concrete as compatible surfaces. It also states that the cleaner is safe for most tile and stone surfaces, including polished marble, but requires inconspicuous sample testing because materials and finishes can respond differently.
This product is specifically positioned for epoxy grout film and haze from high-performance premixed acrylic or urethane-based grouts. Rust-Oleum does not identify ordinary cement-based grout haze as its primary use, so customers seeking a cement grout haze remover should confirm the grout type and select the cleaner recommended for that residue.
The formula softens cured film so it can be loosened with a stiff nonmetallic brush or coarse nylon pad. For small spots, allow about 20 to 30 minutes before checking; larger floor sections generally need 15 to 30 minutes and should be checked every five minutes. Difficult residue may require repeated applications.
Epoxy Grout Film Remover is low odor, contains no methylene chloride, and creates product residue and dissolved film that are miscible with water. Once the softened material and cleaner have been removed, follow the manufacturer’s specified cleaning procedure, rinse with clean water where required, and allow the surface to dry.
The manufacturer lists approximate coverage of 50 to 150 square feet per gallon, which corresponds to about 12.5 to 37.5 square feet per quart. Actual coverage varies with surface density, porosity, texture, absorption, dwell time, application method, and the amount of residue being removed.
Use the remover primarily on the tile or stone surface and avoid grout joints whenever possible because it can soften or discolor grout. Test several inconspicuous areas before broader use, protect adjacent wood, carpet, metal, landscaping, and other surfaces, and confirm suitability for the intended material.
Use the product in a well-ventilated area with chemical-resistant gloves and follow the complete label and SDS. Keep children and pets away until the product and surface are thoroughly dry. Store the original container sealed at approximately 77°F, protect it from freezing, and dispose of used material according to local requirements.
