About This Product
Aqua Mix Grout Haze Remover for Cured Cement Residue
Aqua Mix Cement Grout Haze Remover is an acidic treatment designed to dissolve cured cementitious grout haze and mortar smears after tile installation. It gives contractors and property owners a targeted solution for residue that routine tile cleaners may not remove.
Removes Mineral Deposits and Surface Stains
In addition to cement residue, the formula removes most hard water stains, rust stains, efflorescence and lime deposits. This versatility makes it useful for correcting several common mineral-based surface problems with one phosphate-free treatment.
Designed for Acid-Resistant Tile and Stone
This Cement Grout Haze Remover is suitable for acid-resistant natural stone such as granite and slate, along with ceramic, porcelain, quarry tile, Saltillo and terra-cotta. Because acidic products can alter sensitive materials, surface compatibility must be confirmed before treatment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Aqua Mix Cement Grout Haze Remover remove?
It removes cured cementitious grout haze and mortar smears from compatible acid-resistant surfaces. The acidic formula is also effective against most hard water stains, rust stains, efflorescence and lime deposits, making it useful for several mineral-based cleaning problems.
Which surfaces are compatible with this haze remover?
The product is intended for acid-resistant natural stone such as granite and slate, along with ceramic, porcelain, quarry tile, Saltillo, terra-cotta and other acid-resistant tile. Always test a small, inconspicuous area before treating the complete surface.
Which surfaces should not be treated with this product?
Do not use it on acid-sensitive materials such as marble, limestone, travertine or certain basalts. Acids may also etch, lighten or change cementitious materials and metallic glazes. Keep the cleaner away from any surface not specifically confirmed as acid resistant.
How should Aqua Mix Cement Grout Haze Remover be applied?
Pre-wet the surface before applying the cleaner. For light haze, mix one part cleaner with three parts water. Full-strength product may be used for heavier residue. Work in small sections with a white nylon brush, then rinse thoroughly with clean water.
How long should new grout cure before cleaning?
New cement grout and concrete installations should cure for at least 10 days before this acidic treatment is used. Applying acid too early may affect the cementitious material, so the grout manufacturer's curing requirements should also be reviewed before cleaning.
Will it remove epoxy, urethane or premixed grout haze?
This product is formulated for cementitious grout haze and should not be treated as a universal remover for epoxy, urethane, premixed or single-component grout residue. Those materials require a compatible non-cement grout haze remover selected for the specific grout chemistry.
How much area will the product cover?
One quart covers approximately 100 to 300 square feet, depending on dilution, surface texture and the amount of residue. One gallon covers approximately 400 to 1,200 square feet under comparable conditions. Heavy contamination may reduce the practical coverage.
What safety precautions should be followed?
Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection, provide adequate ventilation and avoid skin contact or breathing the cleaner. Do not mix it with other cleaning products. Read the complete product label and safety information before use, and keep the container away from children.
