Why Flowpoint leaves haze
(and how to avoid it next time)
Flowable cement grout cures quickly; fine cement fines dry on the tile face as a thin film. Manufacturers stress pre-soaking/keeping tiles wet during jointing and prompt washing so residue doesn’t bond to the surface. If it dries hard, you’ll need targeted cleaning.
Step-by-step: Porcelain & Ceramic (Flowpoint haze)
Use: HR Efflorescence & Cement Remover (cement haze remover)
- Patch test: In a discreet corner, per label.
- Pre-wet: Lightly dampen the surface (don’t flood joints).
- Apply remover: Spread evenly over the haze; allow short dwell per label.
- Agitate: White pad/soft brush—no abrasives.
- Rinse well: Flush with clean water; repeat if needed.
- Neutral clean: Finish with a light pass of HR Future Clean to neutralise residues and leave a streak-free finish.
General guidance from tile/grout specialists: warm water for very light haze; purpose-made cement haze removers for bonded films. stonesuperstore.co.uk & tilewarehouse.co.uk
Tip: If you suspect epoxy grout (not Flowpoint), use an HR Stripping Gel remover instead—cement removers won’t touch epoxy.
Step-by-step: Natural Stone (limestone, marble, travertine, sandstone)
Avoid acidic cleaners—they etch/calcium-based stone.
Use: HR Future Clean (alkaline) + mechanical method.
- Dry removal first: Plastic scraper/white pad to lift dry films.
- Alkaline clean: Apply HR Future Clean per label; gentle agitation.
- Rinse thoroughly.
Stubborn? Consider poultice/mechanical honing—don’t jump to acids on calcium-based stones (etching risk noted widely by stone suppliers). stonesuperstore.co.uk
Troubleshooting & special cases
Heavy, long-cured cement film on porcelain: Multiple short, wet passes with cement haze remover + agitation; avoid letting chemical dry. stonesuperstore.co.uk tilewarehouse.co.uk
Installer left slurry stains: More dwell/agitation cycles; wet-vac rinse between passes helps lift fines. thepavingexperts.co.uk
Prevention (for next job): Keep paving pre-soaked/continuously wet while grouting and wash down thoroughly before any residue dries. Instarmac
FAQs
What is grout haze?
A thin, cloudy film of cement fines/resins left after grouting. Flowpoint can leave a fast-drying film if wash-down is delayed.
How do I remove grout haze from porcelain tiles?
Use HR Haze Remover, short dwell, gentle agitation, complete rinse; repeat if needed. stonesuperstore.co.uk
Best grout haze remover for porcelain tiles (UK)?
A purpose-made cement haze remover; avoid acids on natural stone. Your HR Haze Remover is formulated for this exact task.
How to remove dried grout from porcelain slabs?
Multiple light applications + agitation; don’t allow solution to dry; rinse between passes. stonesuperstore.co.uk
Can I use acid on limestone/marble/travertine?
No. Use HR Future Clean (alkaline) or call us—acids will etch calcium-based stone.
Flowpoint Smooth vs Premium—does it change cleaning?
Both are cementitious; the pre-soak/keep wet and thorough clean-down rules still apply to prevent haze. Instarmac
How soon after grouting can I clean?

Application Tips for HR Haze Remover
- Test First: Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure compatibility with your tile.
- Apply Directly: Use a sponge or brush to apply HR Haze Remover directly onto the haze.
- Allow It to Work: Let the product sit for the recommended time on the label, usually a few minutes.
- Agitate Gently: With a soft brush or scrub pad, gently work the remover into the haze.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After the haze has loosened, rinse the area well with clean water to remove any residue of the grout haze remover.
Will the solution still work 5-7 days after the grout as been done
Hi, thanks for your question — great to see you’re doing your research before diving in!
Yes, our HR Haze Remover will still work 5–7 days after the grout has been applied. In fact, that’s often the ideal window — the grout will have had time to firm up and cure slightly, but any haze or residue will still be accessible on the surface.
A few tips to get the best results:
Use the product at the recommended dilution rate (usually 5:1 for normal use or 15:1 for sensitive stone, stronger for denser surfaces).
Work in small sections and keep the surface wet — don’t let the product dry out while it’s active.
Allow around 5–10 minutes dwell time, agitating occasionally with a soft brush or pad.
Rinse thoroughly, and repeat if needed for heavier residues.
And if you’re unsure about how your surface will react, always test a small inconspicuous area first — or feel free to get in touch for personalised advice. We’re always happy to help.
Thanks again for stopping by and trusting us with your project!
