Water Feature and Pool Tile - How to Gently Remove Water Stains

This project was a non-salt and non-chlorine pool in Kula, Maui, Hawaii. It used a natural filtration system which led to a darkened film.

Notice the darkened areas above and the progress picture during cleaning below.  We used a "blasting" procedure to safely and gently remove the staining.  The media used was ph neutral (safe for acid sensistive surfaces like stone) and biodegradable.  The client told us these were natural hand cut glass tiles.  Glass tiles are extremely sensitive to aggressive cleaning.  Methods that are too aggressive may get the job done, but potentially cause damage and can compromise the tiles.

The unique filtration system created  a unique and challenging project for us.  The end results were great and we have another happy client.
