I agree that polished porcelain tiles are porous and they need to be sealed before use to avoid any further staining. My builder sent someone this morning to try and rid the tiles of the marks. He tried about three liquid cleaners, none of them worked. Then he asked for a piece of tile so he could take it with him and try other products. I tried to clean it off myself because Ive listened to all the excuses that my building supervisor tells me. One person blames the other and still I am waiting for results. If I had wiped the marks off just after the tiler finished, I wouldn't have this problem, because it's obviously too hard for him to!
