ramonekalsaw Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hello I just bought a Makita oscillating tool for the many things it can do ... that i need to do ... and one of them is cleaning built-up, hard water stains on my shower tiles. Since the oscillator is excellent for sanding i would like to use it to scrub my tiles. I've used pumice stones on the tiles in the past to good effect, and with no abrasive damage to the tile .. but it's a LOT OF WORK : ( ... but if there was a pumice-grit-sand paper ... well that would be WONDERFUL : )Does anyone know of anything like that or have any suggestions regarding my problem? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Have you tried cleaning products like bar keepers friend, lime away or CLR (calcium lime rust)I don't know of any pumice grit paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteW Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 CLR works like a charm its awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'll third the CLR suggestion,it works well and can be purchased at tons of stores. Dont think ive seen or heard of pumice grit paper,wouldnt think that would hold up very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khariV Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Look up DrillBrush. I use one of the harder / stiffer brushes with baking soda and steam and it gets just about everything out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regopit Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 Cut up some scotch brite pads and use them along with some clr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyMcGrath Posted June 13, 2015 Report Share Posted June 13, 2015 You need a water softener. I usually shy way from abrasives for cleaning certain materials as you'll either put microscopic gauges in the material or wear off the glaze. I had a customer that actually etched his shower glass with that purple foaming cleaner. Completely ruined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
