We cant find a poly remover that will get it off our tile floor. Have tried several removers and after much time and scraping, most of it comes off, but not all of it. How can it be so hard to remove poly off of a tile. Anyone know of a special product/remover that will get it off easier? Thanks for any help you could give me.

Call the poly manufacturer... that way they can tell you what's best for their product...

We have a small spot of poly on our backsplash. The finisher was very poor. We did tell the company; they chose to do nothing.
A mason/tile setter we know said it will never come off. Fortunately no one else has ever seen it; it's that small. On a floor..... |

You may want to post this in the remodeling section as there are some tile setters over there.

I used a stainless steel pad, looks like curly metal hair
 NOT steel wool! and a dollar store cleaner called Totally Awesome; it's yellow and comes in a spray bottle or a large refill bottle. You could probably try another cleaner tho.Wet the spot with cleaner, then gently rubbed with the steel pad over the spot. It took a little elbow grease and time, but it worked. Just recently removed a fairly large spot of dried poly from a vintage tile floor. Thought the floor was ruined and I was sick over it! This was the only thing that worked, and did not damage the tile at all! |

If you have given up all hope, I would try a very small amount of stripeze, scrape with an old credit card, and then wipe with a paper towel. That stuff is lethal, so make sure all is vented well.
