How do I clean a stain in the concrete between floor tiles?
That’s it really, I have floor tiles and something has soaked into the concrete between two of them. How can this be cleaned?
PS – thank you in advance to those wise people who will tell me this is not a laundry question – it’s the most appropriate category I could find.

The free oxygen ion is a powerful stain remover.There is a non-toxic product that does create the free oxygen ion you need to remove your stains. It is a powered product called oxygen bleach
Get the Clorox bleach pen. They work really well for between the tiles.
You could try three things: Paste of Oxi Clean, paste of Tide laundry powder, or chlorinated bleach at full strength. Whatever you decide to use, leave it on for at least ten minutes. Then scrub with a tooth brush. Rinse well and repeat if necessary.
(One word of caution. If you opt to use the Tide powder, get the smallest box you can find and do not use it on your good clothes. They have eliminated the Wear Care in it so it no longer protects colors and fabrics.)
to clean the grout between ceramic tiles use a liquid floor cleaner Mr. Clean pine sol and hot water get on your hands and knees scrub like the dickens . once they are cleaned you need to seal the grout lines so this will not happen again. you can find grout sealer at a home improvement store
Tilex is another choice.
If you want to make it look like new, go to any Home store and buy Grout Paint/Stain, about $10. You can even go darker if you like. Use a small paint brush or old toothbrush. It will go fast and easy but is tedious.
Your whole floor will look like new.
You can seal it if you like. I have tried this and recommend it highly.
