We have a nice new pool with concrete coping and decking. Unfortunately there is a lot of concrete splatter left on the pool tiles. How can I get this off without ruining our beautiful Fujiwa tiles? Is there a product that can soften the concrete or particular tools that can be used without damage? Thanks for any help! I appreciate it. -Courtney in CA

This shouldn't be YOUR problem. Have you called the company that did the concrete work and the pool company? They should be the ones doing the cleaning up of their mess. Hopefully you haven't paid them in full yet.
I've seen products advertised in concrete magazines that supposedly "dissolve" hardened concrete from trucks, wheelbarrows and tools, but I haven't used them. I'd be afraid they'd screw up your tiles. I'm sure if you contacted a local construction supply house (not Home Depot, Lowes, etc.) they could advise you on this, and sell you the product. Good luck.

Yep, I agree with Pecos, this is a job only a pro should attempt if the tile are as nice as I picture. Call a masonry restoration or cleaning contractor with a good reputation, or best of all, make the pool contractor do it. Don't accept poor workmanship ever.
