Rust stained tiles

I have some outdoor tiles on a roof terrace, guys were fitting a metal framework and it rained overnight, result is some rust staining on tiles. Any idea how to clean these up? I have tried a `power jet hose` and light use of a scraper to no avail.

You can get tile cleaners from places like Wickes and most tile shops. It is a slightly acidic liquid, that you pour on and then scrub the tiles. It should clean them up after 1 or 2 treatments.

Once it is clean then use a tile sealer (you get matt and gloss sealers), again it is a liquid that you pour on and spread over the tiles, allow to soak for a bit then clean off the excess.

Read the label on all these things, some are used differently. You also get different types to suit different types of tiles, so make sure you get the correct one!

Not sure if this works on tiles but....

We used to rub our push bikes with a ball of aluminium kitchen foil to remove rust.
