The problem is the worst in the kitchen where a lot of wooden cabinets are. But somehow the whole house smells like dog urine. Even though upon moving in the landlord painted the walls and cleaned the ceramic tile flooring. There is also sand outside the house where the dogs were kept, which is right under the bedroom windows.

Since the carpet was installed using a carpet tacking approach, I now have holes and chips where the carpet tacking used to be. There was no easy way to remove the carpet tacking without damaging the terrazzo floor where it was installed. Is there a SIMPLE approach (or any other approach other then hiring a flooring company) to fill the holes left behind by the carpet tacking that will be at least a close match to the terrazzo design? ]]> Tile Flooring Forum timh1111 http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/tile-flooring-forum/280379-how-do-i-patch-terrazzo-floor.html http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/tile-flooring-forum/280368-what-can-i-use-remove-ink-tile-floor-most-effective.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 00:30:34 GMT I left a pen in my laundry, and when I got it back to my dorm, it literally started oozing out uncontrollably.

My bathroom in India, (apt) has the 4 inch white ceramic tile on the walls and the 8 inch white tile on the floor. Is there a way to replace these Tiles without the hassle of actually removing them with a hammer and chisel.
The floor tiles seem to get dirty fast and at times changes color from white to pale yellow. The bldg maintenance says to mix acid with water and pour on the floor tiles, it comes out sparkling white but it seems to take out some of the grouting.

I would just like to change the color of the floor and wall tiles to something else. Is it possible.

Or is there something to color over the white wall tiles to make it look good to match the new flooring tiles.

The floor tiles if hammer and chisel has to be used as the only way, i dont mind. But the wall tiles are many and goes upto 3/4 of the walls.
Some kind of a tile design to put on these tiles to match the floor tiles.
Appreciate any suggestions please.
Thank you for your reply.
Does the bathroom enamel wash off if water goes on it or when it is wiped.

Can anyone tell that it is enamel instead of tile, or does it blend in. ]]> Tile Flooring Forum villagetree41 http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/tile-flooring-forum/280325-india-replacing-ceramic-bathroom-tile-over-tile.html http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/tile-flooring-forum/280313-how-do-i-clean-inbetween-my-tile-floors.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:20:31 GMT It is somewhat porous I have used bleach and it doesn't work please help! ]]> Tile Flooring Forum Teets http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/tile-flooring-forum/280313-how-do-i-clean-inbetween-my-tile-floors.html http://www.homegardenguides.com/garden-forum/tile-flooring-forum/280304-plasplus-ceramic-wet-tile-cutter.html Fri, 13 Nov 2009 09:41:39 GMT I have a Plasplus Brand ceramic tile cutter wet saw. it is the small black one that sold for under $99.
