How Do You Clean Sheetrock Mud On Ceramic Floor Tile?
Anytime joint compound–often referred to as Sheetrock mud or spackle–is applied to a wall, there is a good chance that something is going to fall to the floor. In the event that the compound should fall onto a ceramic floor, the clean up is easy. Even if the mud has dried to a solid mass, one secret weapon will remove it–water. Scoop up as much of the wet mud as soon as the spill occurs with a paper towel or plastic spatula. Do not use a metal putty knife on the ceramic tile, as it may scratch the surface. Wipe the mud toward the center of the spill with a wet towel or sponge. Keep the area wet, as the mud will dissolve in the water. Dry the area with paper towels or a separate terry cloth towel. If the mud remains, repeat Steps 2 and 3. Wet the mud with a sponge or towel. Let it soak for several minutes. The mud will be rock hard, so avoid the temptation to strike it free from the tile. A wrong move with a blunt tool could crack the tile. Patience is the name of the game here. Agit
