Default Shower stain remover needed

Okay, I know I shouldn't have, but I did. Last week I inadvertently stepped into my walk-in shower to remove an empty bottle of shampoo only to discover that my "brand new" black sole flip-flops stained the white porus tile. Tried everything I know to remove the stain but it wont go away. Am I going to have to replace the entire floor to get these awful looking stains out?

Try a product with Oxy in it or a good tile and grout cleaner and Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser. Can't guaranty that will get it out, but I've found it to work more often than not.

I agree. I love Mr. Clean and anything with Oxi in it!!

A few years ago in Michigan, my cat got bit when she was outside on her leash. She freaked out!! I was with her and she clawed and scratched me in many, many places!! I went running in the house for her cage leaving 18 bloody footprints on our white Berber carpet. While I was at the ER, Mom called a professional carpet cleaner and he couldn't get the stains out. A couple of days later a friend told me that a nurse recommended half OxiClean and half peroxide on blood stains. You still can't see where the stains were. I still use that mixture for any stains on that carpet. And, yes Torie is still alive and is still the purr-fect cat!!

I would try the OxiClean. I don't think I would use peroxide in your case!!

You can also try some lemon juice with baking soda or baking soda and white vinegar.

I think I'd return those flip flops as well.

GOOF OFF will take it off, I bet.
