Summary
The guide shows how to quickly and effectively strip unwanted paint from tile. Expert tiler Jeff Thacker recommends using xylene on a cloth to dissolve and wipe away paint spots. The article also highlights gentle scraping with a utility knife or scraper to lift stubborn splatters without damaging the tile surface. Heat tools, such as a hair dryer or heat gun, can soften dried paint for easier removal. Readers are urged to work carefully—testing techniques on a small area first—and to use patience and the right tools to protect both tile and grout.
