So we recently layed some spanish tile, and hoped to finish it up this weekend (except the sealant). So we have about 60 layed, no grout. Evidently, our largest dog took a massive diarrhea-like **** on 2 tiles. My wife says the tile absorbed the moisture, and the **** is stuck. Anyone know if there's a way to clean it, and make tile..uh...un-absorb it? I'd hate to have to rip it up just because of some dog ****.

Yah, rip it out and replace it. Make sure you wear your depends around the tile from now on, you "dog".

next question: what's the best way to rip out tile without damaging adjacent tiles? And how to remove the thinset?



I guess better now than before the sealant/after grout.



I'm kinda pissed right now.

If you haven't grouted yet, just put a screwdriver in the center and smash it. You can use a gasket scraper and a hammer to get the thinset off if it doesnt come off easy.

haha, suckas! my wife's friend got most of it up. She said they were literally scraping off layers of feces. They then used "Kaboom, tile and grout restorer," and soaked the living crap out of it (wait...that makes too much sense). She said she thinks she got it all up, but they have to wait for it to dry to see if there's any discoloration.



but thanks anyways! I really do need to get an air chisel...
