Maybe the exfoliation from tomorrow’s red rain will clear it away.

Sorry …………….just a warning not to clean up too much today, when you’ll have to do it all again after tomorrow.

HI...are you referring to the underwater tiles...if so of course hoover and brush the tiles and backwash to clean the sand filter...if you still have issues you can get a soft stainless steel brush and gentle sweep the tiles...remember to go gently as tiles are ceramic and too much pressure could scratch them. Good luck.

Remember power hose and jet wash is illegal if water goes into drains or onto the street. I always do my washing/powerwashing when its raining. The police in Benijofar will pick you up on this if they see the discharge.

Of course I haven't been over to my place for 18months so not sure what the red sand staining will look like, but I used to find that a solution of biological washing powder worked quite well on my balustrades and tiles.x
