How do you remove grout that is adhered to a tile floor?

TCNA - Technical Services: FAQ
Removing grout that is adhered to a tile floor can be difficult. The type of tile greatly affects the difficulty of grout removal; also, if the grout was polymer modified, it may be more difficult to remove. In general, the more porous the surface, the better grout will adhere - conversely, grout is more easily removed from dense impervious tiles (e.g. porcelain). To remove the grout, start with an alkaline cleaner and a nylon scrub pad.

Why do I need to remove and prevent scale buildup?

ScaleSafe
Scale buildup on heat transfer surfaces causes metal fatigue which can result in premature equipment failure. It also acts as an insulator thereby reducing heat transfer efficiency with a resulting increase in energy consumption. The high cost of fuel alone makes it increasingly important to maintain scale free equipment systems. A 1/4" coating of scale on a heat transfer surface can require 55% more energy than normal to attain the same temperature.

Can I use Goo Gone to remove melted candle wax from my fine furniture?

Magic American and Goo Gone - Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Just follow the instructions for hard surfaces. Then wipe it clean and top with your usual furniture polish. Combustible means you'd actually have to heat the Goo Gone to a temperature of 133??F and use a match to ignite it. Flammable means it would burn if you put a match to it at room temperature, and Goo Gone is not flammable. It's safe to clean your dryer drum and your oven... just wash with soap and water when you're through.
