1. Tea towel
When the cement dust is still quite fresh you can try cleaning the concrete dust with a tea towel. Rub the surface of the tiles quite hard with a dry tea towel. This may remove the cement dust, but it is rather hard work and also takes quite a long time.
2. Scrapers
You can also try scraping tools. You must be very careful not to damage the tiles if you choose this method of concrete dust removal.
3. Vinegar mixture
Mix equal parts of vinegar and water (50/50). This acidic mixture works well for cleaning concrete dust. This mixture can damage your tiles, so we recommend that you test it on a surplus tile first.
