Yellow discoloration on tiles around spa

Maybe hydrogen peroxide or a cleaner made specifically for stone.

Maybe limonene would work.



 
Maybe oxalic acid or TSP.

Note: Try on a hidden spot first to make sure that the product is safe to use on your surface.

Do you have extra stone from the original installation?

If yes, try on that first.

Always be careful with any chemical and start with a diluted solution first and increase the concentration as needed.

Do not use strong acids like hydrochloric acid.

Do not leave the product on the surface for a long time unless the instructions specifically say to leave it on.

I am 99% certain the issue is sunscreen. The spa tiles colour came right during winter and now as soon as we start swimming again (with sunscreen on) this happens.

The only thing different in the water is bodies and sunscreen. PH, Alkalinity etc always fine.

It's a slightly sticky film. Gotta be sunscreen.
