Boy, I can't..... you can hardly SCRUB that crap off..... even from
things like glazed tile....

Well just another reason why you need to try Zaino Bros. wash.

I order online. Before he started to accept credit cards online, I had
to send print out an order form and mail it to him with a check. At the
time, I called him and he told me he did not have a local distributor.
Now he is state of the art, and actually accepts credit cards.
