I used a steamer and sandpaper on mine, worked a treat, but hard work!

A thing called a Tough Scourer (I think).  Made by Spontex its a stainless 
steel 'Brillo Pad' type of thing without the soap.  Thicker and flatter 
cross section of 'wire' than a Brillo Pad.

Unreal.  They remove anything without scratching the surface.

If I may invoke the powers of scientific explanation... if the glaze of the
tiles has a hardness which is higher than that of the steel pad's wires,
then the pad won't scratch the tiles. See for

concept.
