Dear colleagues,

In our conservatory and downstairs lavatory we have a floor made of 9" square
terrazzo tiles.  This was laid before 1976, and on the whole it is fine.  I
clean it with Ecover floor soap, and this has improved it a lot.

However, there are several places where the surface is marred by smears of
cement from when it was installed.  I have tried getting these off with an
ordinary scraper, of the wallpaper sort, but no progress.  I know that
removing the cement will do nothing to improve some marks possibly caused by
rotary tools or cold chisels.  Short of replacing the whole floor how can I
improve it?

I have 1 spare tile, without any maker's name.  It seems to be in 2 layers,
the top one being polished and the underneath one is more like asbestos.

TIA,  Robin.
