Once we got the old tiles knocked off and a couple rounds of pressure washing in it was time to see hom much cleaner it’d get by acid etching the surface.
Here I’ve started the acid wash,
I was just doing it by hand, using a spray bottle and scrub-broom,
this was after the first gallon;

after etching through the dark/black stains I could see more to do, and I found the Anthony Pools tile;

It was in doing the second half that I figured out a better way of applying the acid; using a super soaker!

After acid washing the whole thing, and continuing to remove old/bad/delaminated plaster, basically anything that sounded hollow, was stained/softer than the rest;
