You can remove varnish from tiles by making a paste that contains two parts calcium carbonate, one part trisodium phosphate and some water. Using a putty knife, spread the paste over the varnish and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Use a plastic putty knife to remove the paste and varnish, scraping along the tiles as you go to remove as much of the varnish as possible. Rinse the tiles with warm water and pat dry with a clean, dry cloth.
