I would think they have to clean it, or if they won't, they must give you a satisfactory answer as to why. you can say that the tile is dirty and grimy, and attach the photo. if i were you, i put put it as part the defects list, even though its not like chipped or broken.

You say not clean, the developer say clean already. Hard to argue. I'm not saying its wrong for you to ask for a clean house (like show unit), only that the developer has no contractual obligations to clean it further if he thinks its is sufficiently clean (again, quite objective here). here's what to do - list down the defects and show photos. See if they act. If they do, well and fine. If not, let's see what's their response. that last bit is iffy. You say not clean, the developer say clean already. Hard to argue.

Its not a mistake, my email is meant for you to publish in your column. At least to create more awaremess on buyers right. In this intsance, the developer sent his site supervisor to sweep clean the house but did not want to co-operate on a proper washing. Inspection after the sweeping shows no signs of defect but still needs lots of scrubing. As such, how do we add this to the defect list? Do we still have any ground to demand a proper washing of the construction grime off the beautiful tiles? Please advise. Thanks! Thanks for your reply.
