# How to Remove Blue Stain Dots on Porcelain Tile
Blue spots on porcelain tile can be caused by a blue hand soap or cleaning solution, or they could occur if you have copper, or acid, water. This type of water often leaves blue or green deposits on porcelain tile in the bathroom. Prevent this by installing a water softener designed for copper water. Remove stains with soap or an ammonia solution that will clean the stains without damaging the porcelain.
