I think the use of micro fibre cloths are for removal of any grout haze from face of tile once grouts gone off.

Stockinette for polishing.

Does anyone pole their joints any more? Especially in this heat

Yeah, no sponges used at all, just a wipe off with a cloth.
I tried it with a glazed tile but went back to the washboy & bucket & sponge.

Not surprised, it must just clog up really quickly, I only use Micro-Fibre to dry the motor off

Best micro fibre cloths I have found are from costco they also sell big packs of white towels great for polishing your work off

That's what I use Gary, Costco Glasgow have stopped selling them & do their own range now.
Need to buy some soon so will see how they fair.

Yep. It was me.

I've bought some Costco ones now but haven't used them yet (there yellow in colour). Just waiting for the blue Screwfix ones to run out.

I don't find that they clog up. If you fold them in half and then half again you then have 8 passes of a clean cloth to wipe across your tiles.

I just couldn't get enough water out of the washboy sponge........I nearly fell into the bucket a few times after trying to remove excess water from the sponge on the rollers!

Haha, I done that a few months ago with a big BAL bucket 3 quarters full of water.
I was using my snips & had the cut tile balanced on the edge of the bucket & fell face down into the bucket as I tried to snip a bit of tile.

Same same! Hahaha lost count how many times I've slipped off rollers! Haha

I use the, first wash as Normal with sponge or wash boy, then once it's dried off and got the hazel instead of polishing, a wipe with wet microfibre leaves them mint
