Polished Porcelain hints

[chris.tiling]

Evening all...hope everyone is well.

Got three jobs coming up shortly with large polished porcelain tiles and wondered if there was an easier way than I have found in the past to buff them up before and after sealing. I have always spent as long cleaning them / removing smear marks etc as laying them and think I must have missed a trick somewhere.

I normally use a diluted grimex or tile cleaner to clean and then have always used a FILA polished Porcelain sealer. Going to give Lithofin a go this time as a sealer but whats the best cleaner and the best way to rid the tile of smears etc...is it just elbow grease and time?

Cheers

Chris (just after an easy life!)

So I guess it is just elbow grease then? No amazing products / tools to help?

when grouting try to localise the grout to the joints only,it will save time buffing off the excess also when sealing try to remove the excess sealer at the desinated time on the instructions and i don't tend to have any problems,also have several clean dry rags/old towels whatever you use as once they are covered in sealer all you are doing is dragging dirty rags over the tiles
