Hi there

The job's nearly finished, porcelain kitchen floor tiles laid, excess grout cleaned off and I'm just about to colour the grout where it had bleached due to the acid cleaner.

Just wondering what to use to polish the porcelain up, all the grout haze is off, they just look a little dull and lifeless when dry but really nice when wet!

Any suggestions?

Ta in advance

Steve

(ps: they're darkish grey)

Was going to ask a simular question, only difference is my floor tiles are ceramic, they are like a fake grey slate

My floor has been down for a few months now, I cleaned it today witth a multipurpose floor cleaner that did say for ceramic, it has come up ok, but wondering if I could get a little more shine without making it too slippery

Firstly, is the emulsifying pad like the scrubbing side of a kitchen sponge? and is that also a good way for ceramic? i've cleaned a few tiles with the above and they deffinatly look better

Could anyone recommend a good liquid cleaner, that will give a deeper shine

Many Thanks

Matt
