need help cleaning tiles

I have loads of them

big matt white things

a whole blardy bathroom/ wet room

I have been just cleaning them with a window-washing pole with a microfibre end on and some jif, and they look okay atm, but am thinking maybe I should properly clean a few of them each time I do the bathroom because sooner or later the grout is going to go gammy

what should I use?

if the grout is still ok I would get some grout sealant quickly and apply it to stop the grout going mouldy. I had good intentions of doing that but never got around to it...

Are they newly fitted tiles, or old ones that are grubby? I spetn 1.5 hours the other day cleaning no more than 500cm square of tiles
wore out three fecking scrubby things

PITA

oh Lady good idea yes

however his job is to regularly unscrew the shower drain and clean the hair and gunk out of it

I'm going to stick with wiping the tiles thanks

My mate swears by a powerwasher thing - I've never seen it in action so to speak, but she says its fab for her wet room.

at you showing your DH the gordon thread! He'll never let you come and visit me now
