Quarry tiled floor

[MrsDoolittle]

We moved into a house with quarry tiles last November. They are almost throughout the entire groudfloor.
I was a little dubious at first - we have broken so many glasses and mugs on them. However, on balance, I like them. They seem to be very easy to keep clean.
I have never lived with them before. Does anyone have any tips?

Buy plastic glasses!

we had them in the kitchen at ourl asy house and smashed ;lots but it taught us to be careful!!

This is a good point, of course!

no tips on the dropping-things front, sorry. I only have tiles in the porch and the conservatory where nothing breakable goes!

Have found the best stuff for cleaning them though but cannot remember what on earth it's called - it's Tile Klear or Tile Klean or something - in a clear bottle with a blue lid... leaves tiles shiny but not slippery and moisture etc beads up and doesn't soak in

Tescos etc stock it, just mops on.

Thanks for that Mrs Badger. I will try it and let you know.
Btw I printed off your camping checklist for our first ever camping trip last week. Dh was most impressed with it. It was most useful. Thank you.

at last, my anal listmaking skills come in handy
