Cleaning uneven floor tiles

[Tigerygiraffe]

We have cream kitchen tiles that have a very uneven surface, lovely to look at but a nightmare to clean. Dirt catches in the grooves and ridges and builds gradually and nothing seems to shift it except a scrubbing brush. And I'm very tired lazy these days so am looking for a magic fix. I use a floor cleaner (any type) but can anyone recommend anything?

No help but watching with interest we have large stone flagstones which are rough and they'll shred mops over time but not really get clean except with a scrubbing brush.

another one that feels your pain; I have acres of inherited tiles that trap every bit of muck that comes into the house. Watching with hope

Bumping for you. I was going to start a thread to ask exactly the same question today.

I currently use a Lakeland mop with pads that you throw in the washing machine but it just isn't good enough on textured tiles.

I've the same problem. Was wondering if a steam mop might work - anyone tried one for this?

Following as I use a steam mop on my uneven kitchen floor tile. But still need to get down on knees to give it a good scrub :(

LadyMcFish can I ask which one you have so that I can cross it off my list of possible mops to buy?

I'm still hoping that there is a magic steam mop out there that will revolutionise is aspect of my life!

Hands and knees, that's how I do mine.

Watching with interest as I've a vax & useless for this problem...

I have a steam cleaner, plus I have just got one of these that comes with a special pad for mopping floors and which might work for in-between wipe rounds so it never has a chance to build up.

i think Roomba do a special bespoke floor mopping device that might be worth a look as well.

BTW don't laugh - would pressure washing it with a Karcher work?

You would flood you kitchen

I feel your pain. Cilit bang (sic?) is the only thing I have found that works without scrubbing and then you have to leave it about fifteen minutes. Then rinse with a mop or steamer.

I would never in a zillion years lay these type of tiles. I hate them!

Pressure wash one end, Vax going at the other?
