Cleaning polished porcelain tiles HELP!

[HouseOfCrayCray]

Does anyone have these? I had them laid earlier this year and they're driving me insane. They look so greasy after cleaning, leaving footprints everywhere, literally looks like someone's smeared butter on the floor. For a short while I found the best way was glass cleaner & microfibre mop, then every so often a good scrub on my hands/knees with kitchen roll/glass cleaner.... but for some reason it's started doing this again. I had them sealed when laid & scrubbed them at that point to remove the initial residue they come with. I've tried 'polished porcelain' cleaning solution, was even worse than the glass cleaner. Have tried water, water/fabric conditioner, water/fairy. HELP!

I have these exact tiles In my bathroom. Have found the only way to get them shiny is on my hands and knees with a microfiber cloth. It does take alot of pressure tho to really get rid of the streaks!

Do it, life’s too short.

I wonder if your waters very soft & you need less detergent than it says on the bottle?.

I've got these exact tiles and a Border Terrier that sheds hair and loves the flower beds. I just use Flash in really hot water and an e-mop. Squeeze it out though or I do get some water streaks.

Steam mop works fine but have to put on lowest steam level or get the "tide" marks you did. I thought they'd be worse than they are with a bonkers dog but they're ok.

Also find Asda or Tesco floor wipes bring it up fine, Asda probably better as not quite as "wet" as Tesco

We do get the odd paw print but nothing a quick rub with a dry towel doesn't sort out. I'm a self confessed slattern and certainly don't mop every day and I don't get footprints like you posted - only ever had that when DH dropped an entire jar of mayonnaise when drunk and decided to clean it up with antibacterial spray.

I use this mop with flash uk.e-cloth.com/products/deep-clean-mop-head

I don't get it then, maybe it's something with the specific tiles i got? Did you all get them sealed?

I did the steam on the highest heat yesterday. I've just tried on the lowest to see how that turns out but immediately after they look the same 'wetness'.

Our tiles came with instructions to seal but our tiler said you can’t seal something non porus & didn’t do it.

If they get wet water sits in little globules on the surface.

I've no idea if mine were sealed the developer laid them, (new build) however knowing what I know now if they could get away without doing something I would guess they weren't sealed!

Dropped/spilled water just does what water normally does, like if you spill it on any hard floor!

Yep mine's the same, the droplets just sit on top. My tiler said you don't need to seal them, but the tile shop advised we do so he did it anyway.
