    Default What to use to clean high gloss floor tiles?? HELP

    Hi there all,
    We have just moved into a brand new house and majority of the house is tiled with big dark charcoal very high glossy ceramic floor tiles.
    Firstly every single mark is showing up on them - AHHHHH!!!

    And now I tried just about every brand of floor/tile cleaner available at the supermarket however to no avail as they all leave the floor streaky or cloudy.

    Does anyone out there have the solution?
    Maybe something natural like vinegar solution - I would love to know!!!

    We are having people over tomorrow for lunch and the floors are yuck!

    Thanks
    Nicole

    We have the same prob with our tiles. When we built our house we chose ivory poreceilne tiles because they looked so great .
    I have found using hot water & eucylyptas oil works, ring the mop out as much as possible and that should help the streaks and cloudyness.

    My parents used to have very glossy white tiles and metho or windex worked for her they allways looked beautify (but no little kids though) she would often add metho to the hot water for a mop (it dries quicker too) and have some in a spray bottle and before guests came she's just give it a quick spray and them wipe with a soft cloth and they came up really nicely.

    I use to Mr Sheen mine after mopping. They came up beautiful for ages however they were very very slippery for the first day or so luckily they were mostly wall tiles not floor tiles

    the old fashioned idea was a little cloudy ammonia in wam water - just ventilate well
