How do I keep tile floor clean?
Comments (27)I started to have tiles in my kitchen, then in my sunroom and will soon have my bathroom with tiles. Like trulyblessedmum, I could not for a while have the tiles completely clean, no matter how many times I rinsed the mop. They were not shining as they should, and yes, if you walked on them wearing socks, the socks would get dirty. But then I started to use Oxy Clean, a very versatile stain cleaner product (it is great to get stains off your clothes, even blood stains). I dissolve one and half or two measurefuls in four litres of hot water, wet the floor with it with a mop and leave it to work for 10 minutes. I then mop up the liquid (don't even need to scrub) and dry the floor with an old terry towel. The floor sparkles and any stains on the tiles or the grout are gone. The grout looks darker but reverts to its original colour when completely dry. Suzanne...See MoreHuh?!?
Comments (14)I'm not quite mastering the intent of the tub (let alone the sink). It's supposed to have a soothing effect? that I'm having trouble imagining. But then, neither one of us has been in the typical jetted spa tub here in the year we've been here, or any tub in the last couple of decades.

Comments (5)Thanks everyone for your replies. I think we will have to relook at our choice. :-( I do have a few follow up questions though. . . If I look at alternatives like Antiqued cambrian black or nordic black, how high maintenance are those? I see they block finger prints, but our sample of AB honed does not show finger prints (at least on the part that is sealed). Also, I am not sure if these others fit our taste. I like the cape code look (if I can use that term). Very traditional. Are these others considered traditional? It is hard to tell from the web! Thanks, patty...See Morecolleenoz
