Cleaning Tile Floors

I have tile floors in my house. I noticed after cleaning them with the recommended cleaners they just didn't looked as nice as when they where brand new. I started to experiment. I found that spraying an area with 409 first, then washing made the floor look and feel cleaner. It worked great on the kitchen floor; removing grease that can't be seen but is there. 409 doesn't hurt the tile or the grout. It doesn't take any longer to wash my floor when I do this, but I do have to remember to carry the bottle of 409 with me. I have been using this method for several years and I am very happy with the results.

In Morocco, they used soapy water and a squeegee on their floors. These were glazed tiles. If your tiles are glazed, they are the same sort of surface as dishes. Any soap will do. If they are unglazed, they will be porous, and that is a different matter.
