FAQ’s – How Should I Clean An Original Victorian Tile Floor

These days, a lot of people do come across a fantastic and original Victorian tiled floor when they move into a new house. They may discover it when taking up an old carpet or any other floor covering. Now Victorian tiled floors can be characterised by the small and  unglazed clay tiles in earth-like colours such as black, red, buff and often with white, blue and green shades incorporated. The floors themselves are typically laid in geometric repeating patterns with elaborate borders in many cases.The main challenge with these kinds of floors is to remove many years worth of polishes, waxes, dirt and grime. One product that will work wonders on such a floor is Aquamix’s Heavy Duty Tile and Grout Cleaner. This will be sufficient in most cases. However, should you find that the floor has deeply ingrained dirt, residues of adhesive, grout haze or paints then a product like Sealer and Coating Remover will remove these stubborn elements completely.

FAQ – My Glazed Tiles Are Dull, How Do I Clean Them?

Glazed tiles are by nature ones that have already been effectively sealed with a very thin layer of glass. Now the dullness may be a result of wear and tear and may tell you that the tiles are nearing the end of their useful life. However, in most cases the dullness indicates there is a build up of deposits on the surface. Now, if this is limescale, we’d recommend you use a product like Shower Tiles Plus. If you have dull glazed floor tiles then we’d recommend you use something like Heavy Duty Tile and Grout Cleaner but make sure that you rinse the floor really well afterwards.
