Please can anyone suggest the best method to deep clean, what I think, are porcelain floor tiles? They have a textured finish and ad we live beside a beach, dirt, dust and sand easily lodge and make the tiles look constantly grubby and generally filthy. I have tried conventional mops, scrubbing on my hands and knees which isn't ideal! Any suggestions, recommendations greatly appreciated!

I've put a concrete floor in my kitchen. We've put 2 coats of sealant on it and I'm pleased, but looking for more of a sheen/polished look. Any advice?

Hi Silvia, Thank you for your suggestion, it's much appreciated. Unfortunately the cupboards which are currently in bedroom one would be too small to convert and if we did convert them then we would need to find some other space for clothes. I think we will need to build an ensuite next to the current bathroom for soil pipe reasons too. It's a bit of an awkward space so we are thinking of knocking internal walls down upstairs and changing the layout completely. Please let me know if you can think of a better layout! Stephanie

Hello Mrs G! I personally love the tile, it really is beautiful and that's why it needs to be highlighted. Having too much of it will drown it so to speak so I would do either one of these 2 options: 1) Leave it on the main floor only. Then on the platform floor and wall, up to the window, I would put a matte grey tile of the exact same colour as the grey in your feature tile. 2) Or put it only on the wall behind the bath up to the ceiling a bit like this: I really think that's your 2 options as otherwise it might be too much. With these I think you'll agree it "frames" the tiles more so they have a real impact. Hope that helps! Anthony
