So your terracotta floor tiles in your kitchen are dull and sticky, and you just can’t figure out why?

The tiles may be deteriorating and dirt is just sticking in the sealer. No heavy duty tile and grout cleaner can help you at this point.

Don’t waste time looking for the best mexican tile cleaner

The best way to clean terracotta tiles after they have been properly sealed and restored does not come down to a product. It really is about the scrubbing and buffing dry. Change your water often and do sections of the floor. You can even change water per room if you do not have tons of square footage. If you do have tons of square footage, then change water often, and use a low suds cleaner not a heavy duty cleaner. A neutral cleaner is suffice, and degreasers work well.

The other chemicals are too harsh and could dull the floor. The buffing dry cannot be stressed enough because the tiles are like glass, so think of how you use windex. Can you wipe windex around with a wet rag? No you must buff it dry. People always ask me how to clean high gloss floor tiles or, what’s the best way to clean tile floors without leaving streaks.
