floor tiles

[bluesea]

We have white ceramic riven tiles on the kitchen floor which are hard work to clean, currently using brillo pads, but they pick up dirt again quickily,
Is there any product I can use to seal the tiles after cleaning which will last ?

Not really, they're glazed so are already sealed.

They are not glazed. They are mat finish

Glaze can be matt. Ceramic tiles are usually glazed.

Ok so you are saying there is nothing on the market for sealing ceramic tiles

Sealant is for porous, unglazed materials like terracotta and slate. You can't seal something that is already sealed, and impervious.

Are you sure they're ceramic and not porcelain? You could give Lithofin a call - their tech help is very good and can probably recommend something.

Yes, if they're porcelain you need something similar to this:

If you Google "lithofinbob" you'll see that one of the techs posts on another forum or phone 01962 732126.

Lithofin make excellent sealers and their techs are very helpful.
