Hello.
I have a ceramic tile floor in my kitchen which also spills over into
my connected breakfast room. The tiles are a light beige/taupe color.
When we had it put in several years ago we obtained 16"X16" large tiles
that did not have a glossy/shiny surface, at least not entirely.
They've always been a challenge to clean and keep clean.
We would have preferred, in retrospect, to have gotten and installed
the shiny/high gloss tiles simlar to what we have in our bathroom
(12X12 tiles).

My wife has tried using bleach on a few tiles which really do seem to
clean them rather well. I question whether the bleach might be doing
surface damage, even over time, to the tiles. If we did all the tiles
I have a feeling that we'd be forced to clean all the tiles using
bleach every few months....forever. I was thinking it might be better
to bite the bullet and have all new tiles installed (of course
obtaining the shiny tiles we should have gotten in the first place).

Any thoughts on the best most effective way to clean non-glossy ceramic
tiles? Also any thoughts on if using bleach (other than the problem
with toxic fumes) would damage the tile surface over time?

Thanks for any suggestions!
Walley
