Dirty porcelain tiles.
 
Hi there,

My cousin moved into a her newly decorated house recently and they
have porcelain tiles in the kitchen, they are turning cloudy and don't
look so nice any more.

What is the best way to clean them and keep them looking good?

WD-40 or (in extremis) an angle grinder. :-)

Wonder if they were grouted using adhesive/grout? This tends to leave a
film.

Use a Scotchbright pad and some warm water with a drop or two of washing
up liguid, then polish with a clean dry cloth. Or if kitchen grease
causing the problem a proprietary cleaner follow by the same polishing.
They are presumably glazed and nothing should be absorbed into them.

Mild acid. A proprietary spray on descaler is probably good enough.
