Default sealer?

Hi, in my mates house he has either ceramic or porcelain or just porcelain faced floor tiles i cant really tell. They have a texture on them that collects dirt and has to scrub them twice a year to keep clean. just wondering if they would be easier to keep clean if a sealent was used on them once cleaned to make them easier to clean. cheers

Andy

Sounds as though your mate has riven porcelain or maybe ceramic. Unfortunately they do collect the dirt. The main problem is the dirt is being held by the textured surface and therefore is difficult to prevent. You will be able to get some topical sealer to attach but it will need regualar application and is probably more work than scrubbing them
