Mopping a ceramic tile floor - how to get streak-free finish?

[teepee2]

I have matt tiles as well but cant say ive ever noticed any streaks. When DH washes the floor he puts way too much floor cleaner in and the tiles get really slippery. I think the key is to not put too much cleaner into the water. You just need a small amount to get the dirt off and let the hot water do the rest.

I use a Vileda strip mop and a product called Long Life Tile Cleaner by Pascoes which I get from Bunnings.

My tiles are the slippery kind, so that is why I use that Tile Cleaner product.

We have high gloss tiles and they show up sooo much worse than our matte tiles do - our matte tiles are quite light in colour, that might be why it shows up worse on yours.

We use a floor cleaner - the nature's choice one I think. It is about the only thing that doesn't show up streaks. Apart from that - a regular mop and hot water.

I have white gloss tiles. I've found the less the floor cleaner, the better they come up. We have a Bissel Steam Mop which we use mostly anyway, which does the job beautifully

Steam mop or very hot water and metho (1 capfull to 1/2 bucket). Hubby is a tiler.

I forgot about the metho! My dad swears by it (he's a builder)

Just a question for those who use metho. Can you smell the metho once you're done cause I cant stand that smell

nope I dont even notice it when I am mopping

my blend that works well on tiles and wooden floors is a squeeze of natures own floor cleaner, a bit of metho and a little bit of disinfectant- i use new clenz
the trick is to only use hot boiling water to wash the floors with- either boil a pot or boil the kettle a few times- the floor will dry soo quick with the hot water and no streaks!!
i use an old fashioned mop and bucket too

I've never noticed the smell at my parents place.
