Hi Joanna, holiday ok thanks, weather not brill till last few days but nice change, and did get taken out to dinner a few times...

Joan, I wouldn't use any strong chemical cleaners like the ones we use in our homes, just some warm water and a little biological washing powder dissolved in it might be good, rinse well and polish up with a soft cloth. Lucky son to have a house bought for him, hope he looks after the tiles as they will add value to the house if kept in good nick lol
Hope you are getting him to help with the work, so he appreciates the care they need to look good.

Thanks Joanna
Will have to make up some flasks of hot water. The water system has been disconnected BUT I will try that.
I will be on my hands and knees.

Thanks Liz
I have been googling and am googling at the mo. Seen some floor tiles similar but can't seem to see the cleaning solutions.
The house is for our son who thinks they are grotesque and I said when they are cleaned up they will be gorgeous....................Now hoping they will clean because the new front door has already been put in !!!

Afternoon Liz,
Hope you had a lovely holiday!
I was going to suggest that Joan first gave them a wipe-over with warm soapy water to see what condition they are in - if they are very grubby.
That might be all they need.

Lucky you, Joan,why not google Victorian porch tiles and see what you get, or contact an antique dealer and ask him for advice, or a specialist house restorer.

Hello everyone
We have just bought a house and it has lovely wall and floor tiles in the porch. They look original to the house and so about 120 years old.
Any ideas on how to clean them ?
