I have a large house with a very large area of highly glossed tiles.......I've tried every cleaner, used meths, vinegar the lot......and the only way I get streakfree tiles is to clean them section by section and then buff with a soft dry mop.......takes me hours to clean the whole house so now I do a room each day........but I will try Chubbychicky's suggestion. Thanks

We do not subscribe to 'a one size (or one tile surface finish) fits all' approach to design. The surface finish of a tile, whether matt, semi gloss or gloss should be selected for its relevance to its context and environment.

I would agree that gloss tiles are not appropriate for wet area floors, and the larger the tile the more chance of slipping. Grout lines seem to provide a bit more traction, so the larger the tile, the fewer grout lines and the less traction. However the more textured a tile, such as in a non-slip tile, the more dirt sticks and the harder it is to get clean. So the best answer for a bathroom floor is a smooth matt, smaller format tile. If you are using a doorless shower recess make sure you allow for an additional floor waste and grading outside the shower recess to minimise water pooling around the floor after you have had a shower.

Hi, I’ve attached a photo of my bathroom where we have a similar combination. The rest of my floors are timber, well past their prime. The gloss tiles take some spotlight off my lovely grey tiles and look a bit, and they are, cheap. But they do reflect light which is why I went gloss.
