  1. Is there a difference between porcelain and ceramic tile or are they the same? Does either need to be sealed for a kitchen floor. If not the tile, does the grout need to be sealed.

  2. Hi Ann,
    Porcelain tiles are formed under extremely high pressure and fired at very high temperatures. This make these tiles much denser and stronger than glazed ceramic tiles.
    Ceramic tile is a great option, and yes, if nothing else, the grout should be sealed, though it’s best to seal the entire floor, because ceramic tile can get stained.

  3. Can you tell me what is the best thing to use to clean the ceramic kitchen floor; Swifter, old fashioned rope mop, spone mop, or steam cleaner?

  4. I have great sucess damp-mopping with a vinegar/water solution (1:15 ratio) with a microfiber mop. Have a spare mop head (dry)or a microfiber cloth to “polish” your tile afterwards – no streaks or smudges that way!

  6. Recently put ceramic tile down in our kitchen and the installer told us Murphy’s Oil Soap is the best to use on the tiles is that correct? He also said my Swifter Wet jet is fine as well. I want to make sure that those 2 suggestions were correct. Would you email me and let me know please? Thank you

  7. Hi Ann-
    I want to put tile in my kitchen (250 sq feet). I’m unsure about the color of tile I should pick. Do I need to match the cabinets to the floor? The cabinets are oak now but I have considered painting them white at a later date. I want to have a tile that would match either.
    Thank you!
    Dana
