Had to do a sample clean today.128 units, all 4 bedroom with ensuites lounge dining kitchen veranda and stairs.Did 1 unit.This is how its done.Scrub tiles with a heavy duty cleaner and use a grout cleaning tool for cleaning grout joints. We used a blue pad on the polyvac machine. We then neutralised with S4S a marble cleaning product. S4S works great on porcelain as well as being a marble cleaner.Wet all mess. Simple but effective.
