Hi Paul, will they be a pain to clean? – all depends on your definition of a pain – they will certainly be harder to clean than a glazed floor tile. the two things are inexorably linked; what grips people (and dogs) grips dirt. The better the ‘anti-slip’ characterisitics, the more effort needed to clean them.

It is a porcelain so it ought not to stain, but the texture may hold dirt more redily than a smooth surface. Normal cleaning will work, but you may find using a mop may actually end up leaving the floor more dirty; with the texture in the tile grabbing dirt and even fibres off the mop. Normally, all I would suggest is suplimenting the normal cleaning regime, with preiodic use of a deck brush and detergent – so every oncve in a while, when the floor appears to bne getting a little grubby, lightly scrub the floor with a deck brush.

Hope this helps

Ian
