The better the ‘anti-slip’ characterisitics of the tile, the more effort needed to clean them". Usually you need to adopt a slightly different cleaning regime: Sweep or vaccum loose dirt Use a deck brush with long enough bristles to get into the texture frequently Use a high alkaline cleaner , inconjunction with a deck brush more regularly than you would for a smooth floor. As you appear to be in Aus, try contacting my friend A'nge at www.aqua-seal-com.au - he can advise you in real time Hope this helps Ian Use Hi Elaine,
