A classic kitchen choice, but hold your horses - some maintenance is required .
Every week: Sweep regularly to limit the build-up of dirt on the floor.
Ceramic tiles don’t take much cleaning – a mop with mild detergent is enough – but the grout does get grubby. Choose grey grout if possible, which will show the dirt less, and clean it with a soft brush and a mild bleach solution.
Although I have improvised with an episode from K&A this one is a gem and worth the effort. Grimy ceramic tiles...biological washing up liquid (used for clothes – doesn’t matter how cheap it is) mixed in warm water and a little bleach. Gloves, scrubbing brush, damp cloth and a window squeegee (I think that’s how it's spelt!). Have another bucket to hand filled with warm water, start scrubbing with the floor brush (the one like cinders used) scrubbing in circular motions, get a damp cloth to wipe the parts which you have scrubbed, then get your squeegee and wipe away the excess water, get a clean mop soak in the bucket of warm water (prepared earlier) and wash over the part you have scrubbed and squeegeed, leave to dry and admire your hard work!!!! And your arms will be lovely and toned too!!

If you've got a ceramic floor then my advice is don't clean it with soap or other cleaners - just use warm water and scrub it hard by hand. My floor got dull by me using too much product on it, but my new one is still looking great after 18 months.
