How does it work? Does it etch the floor and/or change the appearance of the tile?

It worked very well and there were no changes in appearance on the two floor i used it on. Be sure you completely clean the surface being sealed.

Yes, it etches the floor, but I did not notice any difference in the tile appearance.

It is an acid, and does etch the tile. Only you can know if it is acceptable. It does work well in a shower.

doesn't change a thing. i applied it to a tile shower floor that was really slippery and has worked great for the last 6 months.

Floor must be clean, just apply & let dry, we can generally get a year coverage, works very well

I don't know exactly how it works, but it works very well and doesn't change the appearance at all. L. Bray

I used a sprayer and sprayed it on the whole floor. It didn't clean my grout but it sure made the tile sparkly

Does it streak or not completely remove dirt? I use it with the Bona tile, stone linoleum cleaner on my ceramic and linoleum tile and it works fine. You do need to use different pads when you use the different cleaners as the formulas are different for the different surfaces. I invested in two different mops and multiple pads so I just toss the used ones in the laundry after each cleaning to get the best results.

There is a limit how much it can clean the grout. If it clean (WHITE) then it keeps them clean and white but if it is already dark/dirty it wont make them white again! But it does clean quite well. Remember it is a compact unit and it does not compare with large floor units (industrial type)

Yes, it absolutely does work on tile floors. We innstalled new tile floors last month and it did a super job getting up the fine dust after I had mopped it twice! Highly recommend.

It works some, I had gorilla glue on a screen and it got 80% of it off. Might work better on tile. Did take paint off of screen as well

I havn't used it on tile yet, but I did drill a hole in my concrete foundation on the edge were the footer is. I needed an entry point for my water line. It would not cut thru the bottom plate, so I used a carbide hole saw to go thru the bottom plate. After that I changed back to the diamond bit, used a lot of water, took my time, and it bored all the way thru. And the bit was in great shape. The bottom plate helped hold water around the bit to keep it cool, and it worked great. I would think tile would be no problem. Try to keep water on it while you drill, and go slow.

I have zero doubt that it will work. I would prep the surface of the tile with sandpaper or steel wool at the least.

I have colored grout and I haven't seen any changes, however my tile is raised and the grout is lower and so I am not super sure that the brushes are actually getting in the grout line, but the substance itself did not change the color of the grout at all.

It worked great for my apartment! The grout was white to begin with then went black from mildew. A few areas required re-applying, but in then end it looked like when I first moved into the place.

I do not know because we have the polished concrete floors. I do have tile in my bathroom but, it never looks dirty enough for me to tell if the steamer has cleaned it or not. It always looks clean. It doesn't produce a whole lot of moisture (your floor doesn't look soaking wet when you go over it) but, a lot of vapor production.

It all depends on the amount of imperfection. It did not fully level out my floor. I should have leveled the floor first.

I do not have tile floors, but I did take it over to a relatives house. She wanted to try it out. It seemed to do a good job on her tile floors but it was just a one time thing. Hopefully you can get an answer from someone who deals with them in their home.

It comes with a hard floor squeegee attachment. It works on my tile and manufactured wood floor.

Yes. The FloorMate does a great job on tile, not so great with the grout though.

Yes it does. I used mine on both ceramic and porcelain tiles and got good results.
