Cleaning Minton tiles

[trogg]

Hello, I have some Minton tiles that I need to clean, I have removed lots of cement/paint etc and now need to clean them.
My nearest tile supplies are Tile Mountain and Tops Tiles, looking at Fila ps87 and Fila Deterdek.
I will need to regrout or clean the grout after.
Any ideas ?

Is acid cleaner too harsh? Are these wall or floor tiles as floor tiles seem to respond well to an acid clean. It should not affect the glaze.

not done it in a long while, tile cleaner is a mild acid iirc, are they glazed tiles ? if there not glazed you will need to clean them, wash off the acid, leave it to dry and reseal them

im sure I missed a step - youtube may be of help

Rather than going the route of an acid cleaner I'd try cif and a non scouring spontex pad first.

Suppose it will depend on how soiled the tiles are.

Sorry, I thought I'd replied long ago.

These are floor tiles, don't think that they are glazed, they are very dull, been under laminate for many years.

going to have a play with the tiles just behind the front door, there will be a new
mat going there anyway, cheers for your help so far.
