How to bring “life” back to floo
We removed the vinyl tiles that covered (and probably saved) our parlor vestibule tiles. I have been cleaning them and they finally look somewhat clean but very dull. Is there a product to help bring back some color to the tiles—most of them are terracotta and look beautiful orange when wet, but grey/light brown when dry…

Not sure what happened!

I think they're supposed to be matte, right? Most of these old tiles had a matte finish.

If you use a sealer made for stone/quarry tile, it will give them something of a finish (depth -- not shiny but then you wouldn't want that) and make it easier to keep them clean.

Thanks, yes I am looking for depth of color--nothing shiny.
I wasn't sure if it would be an oil or wax product....

Boiled lind seed oil works great on brick, no shine. Might give it a try.
