black tiles

I put black tiles down in my kitchen. They are kind of like a quarry tile i think. They show up every little piece of dirt and are driving me crazy. What is the best thing to do ?

Black anything shows up every piece of dirt. Black looks well when its clean and shiney.

Take them back up or walk in black dirt, Its sad i know but its life. They best tile to hide dirt is a tile that looks dirty already you know the Beige/Brown/Cream tiles

There really is nothing you can do unfortunately. I recently put them in a kitchen extension and every time i visit the house they give out about how dirty they get. All you can do is be prepared to scrub....a lot!!

i assume you have a cut stone tile rather than a porcelin tile.

i have a limestone looking tile in my kitchen . there is a seler you can buy to stop oil stain sinking in.

other than that all you have to do it litterally wear them in they will go shiny (ish after a while)

mine look fine not that they are worn a bit.

as for crumbs and stuff a quick sweep sorts that out.
