Some floor tiles can actually hide the dirt – it’s true!

It’s a fact that some tiles show every spec of dirt, dust or smear and never look clean no matter how often you clean them eg. Shiny tiles, black tiles, white tiles or plain coloured tiles.

Look for tiles that are matt in finish (I personally LOVE Lopardo: a little shiny, a little matt – perfect), and are also not too dark or too light and a with a bit of a grain or speckle in them. This grain/speckle will hide the light and dark specs that float to the ground, as well as the wet footprints that dry and smudge your clean tiles.

We recommend taking the tile you are looking at home and viewing it in your own bathroom. The light in there will be different to the light in the shop and they might throw a different colour, or be a lot lighter or darker than you remembered them being. I’d also recommend wetting your foot and standing on the tile and seeing how that footprint dries……its these footprints that can make you love or hate your brand new bathroom.

Happy tile shopping!
