And even though the tile floor may be clean, it always looks dirty. Many have resorted to constantly waxing and stripping and re-waxing these tiles. Applying a coating or wax on tile floors may seem like a less expensive option at first, but when you tally up all the maintenance it incurs, you are actually spending a lot of money trying to keep these floors looking shiny.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what are your options? How can you polish ceramic and porcelain tiles without using a topical sealer or coating?<\/p>\n<p>Oh look! I have your tile polishing answer right here: we call it the <a title=\"Tile Glow(R) System\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intlstoneworks.com\/products.htm#tile\">Tile Glow\u00ae System<\/a>. This system is a natural, non-wax compound for the honing, polishing and restoration of most unglazed ceramic, porcelain and quarry tiles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The system contains two products: the first is <a title=\"Tile Glow(R) #1\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intlstoneworks.com\/tile\/tileglow1.htm\">Tile Glow\u00ae #1<\/a>, the honing compound, and the second is <a title=\"Tile Glow(R) #2\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intlstoneworks.com\/tile\/tileglow2.htm\">Tile Glow\u00ae #2<\/a>, the polishing compound.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This system does not contain hazardous acids or solvents. It contains citric acid, a &#8220;natural&#8221; acid used in food preparation and cosmetics, which gives it excellent tile and grout cleaning power. <a title=\"Tile Glow(R) System\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intlstoneworks.com\/products.htm#tile\">The Tile Glow\u00ae System<\/a> gives a long lasting finish and natural shine to tiles. It does not yellow or scuff and it eliminates the need for the constant waxing and stripping of tiles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We tend to find that when a surface is polished, people believe it is cleaner. With the <a title=\"Tile Glow(R) System\" href=\"http:\/\/www.intlstoneworks.com\/products.htm#tile\">Tile Glow\u00ae System<\/a>, the tile floor will remain polished for a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the difference:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Ceramic-b4after-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-48\" alt=\"Ceramic b4after copy\" src=\"http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Ceramic-b4after-copy-300x150.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Ceramic-b4after-copy-300x150.jpg 300w, http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/Ceramic-b4after-copy.jpg 504w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/photo-308.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-50\" alt=\"photo-308\" src=\"http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/photo-308-300x218.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/photo-308-300x218.jpg 300w, http:\/\/intlstoneworks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/photo-308.jpg 598w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Want to learn more about how to apply the Tile Glow\u00ae System?
