Estiqomah Junadi 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2007 Hi,I would like to share my problem and hope someone can help. I bought a premium flat in Punggol. The flooring of the house is polish homogeneous and parquet flooring in all the rooms. My husband and I wanted to save as much as we can on reno so we declined the acid wash thinking it wasn't necessary. Now my tiles look very dusty and it doesn't shine like it should even though I mop the house daily. What should I do? Is there a special chemical I can buy from the store to make my flooring shine. Please help. Thank you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It should goes well after few round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you should not concern about the place of manufacture as the process and technic are basically the same, so do the pros and cons as they are basically same product. Only concern should be your budget, the design, size, and finishes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever made any comparison from the test report or not? No offence but definetely imposible to say Italian and China made tiles are equal in quality.
