Hi am able to use this on my tiles stairs. It's shiny porcelain tiles it is very slippery. It's cram colour, will it stain it?

This is a great product for making slippery tile less slippery, however, if you have a glossy tile, it will take away the shine and you have to be very careful on dark tile to make sure you apply evenly or it will look stained. Proper application and attention to detail makes this a great product for slippery tile.

I found that it slightly lightens the color. However, it is a very small price to pay for how well it work. This product is a god send. We even considered ripping up the existing tile because of how slippery it was.

used this product on tile outside on lanai. Followed directions and it worked perfect. Saw no change in tile color or grout. Would use again

This is a pH neutral solution so if you following directions, it will be safe on your floor. I use it on a soft marble flooring and am pleased with its cleaning abilities.

I don't know what Bluestone stairs are. We have colored concrete stairs. The mats have not stained the steps. The HeatTrak mats are heavy. We do not have them secured. They have remained in place.

I think if its tile floor or vct tile no problem but if its mastic glueNo you need to use remover like a striper so you can stain

So far no staining but it does slip some on the carpet. I usually have to pull it back into place every 10 minutes during Insanity- which is a lot of high intensity movements.

My office where it is being used is carpeted, so I'm not sure about porcelain til but I can say the backing is rubberized so my guess is that it would work. I am considering buying another for my tiled kitchen floor and did not even take this into consideration.

No. It's a matte and mostly should be used to seal grout. Ceramic tile should not be sealed to a high gloss. If you don't care and just want it to be shiny, then try a floor finish. I do this for work.

when i polish the counters they become VERY smooth and thus slippery...i find this to be an indication of a good uniform polish....this SHOULD be expected however...i presume that the steps are not smooth like my counters and thus would not have the same issue.

I only used paint and thinned it out with just a little bit of water. If stain is thinner I would assume it would work. I wish I had purchased this a long time ago before I painted 4 rooms!

I had purchased a sample of this tile. I was thinking about using it for a back-splash in my kitchen. When I got it I realized that the face of the tile is extremely rough and porous. This means that it would be impossible to clean and would stain easily. The good part though is that you don't use grout with it because each tile is tight against the other tiles. I don't recommend for a back-splash nor any other place where it could come in contact with anything but dust.

Yes, we used it on our marble countertops in the kitchen. Two coats. I don't think we are going to wait 15 years to do it again. For the most part, no stains, but we are being careful to wipe up spills pretty quickly.

This is a little hat to reply to as I don't know the donation or type of floor. I used the swifter on laminate flooring which did NOT make the floor slippery. This is a cleaner! I bought another Swifer for my hardwood floors up in N.E. The finish on the floors itself, can make the floors slippery until they are dried but I would not blame the Swifer. Let it dry!

I have the brown one & have not seen any staining on my floor. I have a light colored tile.

If it is a smooth sanded cedar then yes you will have slippery issues. Stain would work better.

I used this product on pebble tile. So that isn't really slippery. I did use it on some flat tile, and when I used a second coat, it flaked up white which was very dissapointing. I'm not sure what it will do for slate, which is slippery. Perhaps finds a product that is specific for slate tile and will discourage the slate from being slick. What that would be, I do not know.

Hi Laura, I can't say for sure that it would be, however, I don't see why it wouldn't as there is no color to it to stain the marble. My only reservation is that it might possibly be too harsh for delicate surfaces such as marble. I would google whether or not you can use a bleach based product on tile before you buy this. If you find it's okay on marble then I don't think you will be disappointed as this is the only product I buy to clean all of my bathroom surfaces with.

It is the same color throughout. Not a different color on the bottom. I don't think that you will have any problem with staining. I have tile floors and have put them on top of wet floors and never any problems. These are awesome mats and look really nice. Happy Holidays
