yes the large 2x2 are nice but it has to be a decent design too

TQ....considering just polish existing parquet since some say it still looks good.....in future maybe will lay Vinyl on top (nowdays, no need to hack existing parquet to put vinyl)

and put the money elsewhere...

if you want better longevity get those without printed surface meaning from top to bottom is the same color so when chip off it doesn't look very obvious

Plain type will be better. Sometimes with design won't look good when faded.

that's the problem with the cheaper printed tiles

Well, if using the wrong chemical for cleaning, getting expensive tiles also the same.

dunno
the maid likes to use powder detergent for everything she cleans

Better tell her to change cleaning agent. Strong soda are very bad

talking about soda
the thing about coke for removing rust is legit?

Using acid will also the same(coke or other soft drinks are having very low pH)

my usual combo or tooth paste and vinegar hasn't failed me yet

That's better chemical combination compare to CO2 drinks

during sale i got the stone tiles which hopefully last longer

bad news....just noticed got termite ...just started....looks like no choice but to change to tiles now rather than later...then more stuff will kena..if bed/wardrobe etc

anything wood have to change to aluminium ie door frames

Hi all sifu,

May I know is there a way to clean the tiles other than using water?

I have bought a subsale house where the ex-owner have lay tiles at the car porch previously. Tiles is those rough type (for car porch)

The tiles looks kind of old-ish (dirty/black/dirt) but still in good condition (no crack, etc).

Is it possible for me to clean it/restore it (around 70%-80% new)?
Reason is I wish to save the renovation cost and skip the tiling work for my car porch.

Thanks

Wen i did renovation on tiles to my house ktchn, the contractr quata me rm7.00/sqf include tiles(normal one). Hacking he charge me rm1.50/sqf.. Then i plan to buy the tiles by my slf n ask him to hack and lay out the tiles. He charge me 6.50/sqf for it. Maybe if u wan mins i can share his contact to u.

You can polish it back. After polish u can use it for 5-6years. It vil look new.

erm....full reno?

When was this? Price gn up YoY

yep...bot a basic unit
