Saltillo is essentially made of sliced bricks.  Big deal, you say?  Bricks are tough, why do I need to restore them?  Well, your saltillo tile is extremely porous.  In Mexico, where a great deal of saltillo is made, workers can't even touch the tile without gloves as even the oil of their hands can stain the tile.

How Do I Restore Saltillo?

Saltillo is best restored by a professional company.  Most likely, aver they clean the saltillo, they will seal it with an impregnating sealer right after.  The cleaning will bring back the former color of the saltillo, and the sealing will preserve that color for years.  Why do you need professional saltillo restoration?  Well, what you don't know can hurt your saltillo.  For example, some harsh chemicals can crumble the saltillo and make it brittle, which leads to further erosion.  In addition, a great many cleaning solutions are dangerous in the hands of a novice.  A lot of people are injured by splashes from bleach and other chemicals, particularly in cases of eye contact.  

A professional saltillo tile cleaning service will also have access to the best saltillo sealing products around.  When your saltillo is sealed, it not only protects your floor from damage, it also protects it from stains.  The sealer penetrates the pores of the saltillo and gives it a high gloss shine.
