Tile floors in Entegra Coaches
Can anyone tell me what they use to clean the tile floors in their Entegras? All I've been using so far is the dry cloth Swiffer pads followed by the wet pads, but it leaves the floors streaky.. These floors are so beautiful that I'm impulsively trying to keep them that way. Our last coach (Damon Tuscany) nothing stood out on the tiles, but with these new shiny floors everything shows.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

We use a product called Bona Stone, Tile and Laminate Floor Cleaner. We also use their applicator. We vacuum the floor then use the Bona dust mop pad to get anything we missed. Then we clean a couple of rows of tile and dry it with a terry cloth towel. Then repeat on another section and so on. When we are done, the floor shines like it did on the day we bought our coach. It takes about an hour but the results are worth it. No streaks.

I used the same thing after our one trip. It worked so well I bought the Shark spray mop with the green bottle tile cleaner to keep on the MH, but I have not used it yet.

I feel like a slug. I live in mine half-time, so clean it frequently.
Vacuum the floors then 1 pass with a Swiffer wet jet and I'm done. 10 minutes.

Bob, the DW said the stiffer wet jet is ok, but it leaves streaks and haze, thats why she went to the Shark. Noel

Use a regular swing mop and Lysol. Afterwards go over with a 10 inch buffer with a microfiber bonnet. We tried the Swiffer wet thing for a while and all it did left streaks and didn't actually clean the floor.

Our new to us Magna manual says to use vinegar and water on the tile floor.

Hum...that flooring sounds like a pita (pain in the ass)! Maybe I'm just a redneck, but if I have to get on my hands and knees to polish my floor, invite me out!

It does look good when it is clean and shiny but have to agree with Tim. We use a wet mop and RO water.

It's not hard to Take care of if you do as above. Use distilled water with steam mop. You can add a little vinegar once in a while. DW uses Shark steam mop.

Same here. We have an Oreck steam mop and works great.
