My entire house is floored with tile and I am getting tired of cleaning it. I use a Craftsman shop-vac to pick up dust/debris then I mop with a regular mop. The results are for the most part mixed. My back is killing me by the time I finish vacuuming and then I still have to mp. My quaestion is this: if you have tile then how do you clean it? Please do not list sweeping as a method because it only picks up a small amount of the dirt on the floor. What I am looking for is things like what type of vacuum do you use to clean tile and then what you use to clean the tile.

My wife appreciates all you responses.

I just mop and wax my tile floors every once in a while (actually the cleaning lady does). It sounds like you are looking for it to be cleaner than I care for. If you have spots or something, Try CLR on them, that stuff cleans just about anything.
