ANSWER

ANSWER - I would have to guess that the reason you are getting dusty foot prints on your Saltillo tiles is because either it doesn't have a sealer on it or the sealer you have on it is a bit tacky.

If your Saltillo tiles are not sealed, as evident by putting a quarter size dot of water on it and it absorbs immediately, then go to our website at www.CTaSC.com to Expert Answers to find Resources and click on Cleaners and Sealers for a list of manufacturers with links to their website.

Saltillo tiles are very absorbing clay body tiles, so you need to use a sealer that is recommended for that type of high absorbing product.  Sealing the tile will help make it more stain resistant, it will keep it from getting as dirty as frequently, and it will help make it easier to clean.

If you do have a sealer on the Saltillo tile, as evident by putting a quarter size dot of water on it and it doesn't readily absorb, then you may need to strip the older sealer off and apply a new sealer.  Good Luck.
