My Mexican tile floor turns a cloudy white whenever I spill water on it. What’s causing this, and can it be fixed?

This cloudy-white condition is common on tiles that have been coated with an acrylic wax. Consider having the floor stripped and re-coated with a good-quality Mexican tile sealer.

TIP Mexican tile is a clay product and is extremely soft and very sensitive to chemicals. If there is a painted finish on the tile, there is a chance you will remove it when using caustic chemicals. Always test a small area first.
