  You’re in luck! Vinegar is not the best way to clean your tile. Bleach and ammonia-based products on one end of the ph scale or the dreaded vinegar on the other end could actually damage it.

  I assume it’s sealed since you mentioned it had a shine (versus that white coloring that usually shows for unsealed Saltillo.)

  Only use a ph neutral cleaner (some will call it a ‘true 7′) diluted with water, per instructions, on your clay tiles. There are tons of options out there and most neutral cleaners are by definition less harsh. I like the Mrs. Meyer’s stuff myself, but chose what’s right for you.

  If the shine isn’t what you remember, maybe think about resealing/refinishing it, which should be done periodically anyhow.

  They are nice looking tiles by the way!!
