Do not use vinegar and water a technique often promoted by tile setters after a tile installation and grouting. The vinegar will remove the leftover grout haze but continued use of vinegar, an acid, is harmful to tile and grout. The acid will eat right through the grout. You are correct to avoid vinegar, Fabuloso, and any other acidic or harsh chemical cleaners on Mexican tile floors, as they can damage the finish and even the tile itself. These tiles, especially when unglazed, are often made of porous clay that can be corroded by acidic substances, leading to discoloration and permanent damage. Instead, use a pH-neutral cleaner, or a mild soap and water solution, and avoid abrasive materials and excess water.
