We moved into our flat a few months ago. The kitchen floor has fairly cheap ceramic tiles which have a printed black finish and rough surface - kind of 'fake slate' thing.
The colour on the tiles seems to be rubbing off on our feet / socks. If you spend some time in there with white socks on the soles end up black.
The floor is cleaned once a week so I don't think it's dirt! We've tried a few different cleaning products including those for ceramic tiles but nothing seems to have had an effect.
Is this something that can happen with cheap tiles? Is there a product we can use to seal the colour or similar? Since we've only just moved we're not yet in a position to retile the floor, although the plan is longer term to do that, so wondered if there's an interim thing just to save the socks.
