Hi @trentdi,
Thank you for your question on how to clean textured porcelain tiles.
As you would have read, porcelain is a very dense, non-porous material. Its low absorption rate means that sealers cannot penetrate the surface to provide any substantial benefit. Sealers are generally designed to fill the pores and create a protective barrier, but with porcelain, there's little to no pore space to fill.
I'd certainly start with pressure cleaning the tiles to see what does and doesn't come off. Porcelain is a very non-porous material, so I would be surprised if the staining penetrates deeply enough to require much more than a pressure clean. If you find stains appearing that need to be addressed, you could use Davco 1L Tile And Grout Cleaner or possibly Lithofin KF Vitra Clean 1 litre which is specifically formulated for use on porcelain and ceramic tiles and is offered by our friends at Beaumont Tiles.
