Are Zellige tiles easy to clean?

Cleaning Zellige tiles is a little different than other tiles. We can wash other tiles as easily as we want. However, zellige tiles are a little troublesome to maintain as well as to make.

Zellige tiles usually need to be rubbed with a special sponge. If care is not taken, a protective varnish layer wears off over time, which takes the tile away from its natural appearance and gradually begins to degrade the tile itself. And If you use unglazed zellige tile, you will need to seal it routinely.
