Protective covering for Marley type kitchen tiles

We have these old tiles on our kitchen floor. I want to give them a good scrub and protective covering but the the old Klear product no longer seems to be available in its original form.
Can anybody recommend a good alternative please?

    What exactly are you hoping to protect the tiles from?


    There are products on the market for 'protectng' LVT, like Karndean, but I've never been convinced they do much good. After a time one is supposed to apply some sort of stripper and take the coating off when it becomes too thick, then re-apply. However, I've done none of these things and my flooring world hasn't come to an end! I don't think my MiL has either and her Amtico is over 20 years old. Still looks fine.

    Really just want to protect them from general scuffin, mud tramped in from the garden and the occasional stubborn food stains from cooking (ie blackcurrants, beetroot) which splash down on them.
    They're a light cream colour so show up more dirt than other colours.
  • Lakeland do a product pretty similar to Klear, called Quick Shine Floor Finish
