How to clean porcelain tiles?

DH and I have just about finished our new bathroom.
DH has done all the tiling himself with me doing the grouting.
We chose Porcelain tiles with a mosaic type travertine border.
Most of the product I have looked at say they are not suitable for this type of tile.
Can anyone reccomend something that will work?
I have microfibre cloths which I know will buff them up somewhat but I want to find out if there is any product to help
Not sure if Stardrops will be right for them either? I looked at Detol antibac but this says it's not suitable.
Any ideas?

It's nice to be nutty but's more important to be nice

Hi there,
We've not long put some new porcelain tiles in our bathroom and I'm now wondering what the best product to clean them with is. I want to make sure they are not damaged in any way by the product, so I'm not sure what to use. They haven't been treated with sealant.
If anyone had advice I'd be grateful.0 -
I have porcelain tiles and I just use a mop and water to clean mine.To my knowledge they dont need sealing as they arent porous
