I have about 65 years old flooring in large areas, and missing luster and shine. Do not want to wax. The tiles are mexican ceramic tiles, set into foundation. Any ideas? Thank you

Hello Anita,
Maybe you could Seal the tiles and floor with Liquid Acrylic Sealer?
not sure about the mexican tiles -- they are very very popular now -- if they are part of the FOUNDATION of your home, you run the risk of breaking them if you try to remove; what is the flooring? wood? vinyl/linoleum/composition tile? do you want to replace? depending on what material the flooring is made from will make a difference in what product you can use in place of 'wax' ....
I would reseal them.... https://www.tilecleaning.org/how-to-seal-saltillo-tiles.htm

Try a mop and glow product for general cleaning. For a more permanent shine, Try a tile sealer.
Try to do a bit more then general cleaning (which is done weekly) thinking about steam and some cover to bring back shine.
