How do I clean my slate tiled floor cheaply?

Asked by Stinley (11525points) January 3rd, 2012

The floor in my kitchen was laid by the previous owner. The floor is natural slate tiles. Very posh but it’s all stained with paint, dirt, and other unidentifiables. I’ve washed it plenty but it never comes clean. I can’t afford anything expensive but I do have time. The other day I spilled some hot cooking oil on a few tiles but strangely after i cleaned them up, they looked good as new. Would it be daft to clean the whole floor with oil? A fire and/or slip hazard? Any sensible suggestions?
