For regular cleaning of tomettes, nothing beats savon noir à l’huile de lin. There’s no trade name in particular, several brands make it. It’s sold in several supermarkets. All you need to do is wash the tomettes with the savon noir à l’huile de lin, then scrub any particularly dirty spots while nice and wet.

You might (probably) need to wax your tomettes, which should be done once or twice a year. The brand Starwax makes a good wax specifically for tomettes. (They make several other tomette-specific products too, but you likely don’t need to worry about anything more than the wax.)

Hi
I have similar tomettes in the attic space of my house down here in the South of France, and I would like to clean them up. I wonder if you could let me have the trade name of the product you used, so that I know exactly what to purchase to get them looking spic and span.

Your tomettes look fantastic by the way!

Nice floor, and a lot of work. We have two large buildings here and it is never done.

Hi Anna – good to see your blog is up and running again. Grey looks so much healthier and I’m mightily impressed with your tomettes work. You must have extraordinary patience!
