I accidently stripped sealant off ceramic tiles on my screened lanai floor. Now the tiles frequently seem to "sweat" or have a layer of water on them. What can I use to seal them again and where can I buy the products?

Hi Angie, Welcome! :)
Can you post a picture?
What type of tile is it? Do they darken when wet?
How did you accidently remove the sealer? The more details we have will help us to solve your problems.

Hi, sorry it took me so long to get back, I'm still new to forums in general:)
Here is a picture of the type of tile. I think I used ammonia or bleach on them, my bad! It seems to happen when its particularly humid outside (this is Florida) and it didn't seem to do it before. I read somewhere to put a plastic tarp over the tile to see if the water appears on top of the tarp or under it to see if its condensing from the air or seeping up from underneath. I havn't tried it yet. Also, the tile gets very wet and seems to be evenly covered with a thin layer of water. Anyway, I'm hoping some kind of treatment can make it less vulnerable to condensation if thats what it is. They don't seem to darken when wet.
Thank You So Much!
