Installing Self-Stick Tiles Over Ceramic Tiles

I have white ceramic tiles in my kitchen and I can't keep this floor clean, because it has an outside door. Any ideas for covering up the floor? Would sticky back floor tile work? Any other ideas?

I don't think you should try to cover up this flooring. I think a good large mat outside the door, and another inside should catch the dirt. In my home, I have large mats in front of the doors, inside and out, and having sidewalks helps a lot too. And everyone takes off their outside shoes in this house, unless they are wearing something very fancy, that wouldn't be dirty anyway.

This would be a whole lot cheaper than replacing the flooring. And a lot less work. (04/07/2009)

I had the same problem and I put self-stick vinyl tile over my light colored ceramic tile floor just over a year ago, with no problems. It is much easier to care for and I now have a color I like. (04/08/2009)

I have white ceramic tile on my kitchen floor and love it. The floor does get dirty quickly, however, it is the easiest floor to clean. I just sweep and then use a wet Swiffer or if there's no grease, even water works great. (04/09/2009)
