Porcelain tile: polished or matte

For my house, I have polished in the powder room and matte in the main washroom.

It depends on what you mean by keep clean. Either looks clean or is clean.
The matte is easier to keep looking clean as it's harder to see the dirt. With polished, all the dirt and smudges show, so it's easier to keep clean, and has to be cleaned more often to look clean.

I prefer matte as I'm not too germophobic.

I prefer Matte. Easier to stay clean looking.

isn't polished slippery?

I didn't know there were matte floor tiles in home bathrooms. I would think it is easier to clean polished tiles, just like polished dishes. Imagine cleaning matte dishes. You r supposed to clean the bathroom floor on a daily basis, anyways.

I would have thought this as well.

But if they have polished for floors, I would say that polished makes it look more elegant, and matte is more down-to-earth... just do it to match the rest of the home.
