Concrete tile absorbs water, which encourages dark growth and gradually wears its surface. Clay copes better but still stains and gathers algae in the shade.
Shingle treatment does nothing for either. Tile is best served by a careful clean, a breathable clear sealer that cuts how much water it takes on, and a check every so often to see when it needs resealing. Before any of that, broken or slipped pieces are pointed out, since sealing cannot fix them.

Clean, dry, seal, then check back later.

Tile sealing questions
Will sealed tile look glossy?
No. Expect a fresher, brighter tile with its usual matte look, not a wet sheen.
How often does tile need resealing?
That varies with sun and shade. Through a maintenance plan we keep an eye on it and reseal only once the tile calls for it.
