You,my friend, need an alkaline resistant primer followed by a good quality floor paint. Try to look at the Dulux website, you will get all the information there. Hope this helps.

The salty damp patches may be residue from the floor cleaner you use because these tiles are porous and with the best will in the world will absorb moisture.
If the tiles are laid on earth as they usually if the house is old then it might be coming from there but highly unlikely, as for sealing the tiles use linseed oil, you may need to treat twice and then once it's soaked in the residue can be wiped off and buffed with a dry cloth.

If there's damp coming up from the floor I think you need to lay a damp proof layer underneath and screed over, then re-lay the treated tiles.
You'd have to soak the tiles then scrub them. I don't know what you'd treat them with, the only things I know are for outdoor use only.
