Make Those Tiles Shine!
Many households have to learn how to properly clean tile floors, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom where tiles are used most regularly. Although it can seem simple to clean floors without streaks, doing so on tiled floors calls for a somewhat more specialized approach. With the help of a floor care service, here’s how to properly maintain floor tiles:
Dry Clean Your Tile
It’s a wonderful habit to get into to dry clean your floors roughly once a week. It’s beneficial for the tile as well as preventing grit and dirt from gathering and being tracked throughout the house. As you move around, accumulated particles may grind into the surface, harming the polish and diminishing the luster. Simple sweeping or vacuuming of the entire space is all that is required to dry clean a tile floor.
Spot Treat Stains
Stains are uncommon on tile since much of it is non-porous. Mopping may frequently release dried-on splatters, but occasionally a stain may prove more difficult to remove. If stains persist, use hot water and detergent followed by a dab of hydrogen peroxide to help them come out. Club soda can be used to remove grease stains, or a commercial cleaner if that’s what’s needed. Try allowing a cleaning solution to rest for a little while to help remove anything that has dried on.
Handle the Grout
Do not disregard your grout! Because grout is porous and collects dirt and oil, maintaining it clean may be challenging. You might need to use a toothbrush or tiny bristle brush together with a grout cleaner if your grout starts to seem particularly grimy. Additionally, you may create a homemade cleaning paste using hydrogen peroxide, mild soap, and baking soda. With a brush, apply the cleanser, then scrub the surfaces clean.
