Tile Cleaning Tips
Hi
Tile cleaning may not be anyone's idea of a good time, but there are some easy ways to make sure that your tile and grout stay in top shape. Some of these steps require minimal effort and will preserve the life of your tile flooring substantially. You would be surprised at how much a little effort can go a long way.
*Sweeping or dry mopping your tile floor frequently throughout the week will prevent abrasive dirt from wearing not only the surface of your tiles, but the grout as well.
*Grout is an incredibly porous material, and will soak up spills easily. Therefore, it is very important that you wipe up any spills immediately.
*For this reason, it is also a good idea to put a rug or mat at entrances and any high-traffic areas. Especially in winter months, when snow and melting salts are tracked into the house. This way, water damage will be avoided and the harsh salts will not damage the finish of your tile.
*Our shoes can act like "sandpaper" when we have rough dirt or sand on the bottom, so enforcing a "no shoes" rule on the tile is a good way to avoid scratches or wear.
*Because this type of flooring is so popular in bathrooms and kitchens, cleaning tile of water and mildew will prevent mold from growing. This is a much safer option for your family and loved ones.
