Everyday Care for Lasting Beauty
Simple Steps to Keep Your Tile Looking Great
Taking a few simple steps regularly will help keep your tile floors looking their best for years to come and prevent buildup on both the tiles and the grout. Routine care helps maintain their clean and stylish appearance. The most important part of keeping your tile fresh is regular sweeping or dust mopping. Aim to sweep or use a microfiber dust mop on high-traffic areas a few times a week and other areas at least once a week to remove loose dirt and debris.
Tips for Maintaining Your Tile
Handling Spills, Stains, and Keeping Your Floors Pristine
Tile is durable, but spills should still be addressed promptly to prevent staining, especially on the grout. Wipe up any spills with a clean, damp cloth as soon as they happen.
- Use Doormats and Rugs: Placing mats at entryways and rugs in high-traffic zones helps reduce the amount of dirt and debris tracked onto your tile floors, minimizing wear.
- Regular Mopping: Mop your tile floors regularly with a pH-neutral cleaner designed for tile.
- Grout Care: Pay attention to the grout lines, as they can accumulate dirt and mildew. Clean grout with a grout brush and a specialized grout cleaner as needed.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the tile or grout.
- Follow Manufacturer's Instructions: Always refer to the specific care guidelines provided by the tile manufacturer for the best cleaning methods and products for your particular tile.
