How to clean tile floors
Give your tile floors the best treatment with routine maintenance and a good tile floor cleaner.
Tile floors are a great hard surface option because of their general low maintenance, durability and versatility. Like wood floors, tile floors need just a small amount of upkeep to keep them looking their best. Tile floors are also waterproof, making them a desired choice in kitchens and bathrooms.
Learning how to clean tile floors the right way will save you from future headaches since a good cleaning routine is the best protection for any floor. Here are some tips on how to clean tile floors.
Daily maintenance
Sweeping or dry-mopping your tile floors regularly helps protect them against dirt and debris particles. Even though tile floors are very durable, they can still be scratched. Scratches on tiles can make floors look dull. Spot cleaning spills and stains is especially important with tile floors, as they can make grout dirty. While most tiles are stain resistant, grout is very porous, and can be difficult to clean.
Weekly maintenance
Use an effective tile floor cleaner to clean the floors with a microfibre mop. This weekly clean with a tile floor cleaner helps to remove any build-up not removed by dry-mopping alone. Avoid using a traditional mop and bucket, as dirty mop water can get into the grout. Although there are many tile floor cleaners on the market, many need to be rinsed off before resuming traffic on your floor.
Monthly maintenance
Polish your tile floors to restore the protective finish and make them shine like new. Polishing is an easy process that doesn’t need any special tools. Floors should be polished every 1-4 months, depending on the amount of traffic.
