Routine Tile Care
Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove dust, dirt, and grit, which can damage your tiles. Mop your tile floors regularly with a mild, pH-neutral cleaner and warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. Regularly clean grout lines with a grout brush and a grout cleaner to prevent discoloration and mold growth.
Spills & Stains
- Act quickly: Blot up any spills immediately with a clean, absorbent cloth.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or acidic cleaners on natural stone tile.
- Test cleaning solutions: If using a cleaning solution, always test it in an inconspicuous area first.
Additional Care Considerations
- Use floor mats: Place floor mats at all entrances to trap dirt and moisture before it reaches your tile floors.
- Protect from scratches: Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
- Regular sealing: If you have natural stone, seal it regularly to protect it from stains and moisture.
