Ceramic Tile Care
Although
glazed ceramic tile requires less floor care than most of the
other flooring types, there are things you need to do to maintain
the beauty of the ceramic tile floor.
-
Wash Regularly -
Wash the floor regularly to remove any dirt or grit. Use
a mild, diluted detergent solution, such as Mr. Clean or
Spic & Span. If in doubt, call us to get the tile manufacturer's
cleaning recommendations.
-
Vacuum
Regularly - Sweep, or vacuum your glazed tile regularly.
-
Avoid
Ammonia-based Cleaners - ammonia-based cleaners may
discolor some types of colored grout.
-
Always
Rinse - After washing with a mild detergent you should
thoroughly rinse the floor with clean, warm water.
-
Never
Wax a Tile - The glazed ceramic finish should never
be waxed.
-
Wipe Spills
Immediately - If some liquid gets spilled on the
floor you may use an all-purpose cleaner like Fantastic,
or Top Job to clean up the affected area. This will help
the grout joints from becoming discolored from spills
(Non-epoxy grout joints should be treated with a silicone
sealer twice a year to ensure stain protection.)
