Protect Your Tile for Lasting Beauty
Tile flooring, including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone, is known for its durability and style. Proper care keeps your floors, backsplashes, and walls looking their best and prevents damage over time. Following manufacturer guidelines ensures your tile and grout maintain their appearance and longevity.
Routine Tile Care
Regular sweeping or dust mopping removes grit that can scratch tile surfaces. For wet cleaning, use a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner made for tile. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners that can harm natural stone finishes or grout.
Maintain Your Tile with Simple Habits
Tile is a durable surface but benefits from routine care and prompt attention to spills or stains.
Clean spills promptly with a soft cloth or mop. This prevents staining and buildup, especially on grout lines and natural stone tiles that may be more porous.
Use manufacturer-recommended cleaners for tough stains. Avoid abrasive scrubbing tools that could scratch tile surfaces or damage grout.
Place mats at entryways to catch dirt and grit. Seal natural stone tiles and grout periodically to protect against moisture and stains. Use gentle cleaning tools to avoid wear.
Regularly inspect grout for cracks or damage and have it repaired to maintain a strong seal. Keeping your tile sealed and clean preserves its beauty and durability for years to come.
