Daily care is important
Time, traffic, and daily life can take a toll on tile, but cleaning can be simple with a little know-how. This guide will help you care for your existing tile and help you choose the best products to match your lifestyle.
Tile Maintenance Guide
BASIC CARE
Start designing your tile care routine around these basic care tips:
- Sweep your ceramic tile gently and never use a vacuum beater bar
- Avoid steel wool, scouring pads, bleach, and ammonia when cleaning
- Prevent dirt from entering your home by using entryway mats
Mopping
Tile's waterproof surface can be mopped easily:
- Damp-mop using manufacturer-recommended cleaning solutions
- For tougher spot cleaning, you can use a soft sponge or cloth
- Rinse detergent away thoroughly to give your tile a nice clean shine
Grouting & Sealing
Grout should not be overlooked, and requires different considerations than the tile itself:
- Vacuum attachments such as brushes and small nozzles can help pick up dirt in grout crevices
- Don't let spills sit too long, as this can cause grout stains
- Your grout will need occasional resealing – follow the instructions on your product's packaging
