Preserving the Beauty of Your Tile
Regular care is essential for maintaining the attractive appearance and long-lasting durability of your tile floors. Consistent light cleaning helps to remove everyday dirt, dust, and spills from both the tile surface and the grout lines. By following a few simple maintenance steps, you can ensure your tile floors continue to look clean and enhance the beauty of your home for years to come.
Easy Steps to Keep Your Tile Looking Great
- Sweep or Vacuum Regularly: Use a soft broom, dust mop, or vacuum with a soft brush attachment to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris.
- Use Entryway Mats: Place mats at all entrances to trap dirt and moisture from shoes before they reach your tile floors.
- Mop Regularly: Use a damp mop with a pH-neutral tile and grout cleaner to remove surface dirt and spills.
- Protect Against Heavy Furniture: Use furniture pads under heavy items to prevent scratches, especially on polished tiles.
Quick and Effective Cleanup for Tile

- Identify the Spill: Knowing the type of spill can help determine the best cleaning approach, especially for grout stains.
- Use Recommended Cleaners: Use cleaners specifically designed for tile and grout.
