Daily Care

It’s Important

Regular care for your tile floors includes vacuuming and wet mopping on a weekly basis. You should also invest in doormats at all entryways to collect dirt before it tracks into your home. Placing floor protectors under your furniture will prevent scratches and scrapes from marring your floors. Area rugs can improve that protection and also reduce normal wear and tear in high-traffic areas.

Life Happens

General Tile Care

Liquids

Tile floors are slippery when wet, so clean up any spills as quickly as possible, then dry them. Avoid cleaning products with acids and vinegar, as these can dull your tile’s appearance.

Grout

Hot water mixed with half a cup of baking soda and a towel should be sufficient for cleaning most grout stains. You may have to scrub harder to get deeper stains out, but regular cleanings will prevent buildup.

Bonus Tips

Bathrooms are especially prone to the buildup of soap scum and hard water film, so remember to frequently squeegee your bathroom tiles to prevent the growth of mildew and mold.
