Clean Your Tile Floors the Right Way

Floors come in a myriad of choices, but tile floors are a popular choice amongst all. Unlike wood floors, tile floors are durable, water resistant, easy to install, and available in an array of styles. Most importantly, they don’t need near as much maintenance as carpets and wood floors do. However, if you want your tile floors to shine and look new for years to come, you should know the right technique of cleaning them. Here are the best methods from Tile and Grout Cleaning Suffolk, Nassau to clean tile floors whether they are ceramic, vinyl, or stone.

Clean the floor regularly

Don’t wait until the floor gets extremely dirty, as you obviously want to avoid the usage of strong chemicals that will degrade your tiles in the long run. Plus, who wants to spend long hours kneeling on the floor and scrubbing stubborn stains? To prevent such problems, you should learn how to clean tile floors more frequently. Cleaning floors daily sounds tiresome, but it isn’t as difficult as you think. You simply have to follow these simple steps.

• Sweep the floors daily

Sweep and mop your tile floors regularly. Vacuum, whenever you can, to remove dirt and loose dust. Make sure you don’t use a straw broom for dusting or mopping, as it can scratch your tiles.

• Mop with warm water

Mopping the floor with lukewarm water at least once a week will help your floor stay nice and shiny. If you are planning to hire a cleaning professional to take care of your tile floors, make sure the cost is affordable. Consult four to five experts to find out the cleaning cost in your area.

• Dry the floor

Dry the floor after damp mopping to avoid new dust quickly setting in wet areas and becoming hard to remove later. Switch on the fan to quick dry the area.

• Wipe up spills

Wipe sudden and accidental spills with a clean white cloth and blot the area dry. For dirtier spills, like pet accidents or dropped raw meat, clean them with an effective cleaner. Since a powerful cleaner may make your tiles look dull, try spraying only on the specific area where the spill has occurred.

• Place a doormat

Put a doormat outside and inside of your home to eliminate the dirt that may creep into the house from outside. This is especially important when it is rainy or snowy.

Apply cleaning solutions

Does your tile floor look nasty no matter how often you vacuum or mop it? Opt for a stronger cleaning agent. That cleaning solution will definitely help you remove the greasy residue and stubborn stains.

• Vinegar solution

Add half a cup of water to one teaspoon of vinegar and mix thoroughly. The acidity present in vinegar acts as a natural grease remover, which makes the approach comparatively easier. If you can’t find vinegar, use alcohol.

• Dish detergent solution

Add one cup of water to one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent. Scrub the area gently but thoroughly and rinse with warm water. Mop the floor with water to remove set-in stains.

Don’t think twice before calling the professionals Tile and Grout Cleaning Suffolk, Nassau for deep cleaning your tile and grout to make them look new again.
