Although glazed ceramic
tile requires less floor care than most of the other flooring types, there
are things you need to do to maintain the beauty of the ceramic tile floor.
Wash Regularly
Wash the floor regularly
to remove any dirt or grit. Use a mild, diluted detergent solution, such
as Mr. Clean or Spic & Span. If in doubt, call us to get the tile manufacturer's
cleaning recommendations.
Vacuum Regularly
Sweep, or vacuum your glazed
tile regularly.
Avoid Ammonia-based Cleaners
Ammonia-based cleaners may
discolor some types of colored grout.
Always Rinse
After
washing with a mild detergent you should thoroughly rinse the floor with
clean, warm water.
Never Wax a Tile
The glazed ceramic finish
should never be waxed.
Wipe Spills Immediately
If some liquid gets spilled
on the floor you may use an all-purpose cleaner like Fantastic, or Top
Job to clean up the affected area. This will help the grout joints from
becoming discolored from spills (Non-epoxy grout joints should be treated
with a silicone sealer twice a year to ensure stain protection.)
