Keeping Your Tile Surfaces Flawless

Maintaining the enduring beauty of your tile floors and surfaces is straightforward with consistent routine care. Regular sweeping or vacuuming (using a hard floor attachment) will effectively remove loose dirt, dust, and debris. For a deeper clean, routine mopping with a manufacturer-recommended cleaner is highly effective at removing grime and keeping your tile and grout sparkling. Always ensure to consult and follow the manufacturer's specific guidelines for cleaning and maintenance to ensure optimal results and avoid voiding your warranty or damaging your beautiful tile.

Preventative Measures

Proactive steps can significantly protect your tile from everyday wear and tear. Place walk-off mats at all entryways to trap dirt and moisture, reducing the amount of grit tracked onto your surfaces. Use felt pads or glides under all furniture legs to prevent scratches. For tiled countertops, consider using cutting boards and coasters to protect against scratches and stains, preserving their polished appearance.

Spills & Stains

Prompt attention to spills is crucial for tile surfaces. Immediately wipe up any liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth to prevent them from setting or seeping into grout lines. For more stubborn spots or dried messes, use a tile and grout cleaner specifically formulated for your tile type, applying it directly or with a clean cloth as per instructions. Always avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh acids, or oil-based cleaners, as these can damage grout or the tile's finish.
