Tile Care & Maintenance
Even in an active home with teens, little kids, and playful pets, the right tile care routine can help you maintain a pristine appearance.
Preventative Tile Care
To keep your tile floors shining, effective sweeping or dust-mopping is the key to regular care! Dusting or sweeping with a soft bristle broom will remove debris, dirt, and pet dander off of the tile surface before these particles can dull and wear down the appearance. To reduce the presence of abrasive particles, use mats at entranceways, remove footwear by the door during bad weather, and keep all pet nails trimmed appropriately.
Treating Spills On Tile
There’s no need to stress over spills on your tile, as these floors are inherently resistant to moisture damage. Start by gently lifting any solid material from the spill, then begin blotting the spill with a dry white cloth or paper towels. Blot from the perimeter of the spill towards the center, then use a gentle tile-specific cleaner to spot treat as needed. You will need to use grout-specific cleaner and a grout brush to clean these lines effectively. Then, wet-mop or use a Swiffer WetJet system to deep clean the floor.
