Ceramic floor tile cleaning
Cleaning ceramic tile floors is relatively easy:
- Always vacuum or dust hard floor surfaces before
mopping.
- Clean ceramic tiles with warm water only.
Prevention becomes essential with these floor surfaces. Regularly apply
a sealant found in tile stores to slate, tile and also the ceramic tile
grout.
- Clean spills immediately.
Tips: Use mats to
protect ceramic floor tiles. Mats protect the tiles from dirt
and grit, sand and oil.
Add
protective pads to furniture to protect your ceramic tiles by affixing
felt or similar pads to the legs of any metal, iron, wood, or plastic
furniture. Do not use scouring powders or other
abrasives which can scratch the finish. Grout
cleaning Grouts are porous and so easily
absorb grease, dirt and lime scale. Drink or grease
spillages on the floor will cause marks and patches in the
joints in the floor. Grout between wall-tiles, particularly in damp
areas like bathrooms, will become dirty and unattractive as a result of
Mould, Mildew and Limescale. Yellow, orange and pink stains can
discolor the grout in bath or shower areas due to continued use of acid
formulated shampoos and soaps. To
clean the Grout: - If you
are cleaning the grout between ceramic floor tiles - many stains are on
the surface of the grout and can be removed with sandpaper. Just fold
the sandpaper into a crease, and work it back and forth along the grout
line. If sandpaper doesn't work, you may have better results by
applying a pencil eraser.
- For more stubborn stains
- spray on a commercial grout cleaner or a heavy-duty all-purpose
cleaning solution with bleach. Wait for several
minutes. (Longer if stains are stubborn). Do not use
bleach on colored grout.
- Scrub the grout with a
stiff scrub brush or a grout brush, then rinse thoroughly.
- Dry with a white towel or paper towels.
- To protect the grout use a grout sealer product.
- If bleach doesn't do the job, you may need to
remove and replace the grout. Use a grout-removal tool or a rotary tool
with a carbide tip. After you install new grout, seal it with a grout
sealer to reduce the likelihood of future stains setting in. Reapply
sealer once every two years.
Remember
to wear rubber gloves and keep the room well ventilated while
cleaning. Need help cleaning ceramic floor
