Routine Tile Care
Regular cleaning is essential to maintaining the beauty and longevity of your tile. Sweep or dust mop your tile surfaces regularly to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a damp mop with a mild, tile-safe cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the tile's surface.
- Use doormats: Place mats at all entrances to your home to catch dirt and debris before it gets tracked onto your tile floors.
- Remove shoes: Encourage people to remove their shoes before entering your home to minimize the amount of dirt and grit brought inside.
- Protect high-traffic areas: Use runners or area rugs in high-traffic areas to protect your tile floors from excessive wear and tear.
Tile Spills & Stains
Accidents happen. If you spill food or liquids on your tile, act quickly to prevent stains. Blot up excess liquid with a clean, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the tile. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area of the tile before applying it to the stain. For stubborn stains, consult your manufacturer's guide for recommended products and methods to avoid damage or voiding your warranty.
