Keeping your tile flooring clean and fresh
looking is quite simple. You just have to follow
these simple and smart tips.

• Cleaning the surface area

Depending on how many people are staying in your
house, you may need to sweep the floor a couple
of times per week. If you have kids or pets in
the house, you can vacuum or sweep the floor at
least once a day or as soon as you observe some
grit and sand in the flooring. It is important to
sweep away the grit and sand as they can scratch
the tile's surface and make it look dull.
Mop as often as needed
Mop the floor as often as needed. Instead of
using a sponge mop, opt for a chamois mop or rag.
Sponge mop tend to push the dirt into the grout
lines instead of absorbing it.

Make your own cleaning solution
For the cleaning solution, use the mixture of hot
water and mild detergent. Don't forget to change
your solution a few times during the cleaning
process to make sure that the mop is clean
enough. Using a dirty mop can make your sarana
tile look cloudy.
Dealing with tough stains and soapy residue
For tough stains, you can use the vinegar or
freshly squeezed lemon juice plus hot water
solution. You can also use an all-purpose
non-abrasive cleaner. Wet a clean cloth with the
solution and apply it directly to the floor using
your hand or foot. Then pat it dry afterwards
with the use of a lint-free cloth. This will also
work best for the soapy residue in your kitchen
or bathroom tiles Ottawa.

Keeping the grout clean
The secret to achieving a beautiful and fresh
looking tile flooring is to keep the grout clean.
The grout is so porous that it can easily absorb
dirt, stains and grease. No matter how you clean
the surface area of your flooring, if your grout
is dirty, you will still have a dingy-looking
floor.
Cleaning the grout is perhaps the most
challenging part of maintaining a tile flooring
most especially when you have mosaic tiles.
Although you can find a lot of commercial
cleaners in the supermarket, it is still better
to opt for a safer cleaning solution.

A paste made out of the mixture of water and
baking soda will do wonders for your dirty grout.
Simply prepare the paste and rub it directly on
the stain. You can leave it for 10 minutes or
more. If you are dealing with a tough stain, let
the paste sit on the stained area overnight.
Scrub the stain away using an old toothbrush or a
stiff nylon brush. Avoid using a metal brush for
this step as it can damage the grout. If needed,
reapply the baking soda paste and scrub the stain
again. Once the stains are all gone, cover the
grout with a silicon-base sealer. The sealer will
help repel dirt accumulation and stains in the
future. And that's it. Easy, right?
