Tile CARE & MAINTENANCE

Daily Tile Cleaning

When it comes to keeping your tile floors radiant around the clock, the preventative measures you take will go a long way in aiding this goal! Start by using mats at all entranceways so guests can scrape their footwear before entering, thus preventing dirt, debris, mud, and gravel from reaching your tile floors. During inclement weather, place a shoe rack by the door and encourage guests to remove footwear completely before moving through the home. Keep all pets groomed regularly to reduce hair and dander in the home and keep all pet nails trimmed to avoid scratching the tile surface. These helpful steps will help prevent any blemishes to your tile flooring!

Dirt & Debris

It’s important to effectively remove dirt, debris, dust, and pet dander before these particles become abrasive and scratch the tile surface over time. Sweep with a gentle bristle broom or dust-mop your tile floors regularly or as frequently as possible. Although different tile visuals with distinctive markings can camouflage particles between cleanings, removing dirt and debris will help minimize the effects of daily life.

Spills & Stains

When spills do occur on your tile, there's no need to stress! Tile is a material that inherently resists moisture damage. Simply lift any solid material with a spoon and begin blotting the liquid spill with paper towels or a dry, clean cloth. Start blotting from the perimeter of the spill towards the center and use a gentle-tile specific cleaner to spot treat as needed. Clean any grout lines with a specific grout cleaner and grout brush. Wet-mop your tile floors when you want an efficient deep clean and ensure a dry surface afterward!
