Cleaning Your Tiles

The key to cleaning your wall and floor tiles is making sure dirt and spills do not have a chance to get comfortable.

This is easy enough to do with a mop or cloth, hot water, and a mild household detergent (be sure to do a spot test with any detergent before use).

Regular Maintenance

Regular maintenance is important as well. The easiest and most effective step you can take is to regularly sweep, vacuum, and damp mop your bathroom, entryway, or kitchen surfaces, as these areas are commonly exposed to all kinds of bacteria.

A quick sweep or vacuum removes dirt and debris before it can become settled on the surface. Mopping with warm water and using a manufacturer-recommended cleaning product also enhances your tiles gloss, shine and colour.
