Cleaning ceramic tile floor and keeping them spotless – can oftentimes seem just like an overwhelming job. Ceramic tile needs a lot of attention to prevent moisture damage and staining – and regular attention can even be required for higher-traffic areas. There are manifold methods to lessen the amount of work involved with maintaining and cleaning such tiling. With the proper techniques, you can keep your ceramic tiles clean for an extended time period. There are several effectual tile and grout cleaners available on the market; however, some of these could be quite costly and contain an assortment of such chemicals that aren’t eco-friendly. Well, here you get some simple methods for cleaning ceramic tiles without the wallet-sapping expense or noxious chemicals. Sweep and vacuum: Whether using natural or powerful cleaning solutions for the scrubbing process, ceramic tile floor should be swept and vacuumed regularly to prevent dust, grime, and grit from accumulating into the surface. Both vacuuming and sweeping are suggested. Be certain that vacuum has no beater bar just to avoid scratching or dulling the tiles. And if done daily and properly, vacuuming and sweeping are the easiest methods to keep your ceramic tile floors looking new.
Mopping: Right after the loose debris and dirt has been removed, the ceramic floor needs to be mopped in a proper way at least twice or thrice a week for moderate to low-trafficked areas. But high-trafficked areas need to be mopped regularly. Microfiber, cotton mops are suggested over sponge-mops as these push dirty water and grime into grout lines and cracks, making them hard to clean. It is good to use mop holder as it helps the mop to dry out completely. Now you can buy mop hanger, broom and mop storage from any offline or online store. For unglazed tiles, try to use hot water – and adding detergent while necessary. Keep in mind that anything harsher would hasten the degradation of the ceramic tile surface. For a cost-effective, eco-friendly odor eliminator, mix white vinegar along with water. This is a great idea while cleaning surfaces. In case you find that there is any filmy residue left after using detergent or soap, you can easily get rid of it with the help of a nonabrasive cleaner. Not only this, you can even use a mild acid like lemon juice but on glazed tile only. Acid should not be used on stone floors or unglazed ceramic floors. Changing the water while mopping is essential since the old water solution would make the tile floor appear cloudy only that can create a dirtier-looking tile than before. After mopping, the floor should be dried in a proper manner with a dry-mop in order to prevent water damage and mildew.
Floor mats: Keeping floor mats inside or outside the entry-ways, as well as the high-trafficked areas would help to capture loose debris and dirt before these get deposited and also tracked across the floor. Be certain to clean, as well as shake the floor mats out frequently to prevent buildup.
