Do Your Daily Due Diligence

Daily living can wreak havoc on your floors. From dirty pet paws to coffee cup overflow, it’s inevitable there’ll be messes needing clean up in every room from the entry to the back door. To keep your tile floor looking spiffy and safe from damage, you must keep it free from dirt and grime as it happens.

A mild soap and water mixture work well when using a damp cloth to clean up spills and light dirt. To avoid damage from pet claws, be sure to keep your pet’s nails clipped as well.

Vacuum or Dust Mop Regularly

Be proactive in keeping your tile protected from abrasive particles, including dust, debris, and sand, by committing to a weekly vacuuming or dust mopping schedule. Most vacuums come with a hard floor setting, although dust mopping can be easier on your floors. Try to avoid using a stiff broom on the tile as it can scratch and mar it.

Seal that Grout

While maintaining works wonders after installation, it is imperative that you proactively seal your grout before use. Don’t focus your attention entirely on your tile, that grout needs sealing to keep it from deteriorating.

Grout and tile sealant isn’t permanent and will need to be reapplied every few months, especially in high traffic areas where grout wear and tear are most prevalent. Tile and grout will need to be deep cleaned and completely dry before sealing. We at It’s All Clean San Diego, can help you with that!
