TILE CARE & MAINTENANCE

TILE CLEANING TIPS & MORE

While tile is extremely durable, it's not impervious. Proper care and maintenance are still needed to prolong the life of your flooring. Establish a routine that includes sweeping, dusting, and vacuuming. You'll also want to wet mop and address spills properly.

INVEST IN DOORMATS

Consider investing in doormats and placing them throughout your home to help keep your new tile clean.

USE FURNITURE PADS

Tile can scratch if you aren't careful, so you may want to place all furniture on protective pads first.

CLEAN REGULARLY

You should frequently sweep, dry mop, and wet mop your tile to keep it looking brand new.

TILE STAIN REMOVAL

For common household spills, immediately wipe away or mop clean. Tile and stone surfaces can get very slippery when wet, so it’s important to dry your flooring as soon as possible.

When cleaning, it’s important to avoid products that contain acids, vinegars, chlorine, and ammonia. Certain cleaning chemicals can actually damage or discolor the grout or surface of your flooring, so it’s important to use a manufacturer-approved cleaning solution.
