Simple Tile Cleaning Techniques

The kitchen and bathroom often have tile flooring. Tile flooring is durable, offers strong longevity, and should be easy to clean. These tiles see a lot of traffic, dirt, dust, and crumbs. When it comes to the kitchen, dirt and crumbs can multiply quickly. You should make an effort to try to sweep the floor everyday. This will reduce the debris on your floor and make it easier to clean. Sweeping before mopping is also a beneficial habit to get into.

Once you have swept the tiles, mop the floor with warm water. If the floor is stain free and does not need extensive cleaning, mopping with warm water should do the trick. Clean the floor in segments and try not to step where you’ve mopped to prevent footprint marks. If your floor does have stains or marks you may have to apply a cleaning agent to scrub away food and drink stains. When a stain does occur, clean it as soon as possible. The longer you leave the stain, the harder it will be to clean when you get around to dealing with it. Clean messy spills with a disinfectant spray. For instance if your cat or dog has an accident, use a disinfectant spray to eliminate bacteria and to prevent a long lasting stain.

Finally once you have mopped and spot cleaned, you can dry the floor using a dry mop to deter dirt from attaching to the wet floor.
