How to keep that floor looking new?           

Tile products may periodically require a little maintenance to keep that fresh out the box –showroom-shine.  Residue can accumulate over time that can dull the finish, but don’t worry follow these simple suggestions and we can avoid the buildup of residue, grease, dirt, dirt, grime, and other substances.

To keep a floor looking good, start with the basics. 

Vacuum or sweep the surface.

Use tile and grout cleaner, but read the manufactures instructions before applying to the floor you are cleaning

Apply some elbow grease (Hey that is a joke, we all know elbow grease is slippery :-) )-Work that dirt loose with a sponge or Mop that has been immersed in a bucket of your cleaning solution

Mop up the solution

Rinse mop and change out dirty contaminated cleaning solution about every 600Square feet.

Rinse floor thoroughly with clean water

Dry mop the floor, or use a soft dry towel, or a wet-vac to remove all moisture from the floor

Wipe with a soft towel again to ensure the floor is dry

Smooth tiles may require less effort coarse tile surfaces may require more frequent cleanings

If it’s needed re-apply sealants per manufactures instructions

For routine cleaning use any non-abrasive cleaning compound recommended for floor or glass tile.

NO NOT USE: green scrubbing pads, scouring pads, steel wool,  sandpaper, or any abrasive cleaning medium. Avoid cleaners that contain ammonia, bleach, or abrasives.

Scrubbing your booty is cool; scrubbing your floor is not (avoid abrasive products).
