Tips to Clean Ceramic Floors
February 19th, 2010 | Author: admin
Ceramic floor tiles look great when they are sparkling clean so it pays to know just how to get them looking like new in just a short time.
Dirty floor tiles also harbor bugs and bacteria so if there is a little one crawling around the floor just imagine what is being picked up on those tiny hands and put straight into the mouth.
So let’s attack those tiles, but first let’s look at what are you using to mop the floors?
The best type of set up for floor mopping is the self-wringing bucket and mop.
I still find the ‘green cleaner’ of water and white distilled vinegar does a wonderful job.
Now if you do find that there are streaks it is time to look at your cleaning equipment. If not, does it need a good wash with some water and vinegar to get rid of old residue from commercial cleaners?
People blame the cleaning solution but don’t give enough attention to the actual cleaning tools and rags but they too need cleaning after housecleaning task so that the best results are obtained.
If you have old ingrained dirt in textured tiles then you will most likely have to use a nail brush to remove the dirt, but after that with regular cleans the tiles should stay in good condition.
If you cannot remove the stain try using some baking soda mixed with a little detergent (enough to form a paste) and rub it into the grout.
