You have chosen matt surface tiles for your home – what’s next? Ceramic and porcelain tiles are renowned for their durability and low maintenance. With minimal effort, you can preserve their beauty and functionality for many years, even decades.
Here’s a brief guide on daily care for your matt surface tiles:
Clean up any loose dirt, sand, or other foreign materials by sweeping or vacuuming them.
If there are stubborn contaminants on the tile surface, start by identifying them, as various types may need specific cleaning techniques.
Make sure your detergent is free of hydrofluoric acid, household bleaches, or mosaic cleaners to prevent any damage to the tile surface.
Follow the detergent manufacturer’s instructions and recommended usage carefully.
Begin by testing the detergent on a small area to check if it affects the tiles or wears away the grout.
When cleaning a large area, consider breaking it down into smaller sections for a more manageable cleaning process.
If step 5 goes smoothly, move on to cleaning the floor using a mop or a scrubbing machine. Afterwards, rinse the floor with fresh water and dry it using a dry or wrung-out mop.
Replace the soiled cleaning solution when necessary and then proceed with repeating step 7.
Make sure to eliminate all detergent residue thoroughly to prevent it from forming a layer that can trap dirt.
In cases of stubborn contaminants, scrubbing with a nylon pad or bristle brush might be required.
