How to Maintain Your Tiles and Keep Them Looking as New....

 As you know flooring is one of the most important investments you make in your home. With daily care and preventative maintenance, it will extend the life of the flooring. The biggest challenge is typically not keeping the tiles themselves clean, but maintaining clean grout lines. Grout is a porous material which, over time, allows dirt to become trapped and almost impossible to clean with regular mopping and scrubbing. When it comes to cleaning solutions, the kind you should use depends on the type of tile floors you have. 

Tips to Maintain Your Tiles as New:-

• Mop the floor tiles once in a week.  For most floors, a solution of 1/4 cup of Castile soap and 2 gallons warm water will work. For marble floors, which can dull with the regular use of detergent, try a much diluted, mild solution of dishwashing soap and water. 
  
  
  
• Always get rid from harsh chemicals because they are harmful for your tiles. So always use a mixture of approximately one-third white vinegar to two-thirds water to clean grout and then use a soft scrub brush with a little elbow grease.
  
  
  
• If you want to make your tiles shiny and new then use paste of baking soda and water. After that rub the paste into the grout using an old toothbrush and rinse off.  If the stains are really bad, you can apply plain baking soda, add a bit of distilled white vinegar, and let the solution sit for an hour before you begin scrubbing. 
  
  
  
• If your floors should be covered with waxed floor then it is time to rewax it. At that time make cleaning solution by mixing 3/4 cup of ammonia with 1 cup of laundry detergent and 1 gallon of warm water.  Mop the floor with the solution; let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then clean with a scrubbing sponge or stiff scrub brush.

Ways to rejuvenate Dull Home Flooring by Tile Cleaning Services

You all know that Ceramic tiles are easy to clean and care but over a time that tiles should be dull instead of shine. As you know plain water won't clean the floors and make them shine. Water can actually damage the floor, depending on the finish. Making your nontoxic cleaners allows you to remove the grime that dulls the floor and condition the wood so it retains its lustre. With regular cleaning of tiles by using simple cleaning products it is very easy to keep clean and shiny. For special occasions, buffing the floor makes it extra shiny. Despite, ceramic tile does not require constant scrub cleaning to remain in good shape. 

But if you have hardwood flooring you will notice a number of things like dog hair, food particles and dust all show up quite easily. However, this can be a good thing as it means you know when it is time to clean and you can stay on top of the mess, dirt and allergens. You can relax knowing that, unlike carpets, the dirt has nowhere to hide.

 

Ways to make your Floor shiny:-

• The very simple and easy method is by using white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray a small area with the solution and use a microfiber dust mop on the damp area. Spray small areas at a time until the entire floor is shining. Once the tile is clean, it should only need light mopping every few days.
  
  
• Over a time your tiles need to be wax or other substance to make them shiny. It is helpful method when you conduct special occasions and a very shiny floor is necessary, use a floor buffer. In addition, use a microfiber buffing cloth on the machine and employ it slowly along the floor. Concentrate on small areas at a time so that every part of the floor is polished.
  
  
• Moisten a rag in plain white vinegar and rub the floor until the shine is restored. If this restores the shine, you'll just need to clean the floor properly. If the shine has worn down due to wear, you'll have to use a laminate floor shine restoration product.
