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.
