In maintaining the cleanliness of the floors and keeping them at a good pristine condition, two things should be kept in mind particularly, regular maintenance cleaning and cleaning them as soon as dirt or spill has fallen onto it.

Even with the different types of floor tiles, the above tips are the rule of thumb. This is because following this rule avoids further damage to the floor. Regular maintenance cleaning prevents germ build-up and further hardening of dirt on the floor making some costly cleaning chemicals unnecessary.

Same goes with wiping as dirt sticks on the floor. Is easier to remove the dirt and spills when they are still fresh and has not stuck on the floor. It is better to always have a dry cloth or wet or dry vacuum cleaner at hand anytime just in case the need arises.

Tiles

Cleaning tile floors is easy as you just have to wipe them regularly but for bathroom tiles, it is different as dirt can easily accumulate on the grout because of shampoo, water and soap residues. To clean this, you may use paper towels soaked in vinegar and apply them on the tiles and leave them for about 3 hours. Remove the towel and rinse well. Now repeat the same step using bleach to whiten the tiles. Afterwards, remove the towels also and rinse completely.

Marble and Ceramic

Warm water is all you need for marble tiles while for ceramic tiles, you can use a solution of water, ammonia and borax. With these ingredients, soak a micro-fiber mop wring well and then apply on the floor. A sponge mop is not advisable for ceramic tiles because it can bring dirt on the grout.

Make cleaning fun Cleaning tile floors can be fun and less tiring if you don't let your floor get too dirty to require more time, money and effort. Also, you can equate regular cleaning to regular exercise making it more enjoyable…
