    Peter Yusuf - October 21, 2024

    Tiles are a one time investment for most of us. Once we lay our tiles, chances are we won’t be replacing them for a long period. However, tiles might slowly show wear and tear with time and daily dust, grime or foot traffic. To preserve the beauty of our tiles and keep them looking like new for decades, regular maintenance can be a game changer.

    This blog looks at tile maintenance tips for Porcelain tiles so that your tiles don’t lose their charm even after years.

    It is well known fact that Porcelain tiles are one of the low maintenance tiles that require very little upkeep. However, that doesn’t mean we completely let these tiles be on their own. With these tips, you can maintain the integrity and visual appeal of your tiles in the best possible manner.

    Tile Maintenance Tips: Dos

    • Get rid of any dirt or dust as your first cleaning step.

    • Clean regularly with water and/or a neutral PH cleaner.

    • A soft bristle broom and microfiber mop or cloth are gentle tools to get rid of dust and dirt without scratching the tile.

    • Dry your Porcelains thoroughly after each cleaning procedure.
    • Choose products that are compatible with your grout.

    • Attach felt or rubber pads under furniture legs to prevent possible scratches or damage.

    • Use pressure washers in the lowest setting and with extreme caution. Test in a small area before using the washer in the entire surface.

    Tile Maintenance Tips: Don’ts

    • Avoid using liquids that are high in acid, alkaline, ammonia, bleach, dye or colour.

    • Don’t use scouring pads or wool pads to clean the tiles. You can use a nylon or plastic scrubber instead.

    • Don’t use corrosive chemicals to clean as they can erode the surface of the tile.

    • Oil or wax based cleansers can leave a residue on the tile surface, attracting dirt and making the tiles more slippery.
