While you can get away with very little maintenance with tile flooring, it isn’t something that you can ignore all together. With some basic maintenance, you will find that you can enjoy your tile floor much more.
– Tile Cleaners: Make sure you’re using the right cleaners on your tile flooring. You may think that tile floors are nearly indestructible, but they still can sustain damage if you aren’t careful. This is especially true if you happen to have any natural stone tile flooring. You need to be careful to avoid any cleaners that have a high acidity to them. The acid in certain cleaners can leave etching that will be something that is permanent.
– Sweep Tile Often: You don’t want to experience scratching on your tile flooring. The best way to avoid this is with regular sweeping. If you are vacuuming your tile flooring, make sure that the beater bars are turned off and there is only suction so that you don’t damage your tile.
– Rugs & Mats: You should always have rugs or mats at the entryways of your home. The debris that is often found on the bottom of shoes can be harmful to your flooring. Make sure that your rugs and mats are a decent size so that the first couple steps will be taken on the mat.

The grout on your tile flooring is especially porous and can soak up any spills that happen quite quickly. Natural stone like traveler one can also be porous and susceptible to staining if you aren’t cleaning up spills right away.
– Dry Tile After Mopping: One way to keep your tile flooring cleaner for longer after mopping is to follow up your mopping with a quick towel dry. This can help eliminate any dirt that will more easily settle on the surface of your floor if it is wet.
