Ceramic tile is a low-maintenance flooring that can increase the aesthetic value of your business. However, it does require some specific care. To prolong the life of your floor and your investment in tile restoration, follow these best practices.

Do:

Clean ceramic tiles often.

Ceramic tile floors are easy to clean with water and mild soap. Sweep or vacuum the floor once a week to remove excess debris before mopping, which will keep it looking brand-new. Use an old-fashioned string-mop or a microfiber flat mop to clean your tiles without pushing dirt into the grout lining. If you’re using a string-mop, be sure to change your mop bucket water frequently.

Rinse and dry the floor after cleaning.

After a thorough cleaning, rinse the entire floor using clean water. Change out the water once it gets dirty to avoid leaving residue. Ceramic tile floors are not immune to mold growth without proper waterproofing, so dry them completely or you’ll need tile restoration sooner than you’d like.

Don’t:

Use cleaners with harsh chemicals.

Cleaning products with acid, vinegar, and ammonia will do your tiles more harm than good. If water isn’t enough, choose a gentle cleaner that won’t tarnish the grout between your tiles or use mild dish soap.

Let furniture scratch your tiles.

Tables and chairs can leave deep abrasions on your ceramic tile if you’re not careful. Protect your floors by attaching protection pads made from felt or a similarly soft material to the legs of your furniture, so you can avoid scuffs when you push them around.
