• Tiling: Tile is non-porous, which makes it easy to clean, but the grout between tiles is not stain-proof. To clean grout, apply a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, or a special pH-balanced solution, to the area and scrub with a brush. If you don’t feel like doing the dirty work, and are in the market for a new floor, the experts at Hawaii Flooring Specialists will place your new tile floor with the utmost care.

• Carpeting: Carpet absorbs liquid easily, so it is important to blot a spill as soon as it occurs. After, use seltzer or club soda to reduce the stain. Continue placing pressure on the stain with a dry towel. If the stain still won’t come out, opt for carpet replacement from Hawaii Flooring Specialists.
