Beautifully polished tiles can transform the aesthetics of any space, providing a clean and sophisticated look. While professional tile polishing services are essential for achieving that initial luster, maintaining the brilliance of your tiles between these sessions is equally important. Today, we at Silver State Floor Restoration would like to take the opportunity to discuss some some practical tips to ensure your tiles stay gleaming and well-maintained.

How Do You Take Care of Tile?

1) Regular Cleaning Routine: The foundation of sustaining tile brilliance is a consistent cleaning routine. Dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate over time, diminishing the shine of polished tiles. Sweeping or vacuuming the area regularly prevents abrasive particles from scratching the surface and maintains the polished finish.
2) Gentle Cleaning Products: Opt for mild and non-abrasive cleaning solutions to preserve the integrity of the tile polish. Harsh chemicals can erode the polish over time, leading to a dull appearance. A mixture of warm water and a mild pH-neutral cleaner is usually sufficient for routine cleaning.
3) Avoiding Abrasive Tools: Steer clear of abrasive cleaning tools such as steel wool or harsh scrub brushes. These can scratch the tile surface and compromise the polished finish. Instead, use soft microfiber cloths or sponges to wipe down the tiles gently.
4) Prompt Stain Removal: Accidents happen, and spills are inevitable. However, addressing stains promptly is crucial for maintaining the polished look of your tiles. Clean spills immediately using an absorbent cloth and the appropriate cleaning solution for the type of stain.
5) Protective Measures: Consider placing mats or rugs in high-traffic areas to minimize wear on polished tiles. This extra layer of protection can prevent scratches and preserve the shine. Additionally, use furniture pads under heavy pieces to avoid scratching the tile surface.
6) Appropriate Grout Maintenance: Grout plays a significant role in the overall appearance of tiled surfaces. Regularly clean and seal the grout lines to prevent discoloration and maintain a uniform polished look. Grout maintenance contributes significantly to the longevity of the tile polish.
7) Proper Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation in areas with polished tiles, especially in spaces like bathrooms and kitchens. Excess moisture can damage the polish over time. Good ventilation helps prevent the accumulation of moisture and preserves the polished finish.
8) Periodic Polishing Touch-Ups: While professional polishing services are typically done periodically, consider occasional touch-ups for high-traffic areas. This can rejuvenate the shine and extend the time between full professional polishing sessions.
