What You Should Know When Cleaning Ceramic Tiles

By Tina Myers


In houses, there are numerous types of tiles, and therefore different tile surfaces. The most common are ceramic tiles, which can be difficult to clean because their surface is prone to scratches. But there are a number of tips you can try to successfuly clean an area covered in ceramic tiles.

When it comes to cleaning ceramic tiles, you can start with a low-grade soap-and-water solution to clear loose dirt and fresher grease. Bleach, it should be pointed out, is NOT suitable for non-white tiles. For the bulk of the job, is best to use a high-grade bathroom chlorine and ammonia cleaner. If you are working in a confined space, it is best to open up a window or door to allow sufficient ventilation, as some cleaning products can give off an extremely toxic odour. One other technique is to undertake the cleaning in short bursts, and take a break (go for a walk around or catch your breath) after an extended period of intensive cleaning.

Make use of a sturdy sponge for most of the job.. Scourers will cause scratches. Tile grout builds up easily between tiles, but to clean it you can purchase a specialist tool that is the right shape for wiping between the tiles and swiftly removing any grime.Look online or speak to experts at home hardware stores and tile manufacturers to find out where you can obtain it, and whether it's suitable for the tiles you have.

If the surface happens to be quite dirty, it's advised you spray it with the product and then leave it for a few minutes.. This allows it to really penetrate and do its job, so you get a better result. Finally, Make sure to give the area a really good rinse with clean fresh water to remove any suds and chemicals traces after cleaning.
