Caring for Ceramic Tile

Is it easy to care for your ceramic tile? Yes! In fact, the low maintenance of ceramic tile flooring is part of the reason that it's such a popular floor covering. Plus, ceramic tile adds value to your home and improves the overall interior aesthetic.

How Do I Clean Ceramic Tile?

Routine cleaning of ceramic tile is fairly straightforward. First, thoroughly sweep the floor. Then, you can mop it with soap and water using a cotton or microfiber mop. Or, you can use a low-VOC household cleaner and gently wipe down the surface. Spray cleaners for shower tiles and kitchen backsplashes may also be used; however, make sure that they're appropriate for cleaning grout.

Unglazed tile should be cleaned with a neutral pH cleaner safe for unglazed material. It's usually best for removing oils and stains from the tile.

Deep-Cleaning Ceramic Tile

Your kitchen tile may end up with stubborn stains. Coffee, juice, and grease are all common stains. To clean coffee, tea, or juice, wash the surface first with hot water and dish detergent. Then, blot the stain gently with hydrogen peroxide using a microfiber towel. If you have grease stains, wash the area with club soda and water, or use a commercial-grade floor cleaner.
