How to Keep Your Tile in Good Shape

We know our customers love their tile floors; it’s easier to clean up spills, it’s durable, and it looks nice in just about every home. Despite tile being a go-to choice of flooring for many homeowners in the Fresno area, tile flooring needs to be well-maintained to last long and look clean. During our tile cleaning in Fresno, CA, we’ve offered advice about keeping your tile in good shape, but now we’ve compiled some of our favorite tips here for everyone to use!

Regularly Clean Your Tile

Although it may seem obvious, regularly cleaning your tile floors helps preserve them! The weekly build-up of dust and dirt can get in the pores of your tile and make it look less shiny. We advise sweeping, vacuuming, and mopping your tile once a week. Always avoid bleach, ammonia, and oil-based DIY or storebought tile cleaning solutions and use a microfiber or nonabrasive tile cleaning mop!

Prevent Damage from Pets

Dog, cats, and other types of pets can take a toll on your tile flooring— their nails scratch the tile, their hair and dander builds up, and their smelly urine accidents seep into the grout. To prevent this damage, routinely trim the nails of your pets and immediately clean up their urine accidents. Keeping your floors vacuumed also helps remove the hair and dander that accumulates on your flooring.

Protect Heavily Frequented Areas and Spaces with Furniture

Heavily frequented areas in your home include the entryway, hallways, near bathroom vanities and showers, and by the kitchen sink. If you have tile in these areas, be sure to place rugs or mats near them for added protection to keep scratches, dirt particles, and spills from coming in contact with your tile.
