Keep Tiles in High Traffic Areas Clean With These Cleaning Tips!

Tiles in high-traffic areas will need more maintenance than tiles in less-busy areas. So, if you've noticed that tiles in certain areas of your home are hard to clean for some reason, it's because of their location. Tiles in high-traffic areas will need more expertise and finesse while being groomed. Try these cleaning tips for the tiles of your Adelaide home, business, etc., and you'll notice a difference immediately!

So here are some tips that will help you clean your tiles in busy areas!

 

Have the proper equipment.

Equipment may seem extreme, but it's necessary because you'll need certain materials to deal with your tiles properly. You'll need a mop or rag, gloves, bleaching solution, vinegar, baking soda, cleaning solution, lemon, etc. This equipment and cleaners will come in handy whether you like DIY or want something extra substantial. (Remember not to mix chemicals!)

 

Mop as soon as you see any dirt.

When you see dirty tiles in high-traffic areas, mop them immediately. It's better to clean the stains while wet because colours get more complicated when drying. It would be best to sweep the dirt on the floor and then mop over it with a damp mop or rag slightly wet with a cleaning solution.

 

Clean the tiles as they're meant to be cleaned.

You must know that different tiles require different cleaning steps and solutions. Here are some ways to clean different types of tiles in high-traffic areas.

 

  • Ceramic tiles

If the stains on the tiles are too hard because they have soaked for a while, you should use a bleaching solution mixed with soap to clean the stain. Once you tend the colour, don't let it air dry because it'll get dirty again. Rather, wear it with a clean cloth.

 

  • Stone tiles

If the tiles are made of stone, you can use detergent or any mild cleaning solution that doesn't have harsh chemicals. Chemicals can damage the stone tiles' surface, so note that. Also, avoid using brushes on stone tiles; use mops or clean cloths instead.

 

  • Tiles made with rubber, etc.

Avoid using hot water on non-ceramic stone tiles such as this. Clean up any dirt on these tiles, and follow up with detergent or water. Avoid using stiff brushes on this type of tile, as they may peel.

 

With these tips, the tiles in your high-traffic areas will forever be clean. Are you thinking of changing your tiles? Aurees Tiles is your best bet for getting premium tile solutions in Adelaide.
