Streaks are the main issue when cleaning floor tiles in Adelaide. Cleaning tiles and dealing with dirty patches is one of the most annoying things that can happen. Because it seems like no matter how much you clean, there will be muddy patches, and there’s seemingly no solution.
One thing you need to know, however, is that there will always be streaks; all you can do is reduce how visible they are. There’s no permanent solution to stains unless you want to spend all day cleaning the same area of your Adelaide home.
You can significantly reduce streaks on your floor tiles when cleaning them by:
Make Sure the Floor Tiles in Your Adelaide is Clean
One of the leading causes of bars is dirty flooring. Dirt gets in the way of spotless floor tiles.
When mopping your floor tiles, you must ensure they’re dirt-free. When your tiles are dirty before you clean them, the mop will mostly pack up the grime without cleaning the floors.
Get a brush and sweep up all the dirt on the floors. You don’t want your mop to snag crumbs, bottles, hairs, etc. while mopping.
Clean Mop
Make sure every mop you use in your Adelaide home is clean. Dirty mops don’t do anything but add more dirt to your dirty floor tiles. Sometimes, they even aggravate the whole situation by making the floor dirtier than it originally was.
If you see that you keep getting streaky lines whenever you’re mopping—let’s say—the kitchen, then your mop is undoubtedly dirty.
You can avoid this by cleaning your mop with a powerful cleaning solution or detergent before usage. And don’t just do a simple wash or rinse either; put some elbow grease in it and aggressively wash the mop bristles.
Swishing your mop in soapy water is a test to know if it is clean. If you bring the mop out and the water is clean, then you’re good to get mopping. However, dirty, soapy water means your mop still needs more cleaning.
Strong Cleaning Solution
A weak or unsuitable cleaning solution is another reason you may have streaks when cleaning your floor tiles. When the soap you’re using is not good with whatever floor tiles you’re cleaning, it’ll continue pushing the dirt around the floor.
You could solve this by getting a better cleaning solution for your floor tiles or sprucing them up with these different solutions. Add vinegar to any cleaning solution to clean your tiles for extra acidity.
The acidic content of vinegar allows it to clear grease, oil, and most types of stains found on floor tiles.
Try out these tips, and you’re guaranteed to get fewer streaks when you’re cleaning your floors. You may get grease if your tiles are hard to clean. In that case, you may need to change your tiles.
