Dust, dirt, and debris can dull the surface of your tiles over time. Sweep or vacuum high-traffic areas daily to prevent scratches and buildup. For general cleaning, use a soft mop with warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic solutions, which may damage the finish.
When cleaning, opt for soft cloths, microfiber mops, or non-abrasive brushes. Avoid using steel wool or rough scrubbers that can scratch the tile surface, especially if your tiles have a glossy or textured finish.
Even if the tiles are spotless, dirty grout can make the surface look worn. Use a soft brush and a baking soda paste or grout cleaner to gently scrub away stains. Sealing the grout once or twice a year can also prevent moisture absorption and mold growth.
Although porcelain tiles are water-resistant, it’s still best to wipe up spills quickly—especially liquids like oil, wine, or coffee that may leave stains or cause slippery surfaces.
In areas with heavy foot traffic, like entryways or kitchens, place rugs or mats to reduce wear. Use protective pads under furniture legs to prevent scratching when moving chairs or tables.
Over time, even well-maintained tiles can develop a layer of residue. Periodic deep cleaning using a steam cleaner or professional service can rejuvenate the surface and maintain its original shine and texture.
Porcelain tiles are an excellent investment in both style and durability. With just a little regular care, you can keep your surfaces looking flawless and functional for decades.
