1. Dust mop regularly – Dust mopping is key in keeping your floors clean. Dust mopping not only removes the grit that can cause your floor to dull (grit is the culprit because it scratches the surface of the tile) but, also lifts the tiny dust particles that embed into the surface and grout between tiles. Removing dry dust particles helps to keep your floor cleaner for longer.

2. Wipe up food and drinks and substances that can seep into the tile surface or worse yet seep and embed into the grout. Remember, the thinner the grout lines are the more difficult it can be to flush out debris from between tiles. When left alone, these substances can cause odors and bacteria to fester in your home which can make you and your family ill. The longer the substance, food or drinks stay in your floor the more difficult it becomes remove.

3. Wet mopping is recommended at least twice a month or if your have a high traffic home you will need to wet mop more frequently.

4. Be sure to use floor cleaners that are neutral – to prevent corrosion of grout and tile. Strong harsh chemicals tend to ruin floors over time. You may think it is caused by foot traffic, however, the chemicals used in toxic cleaners, like acids and chlorine bleaches are the likely cause of floors becoming dull. This corrosive process makes your floors become dirty quicker as the soils attach themselves to the worn surface.
