Tile Care & Maintenance Guide
At TileCiti, we want your tiles to maintain their beauty and durability for years to come.
Proper maintenance is key to ensuring they stay in top condition, and choosing the right cleaning methods is just as important as selecting the right tiles.
Understanding Tile Maintenance
Different tile materials require different care routines.
Porcelain and ceramic tiles are manufactured differently, meaning they respond differently to cleaning agents and methods.
Before you begin any cleaning process, it’s essential to understand how to care for your specific tiles.
General Cleaning Tips
Daily Maintenance: Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can cause scratches.
Mopping: Use warm water with a pH-neutral, sulphate-free cleaning agent to keep your tiles fresh and clean.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Acidic or abrasive cleaners can damage tiles, grout, and sealants.
Spill Management: Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining, especially on porous tiles.
Always Consult Your Tiler First
At the time of installation, ask your tiler about the best cleaning methods for your specific tiles.
Certain tiles may have unique maintenance needs, and using the wrong products can lead to permanent damage.
If you're ever unsure about which cleaning products to use, contact TileCiti before cleaning your tiles. Our team is happy to provide guidance to help you protect your investment.
