For light cleaning of ceramic tile, follow these typical steps:
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner or a broom.
Mix a small amount of cleaner with warm water.
Using a cotton mop, sponge, or other soft apparatus, clean the floor, then thoroughly rinse with clean water, and allow to dry
Note: rinsing is very important, since dried detergent not only dulls the finish, but can trap abrasive dirt particles. Also, if your tile has a polished finish, you should dry it with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
For heavily soiled floors, let the cleaning mixture soak into the dirt for 5-10 minutes before mopping or scrubbing. Clean small areas at a time and do not let the cleaning solution dry on the tile. Be sure to rinse the area thoroughly before cleaning another. More difficult dirt and stains may require scrubbing with a nylon pad or brush.
Using the suggestions above and by following your flooring manufacturer’s recommendations, you’ll keep that shine on your new tile…for a good and a long time.
