Caring For Your Tiles

It is always spectacular walking into a home with bright, shiny and new looking tiles. No matter how old your ceramic tiles are, it is important to keep them looking their best - for both appearance and cleanliness.

Cleaning Your Wall Tiles

Whether your wall tiles are situated in the bathroom, kitchen or laundry, keeping them sparkly-clean and grime free is a must. Luckily, there is not a lot that you have to do to keep them looking nice.
We advise you use a gentle, household cleaner or soapy water to wash your tiles. It is best to use a soft cloth, as this ensures no scatches. Using items such as abrasive cleaners can do unwanted damage to your tiles and their detailing if they have any. When cleaning the grout, ensure that you use a similar gentle detergent with a soft toothbrush or small cleaning brush. It is best to be patient and careful when cleaning the grout, as you don't want to ruin your tiles!

Cleaning Your Floor Tiles

A similar system is used in cleaning your floor tiles. The gentle household cleaner will be kind to your tiled floors, and using a spongy mop or soft cloth will ensure the best results. We recommend that you sweep over your floors prior to cleaning them, as this will pick up any grit that can scratch your floors upon washing them. Cleaning the grout can be handled in the same manner as your wall tiles.
