Tile & Stone Care
You have invested in tile or stone for your home which will improve its appearance for many years to come. Now, just like you want your rug or hardwood to stay looking new, you don’t want to have your stone or tile lose its luster. Follow some simple steps below to ensure a healthy long lasting life for your tile or stone.
Entrances:
Similar to hardwood and carpets, a smart investment when trying to protect tile and stone is a rug or mat placed at the entrance. This rug or mat will help trap dirt and debris before it can reach and damage the tile or stone. A small investment in a simple entrance rug may save you hundreds of dollars and a lot of time down the road.
Putting a seal on your tile
Another affordable option many take into consideration when aiming to extend the life and quality of their tile is to put a seal on it. When applying a seal to your tile remember to first clean your tile thoroughly and then apply the seal evenly and directly to the surface. Start at the end and go toward the entrance of the tile. Mop thoroughly and let it dry on its own. Applying a simple seal can greatly enhance the appearance of your tile for many years to come.
Regular Cleaning
Much like the maintenance of any product, regular cleaning is crucial in sustaining your tile or stones beauty. First find a reliable tile or stone cleaner which fits your individual needs. Use a stiff brush to scrub away at the dirt and grime. Always scrub in a circular motion to get the best results. After you have deeply scrubbed the grit and dirt off of the tile or stone, use a mop soaked in warm water for cleanup.
