Permanent damage often occurs from neglect, incorrect cleaning methods, and using chemicals that are not formulated for tile care. Any cleaning residue that stays on the surface will attract soils and cause buildup. The objective is to establish a customized and long-term tile maintenance which includes preventive maintenance, daily maintenance, and good cleaning and sealing of the grout. Use of proper cleaning compounds is important.

First one of the biggest steps is to make sure you have mats at every entrance. Exterior mats that are designed to dislodge and scrape off large dirt particles and interior mats to wipe off light soils and absorb moisture and oily soils. Then have a routine maintenance program to keep the floors clean daily. Start with sweeping or dust mopping the floor daily and then followed up by wet mopping the floor (Make sure you are using a neutral cleaner) weekly or bi-weekly.

Depending on the amount of daily soil coming into your home you will need a proper cleaning of your hard floor surfaces. So give us a call or just fill out the form below and we will call you!
