Read This Before Taking A Jackhammer To Your Ceramic Tile.

Saturday, November 8th, 2008

Ok, lay down the jackhammer and step away before you do something drastic!

Taking care of your tile floor doesn’t have to require desperate measures. Providing you haven’t let dirt and grime build up on it for 15 years before you decide to clean it. The key to keeping your tile floor sparkling is regular maintenance with a low residue cleaning agent. Most problems that I see when I go into a home with dirty tile and grout is from cleaning products that leave a sticky residue and attract soil. This is especially noticeable in the grout lines because they sit lower than the tile surface so all the dirty water that you pushed around with your mop ends up there.

Can you clean it yourself? yes

Will you feel like you’ve been beaten about the back and knees with a bag of marbles? oh yes

 Cleaning a tile floor yourself after it’s been neglected for years is grueling work. Your back and knees will thank you if you have the floor professionally cleaned and sealed first. A reputable company will have the equipment to get your floor as clean as it can be. Once you are starting with a clean slate, your tile and grout will stay clean for a long time with the proper maintenance cleaning.
