Guests
are coming and you really need to deep clean that guest bathroom or your
laundry room floor is looking a little grimy or you just want to freshen up
your kitchen backsplash. The grout is looking a little dingy and you just can’t
seem to get the scum off of the tile. Here are a few easy tips and tricks for
getting that tile sparkling clean.
·
Looking for
easy? Stone and Tile Cleaner by Dupont, available at Traditions in Tile, is a
multi-purpose cleaner that works on all polished marbles, porcelain and ceramic
tiles and natural stone. Simply spray, lightly scrub and rinse.
·
For a little
deeper clean to help with the soap scum, try a porcelain and ceramic tile
cleaner. Test a small area on polished tiles first to make sure it does not
affect the finish. As always, follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
·
Has your grout
cracked at the corners and around the top of the tub? A common occurrence as
walls expand and contract, but simple to fix. Cut out the grout in those
locations and fill with a sanded caulk that matches your grout color. Allow to
fully dry before using the tub or shower. Traditions in Tile is a great source.
Always be sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
·
Once you have
gotten your grout or natural stone freshly cleaned, seal it to help prolong the
life and keep it looking like new. Most stones should be resealed every 1-3
years.
Nothing
feels better than a sparkling clean tile. Your guests will thank you. What are
your secrets for keeping your tile clean? I’d love to hear. Email me at
