Floor tiles are important interior of any home
and office. When we choose tiles for our home, we choose it passionately.
We
take care of the colour, size, finish, design etc. We purchase our favourite
tiles to make our home beautiful. But the place also matters where we will fit
the tiles.
There are different tiles options for certain places like Bathroom,
kitchen etc. It is not so problematic. The
problem is somewhere else. That is the cleaning of your home tiles.
In offices regular professional cleaning is
common. In homes, we often do it our own. But, we do not know the best cleaning
tricks.
Hence, we don't get the proper result. Even though, tile cleaning is
easier. But grout cleaning is more difficult. Even if the tiles are sparkling,
dirty grouts will cause messy look.
Hence,
you need some easy ways. We will discuss the easy tips for DIY tiles and grout
cleaning.
Why is grout
cleaning difficult?
The porous gap between two tiles is the grout.
Soil, dirt gets into the gap. It is nearly impossible to clean every grout line
and repaint them. Hence, maintenance is the first preference.
Then clean them
seldom. So, what are the easy ways to maintain and clean your home tile and
grout? Let's check.
DIY Tile
& Grout Cleaning Tips
1.
Firstly, we suggest sealing grout. During tile
fitting you can seal the grout lines. As we already know, the grout is porous. These catch dirt, oil particles (in kitchens mainly) easily. Dirty grout gives
an unclean look to your kitchen. Hence, seal the gaps to decrease the chance of
getting dirty. It will help you avoid frequent cleaning.
2.
Secondly, while cleaning the tiles, try to use
mild soap. Use a mild detergent and plenty of water to minimize chemical
reaction of the cleaning agent.
3.
Thirdly, clean any spill or stain on tiles as
soon as possible. If you leave it for long, the stain will get hard. Grout will
also absorb some of it. Hence, clean it immediately.
4.
Fourthly, the bathroom tiles and grouts stain
when you use any colouring agent. If you use hair colour, or some particular
shampoo that stains the floor or wall. Hence, you should clean the floor with
wiper and the wall with enough water to avoid hard staining.
5.
Fifthly, if you need a deep cleaning of the
grout lines, we recommend an old rejected toothbrush as your weapon. Now, start
your fight against stains. Though toothbrushes take much time, the process is
really fruitful. It cleans the grout lines thoroughly and offers a fresh, clean
look.
6.
Sixthly, you can use vinegar and water mix as a
resourceful cleaner. Harsh chemical product may cause severe damage to the
grout.
7.
Finally, it is not a tip but a trick. From the
very beginning, follow it. Choose dark colour grouts rather than lighter one.
It gives your home a pretty and fashionable look. But assures less
maintenance.
