Ceramic tile is one of the most widely chosen tiles for home installations.  It is durable, cost effective, and comes in many shapes, colors, and patterns.  If you are choosing an installation of ceramic in your home, proper cleaning will help maintain its beauty for many years. 

Here are a few general guidelines for cleaning ceramic tile:

1. Sweep your floors regularly to remove dirt and dust particles. Dirt and grime under foot is the main culprit of scratching.

2. Always sweep or vacuum prior to mopping to remove grit and dirt. If vacuuming, don’t use the beater bar attachment as it can scratch the surface of the tile.

3. Damp mop your floor with an approved cleaner. Most common cleaners will specify on the direction label what type of flooring for which it is suited. After mopping, dry surface with a clean rag.

The aesthetic options for ceramic tile have increased dramatically over the years.  If you find this is the right tile for your home design, protect your investment by maintaining it properly.  It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
