How to Clean Porcelain Tile Flooring

Cleaning porcelain tile flooring is a basic part of the maintenance regime which will help you to keep it in good condition. Knowing how to undertake this process properly will ensure that the floor remains in good condition and can be achieved by following a few steps.

What You'll Need
  • Broom
  • Vacuum cleaner
  • Cloth
  • Sponge
  • Water
  • Bucket
  • Tile cleaning solution

Step 1 – Remove Loose Debris

Clear away any loose debris from porcelain tile flooring with a broom or a vacuum cleaner, making sure that you pay attention to edges and joins. This step must be undertaken even if it appears not to be necessary, as hidden particles can cause scratches.

Step 2 – Rinse

Dampen a sponge in tepid water and rub this across the surface of the porcelain tile flooring to remove marks. Rinse the floor by starting at a far corner and work your way inward to prevent disturbance of the sections that have been cleaned.   

Step 3 – Wash

Add some tile cleaner to the water in the event that the porcelain tile flooring is affected by heavy staining. Dilute it thoroughly and use the solution to clean the floor in the normal manner. Dry and buff the floor with a clean cloth to remove any streaks.
