How to Maintain Polished Porcelain Tiles

Keeping your polished porcelain tiles looking great is not difficult to do. You will need to maintain your tiles to keep them clean and free from damage.

What You'll Need
  • Broom
  • Cloths
  • Paper Towels
  • Mop
  • Tile Cleaning Product

Step 1 - Sweep

Sweep your polished porcelain tiles regularly with a soft-bristled broom. Regularly lifting the surface dirt will go a long way to keeping the tiles clean. Pay extra attention to dirt trapped in the grout between tiles because it will ruin the look of your floor.

Step 2 - Mop

Mop the polished porcelain tiles with clean water to give the tiles a light clean. If the water is not clean, you could be adding a layer of grime so make sure your mop is not dirty. Also, make sure that the tiles are dried immediately with a cloth or paper towels to prevent a film from developing.

Step 3 - Deep Cleaning

Clean your polished porcelain tiles with a special tile cleaner if they are particularly dirty. Read the instructions on the cleaner and use carefully. You can also dilute the cleaner if you do not want to use a product that is too strong.
