How to Clean Tile Floors

Tile is an easy material to maintain, even when it comes time to clean it. In order to clean tile floors, you are going to need to follow a few steps. Here are the basics of how to clean tile floors effectively.

What You'll Need:

  • Broom
  •  Dust pan
  •  Vacuum
  •  Tile cleaner
  •  Mop
  •  Bucket
  •  Water
  •  Vinegar

Step 1 - Remove the Dirt

The first thing that you will need to do is remove any dirt or debris on the surface of the tile. This can be done with a broom and a dustpan. You could also potentially use a vacuum cleaner for this job. This should be done at least once a week and in some cases, twice a week.

Step 2 - Select a Cleaner

There are several different types of cleaners that you could use for this job. You could purchase a commercial tile cleaner from the store. These types of cleaners are specially formulated to be used on tile floors. If you do not want to purchase a tile cleaner, you could also mix vinegar with water to create a potent tile cleaner.

Step 3 - Mop

Once you have mixed up your cleaner in the mop bucket, you need to mop the tile floor. Use a wet mop and then mop the floor with your cleaner. After that, rinse the floor with clean water and mop it dry.
