How to Care for Your Tile Flooring

Tile flooring is one of the most durable and low-maintenance flooring options available. With proper care, your ceramic tile floors will maintain their beauty and performance for years to come! Follow these cleaning instructions recommended by Daltile to care for your flooring. 

Routine Care & Cleaning Steps:

1. Sweep or vacuum daily to remove loose dirt and debris before mopping. 
2. Use a clean microfiber mop or a soft-to-medium bristle brush. 
3. Use a nonhazardous, low-VOC cleaner that is safe for ceramic tile. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for proper dilution and recommended dwell time.
4. Avoid cleaners containing fluorine compounds. 
5. After cleaning, rinse and dry the floor thoroughly. 

Cleaning Heavily Soiled Areas:

• For areas with stubborn dirt or heavy traffic, allow the cleaning solution to remain on the tile for 3-5 minutes, following the cleaner manufacturer's recommendations. 
• For larger areas or periodic deep cleaning, use an auto-scrubber with soft-to-medium bristles. Allow the cleaner to dwell for 5-10 minutes.
