Keeping tile, stone and grout clean can be a daunting task. It’s time consuming and often requires specialized products and tools. But with the right approach, you can keep your surfaces looking their best without breaking the bank. Here are some easy steps to help you get started.
Step 1: Vacuum or Sweep
The first step is to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated on the surface. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to gently remove dirt from grout lines and other hard-to-reach areas. If you don’t have a vacuum cleaner, use a broom and dustpan to sweep away any loose dirt or debris.
Step 2: Pre-Treat Stains
Once all the loose dirt has been removed, it’s time to tackle any stubborn stains that may be present on your tile or stone surfaces. Start by pre-treating any stains with a mild detergent solution. Allow the solution to sit for several minutes before scrubbing away the stain with a soft brush or cloth.
Step 3: Clean with Mild Detergent
For general cleaning of tile, stone and grout surfaces, use a mild detergent solution and warm water. Apply the solution liberally using a sponge or cloth and scrub gently in circular motions until all surfaces are clean. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and allow the area to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
Step 4: Apply Sealant
Once your tile, stone and grout surfaces are completely dry, it’s time to apply sealant in order to protect them from future stains and damage. Choose an appropriate sealant for your particular type of surface (e.g., natural stone sealer for natural stone) and follow the instructions on the package for proper application techniques.
