Cleaning Your Tiles Before and After Moving

If you are moving or have already moved, the Jacksonville movers at All My Sons Moving & Storage can offer the top tips for cleaning your tiles, so your house is in perfect shape!

The best way to keep your tiles clean is through regular maintenance. You should clean up spills as soon as possible to make sure dirt and spills don’t have the chance to get comfortable on your tile. You can easily clean spills or dirt with a mop or cloth, warm water and a household detergent.

If you are just cleaning your tiles, you should do a quick sweeping or vacuum to remove the dirt and debris. Then, you should mop with warm water and a household detergent. If you have children or pets, you might consider making your own cleaning solution without any harsh chemicals. You can mix a cup of white vinegar with a gallon of water for an effective, odor-eliminating cleanser.

Since ceramic tiles are held in place by grout, which is white, over time, this white can become discolored. To keep the grout from discoloring, you should seal it about twice a year. Sealing your grout keeps stains, dirt and water from being able to penetrate the protective barrier.

On the chance that your grout does become dirty, you can mix hydrogen peroxide and water together. Apply this solution with a toothbrush to remove the stains. Like your tiles, grout that is routinely maintained, will be easier to clean.

Ceramic tiles are excellent because of their resistance to stains and its ease of cleaning.
