Tile and grout cleaning is no walk in the park.
For one, it’s time-consuming, and when you don’t get them clean as you’d hoped, the frustration will get to you. It’s not because you don’t have the capability; you might just be doing it all wrong.
Here are some of the mistakes you may be making while cleaning your tiles.
- The water or the mop you’re using is dirty
The traditional way of cleaning tiles is by mopping. However, a dirty mop or dirty water causes more harm than good.
Tiles and their grouts are naturally porous, which means they absorb the dirt from the water or the mop you’re using. Soon enough, the grouts and the tiles will pick up the color of the dirt.
We recommend washing up your mop after every use and changing it more frequently. Also, be careful with colored chemicals.
- Using harsh chemicals such as muriatic acid
Sure, muriatic acid effectively cleans stubborn stains, but that doesn’t mean you should use it to clean your tiles.
Instead of getting your tiles clean, the powerful nature of muriatic acid will damage your tiles and grout. You may end up replacing your tiles as well as regrouting.
- Cleaning with bleach and vinegar
Like muriatic acid, bleach erodes the grout and can cause it to discolor. Vinegar is also another go-to home cleaning agent that comes in handy in multiple uses, but grout and tile cleaning isn’t one of them.
You already know how acidic vinegar is. Its acidity will dissolve or erode the top layer of the grout, which costs you to regrout sooner than you thought.
Instead of all these trials and errors, we recommend you hire an expert to clean your tiles and grout.
