Cleaning floor tiles until they shine is not as easy as it seems at first glance.

After all, sometimes certain mistakes in cleaning can lead to the fact that it will still seem dirty.

Moreover, in this case there is a risk of damaging the floor covering.

Leave dust or debris

Dust and debris that accumulate on the floor can prevent you from doing a truly high-quality cleaning.

Therefore, if you do not remove dirt first, it will settle in the water and may cause streaks.

So, before washing the tiles, it is advisable to carry out dry cleaning first.

Use abrasives

If you wash tiles with such products, over time they may lose their shine.

This may also result in scratches on the surface.

This is especially true for glossy surfaces.

If unsuitable cleaning agents are used, the top layer may be damaged and become susceptible to penetration of dirt and other substances.

Use a sponge

Do not use mops with sponge attachments to clean tiles.

In this case, they can release dirty water back.

And it, in turn, accumulates in the seams between the tiles, which may not be so easy to clean.

Therefore, for cleaning tiled floors, it is advisable to choose a microfiber cloth.

To avoid streaks on the surface, it is worth removing any remaining water from the tiles.
