Tile floors are beautiful and add nice touches to a home. The other nice addition is tile showers. Long lasting, versatile and attractive, tile floors and showers make for a lovely appearance to a home. Tile is easy to clean, something that makes it even more beautiful. If you depend on Southern Carpet Solutions to help you keep the flooring looking as good today as it did when it was installed, you will find yourself in even better shape.
Keeping your tile looking its best between regular cleanings is essential. Here are a few tips for you to keep your tile looking good, but we stress that the best solution is routine, scheduled maintenance cleanings with us. Contact us today if we can help, but here are three things you can do in the meantime.
#1 – Clean spills immediately
Chalk this up under no-brainers, but spills can happen without you knowing it. Get them up as soon as possible. Tile’s porous nature means that if a spill sits, it can become a stain quickly. Wipe it up fast for the best defense against a stain.
#2 – Shower time is not sauna time
After a long day of cleaning carpets, we love to soak in the shower just like anyone. Warm and wet are perfect for mold and mildew to take hold, however. You need to limit your shower time as best as you can. Turn on the fans as well. This will help keep issues at bay and a minimum for a longer period.
#3 – Squeegee the shower
The rubber side of the windshield cleaner you get when you fill up is the squeegee. Cleaning your walls of the shower when you are done will help keep mildew down. Use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water once a week to assist in the fight even more.
