Tiled floors can be timeless, but also they are often hard to maintain clean.

It's even harder with white or light-color tiles, because you can see dust and dirt quickly after cleaning them.

That's how you take good care of your tiled floor.

Collect loose parts first

Use a broom or vacuum cleaner to sweep or vacuum the tiled floor, focusing on the lines and the corners to remove any loose dirt, dust, or debris.

Prepare a cleaning solution

Fill a bucket with warm (but not too hot) water and add a bit of mild detergent or a suitable floor cleaner according to the product's instructions.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the tiles.

Clean the corners

While cleaning the floor, don't put too much pressure, but just enough to get rid of stubborn stains.

Pay extra attention to the grout lines, as these areas tend to trap dirt.

Use a scrub brush or toothbrush for stubborn stains

For some annoying stubborn stains or buildup in the corners, you can use a scrub brush or an old toothbrush to scrub the area more vigorously.

Rinse and dry the area

Once you have cleaned the corners, rinse your mop or cloth in clean water and get rid of any excess liquid.

Use the damp mop or cloth to wipe away the cleaning solution from the floor.

Finally, use a paper towel or absorbent cloth to dry the tiled surface, paying attention to the corners to prevent any residual moisture.
