How to Clean and Maintain New Porcelain and Ceramic Tile

Porcelain and ceramic tile bring flexible style to any space. And with minimal care, you can easily get a decades-long lifespan from your tile.

To avoid damage caused by tracked-in dirt, place floor mats inside and outside of exterior entryways. Sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent loose dirt from abrading your floor. Tracked-in dirt is abrasive and can mar the flooring surface. Normal maintenance for a glazed or unglazed floor tile is damp mopping with a pH-balanced neutral cleaner and warm water. Thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing. You should not use a detergent on glazed tile, since soap film will give a dull appearance to the tile. No need to wax, polish or buff. Simply wiping glazed tile with a damp sponge or mop will maintain the luster. Do not use scouring powders; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface of the tile. Do not use vinegar or any cleaners containing acids or strong alkaline agents.

A variety of cleaning products are available and will vary depending on the application, amount of traffic, and use. Please consult an Arizona Tile representativefor more information.
