Why Does My Floor Look So Dirty?


How to keep floors looking good between professional cleanings

Most consumers will shop at length for their hard-floors, finally finding something they love only to be disappointed and frustrated a year later when the tile and grout just doesn't look like it did when it was new. Many tile owners don't realize the tile and especially the grout is not a solid surface. The various textures trap soil, germs and bacteria into the porous parts of the tile and grout causing these surfaces to appear dull, discolored and to appear unsanitary.


What can home/business owners do to keep floors clean?

1. First, have good walk-off mats at the entry to your home or business, inside and outside. Keep them clean and vacuumed.

2. Use mild cleaners for maintenance, avoid bleaching your tile and grout, it will break the grout down and ruin your floor.

3. Use two buckets for mopping, one for cleaner and one for rinsing. Change the rinse water frequently to avoid contamination.

4. Have a good cleaning and maintenance plan with your professional tile and grout cleaning company.
