Tiles are a fantastic choice for floors and walls due to their durability and ease of maintenance. However, keeping them looking pristine requires a little care. Here are some expert tips on maintaining tiles to ensure their beauty and longevity.

1. Regular Cleaning with Mild Products

Routine cleaning is essential to keep your tiles looking fresh. Use a soft cloth or mop with warm water and a mild cleaner that’s suitable for your tile type. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage tile finishes and grout.

2. Address Stains and Spills Quickly

To prevent staining, clean up spills immediately, especially on porous tiles. For common stains, a gentle scrub with a non-abrasive cleaner usually works well. Acidic spills like juice or coffee can be harmful to some tiles, so prompt cleanup is key.

3. Protect High-Traffic Areas

For floors in high-traffic areas, consider using rugs or mats to protect against wear and tear. Regularly sweeping or vacuuming prevents dirt and grit from scratching tiles, especially on glossy surfaces like PGVT tiles.

4. Sealing Grout and Porous Tiles

Grout and porous tiles like natural stone benefit from sealing, which creates a barrier against moisture and stains. Sealing should be done every six months to a year, depending on use. ESPANA’s expert team can guide you on which tiles require this extra step.

5. Avoid Abrasive Tools and Cleaners

Steer clear of scouring pads, steel wool, or any abrasive cleaners, as they can scratch tiles and damage grout. Instead, use soft materials for wiping down tiles to maintain their shine and smooth finish.

With these simple care tips, your tiles will stay in top condition for years to come. ESPANA’s selection of tiles is crafted for durability, but regular care ensures they remain as stunning as the day they were installed.
