Tile Care & Maintenance
Keep Your Tile Floors Pristine
How long will ceramic tile last?
With proper care and maintenance, tile flooring can last for many years. While ceramic and porcelain tiles are highly durable, factors like foot traffic, cleaning products, and installation quality can impact their lifespan. Check your warranty information for further information.
How do I know if my grout joints need to be resealed?
Grout can become porous over time, allowing dirt and moisture to penetrate. It's recommended to seal your grout every 1-2 years. Signs that your grout may need resealing include discoloration, staining, or water absorption.
How should I clean my ceramic tile?
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain the beauty of your tile floors. Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, mop with a mild detergent and warm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the tile and grout.
How can I prevent tile damage?
To protect your tile floors, consider the following:
- Use doormats to trap dirt and moisture.
- Use furniture pads to prevent scratches.
- Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the floor.
- Address spills promptly to prevent staining.
