If you live on the North Shore of Sydney, you know how nice shiny tiles look. They make your room look clean, let light in, and give it a sense of order. If you’re not careful, though, tile cleaning North Shore can quickly go off the rails, leaving you with dull surfaces and more problems than answers.
Let’s look into the cracks (no pun meant!) of the mistakes that most people make here and how you can avoid them – check this out for more information!
Making a Mess with the Wrong Tools
When grime is looking you down, Grandma’s old steel wool might look appealing. Ceramic and porcelain, on the other hand, get scratched by rough scrubbers. Over time, those small scars will hold on to more dirt and germs. Instead, use a microfiber mop or a soft brush. A light touch will do great. If you clean tiles gently every so often, they will stay looking new without getting damaged.
Not Seeing the Grout
Gross grout is something no one wants to deal with. It takes a lot of time and is just plain boring. Grout, on the other hand, soaks up spills, mold, and mildew. Bleach might look like it works, but over time, it can break down grout and make it fall apart. For this job, a toothbrush and a cleaner with no pH value are best. Do not let the grout be the weak point in your bathroom or kitchen.
Too Much Water Use
You’d think that more water would make it cleaner, right? In fact, puddles of water get into the grout and under the tiles, which makes them break up or smell musty. It’s okay to be damp. It’s not okay to rain. Don’t mop and then leave either. Before putting down rugs or letting people walk on them, make sure the tiles are dry.
Not Doing Regular Maintenance
A lot of people only clean their floors when they can see dirt on them. But tiny bits of grit are always there—think of it as beach sand stuck on your shoes. The floor doesn’t need to be scrubbed as much if you just run a dry cloth mop over it once a week.
