Don’t Use Abrasive Temporary Solutions

When it comes to tile and grout maintenance, there are certain actions you should avoid to prevent damage. Here are some things you should never do to your tile and grout:

Using harsh or abrasive cleaners: Avoid using acidic cleaners, bleach, ammonia, or any abrasive cleaning agents on your tile and grout. These can cause discoloration, etching, or even deterioration of the surface.

Using a stiff brush or steel wool: Scrubbing your tile and grout with a stiff brush or steel wool can scratch and damage the surface. Instead, opt for a soft-bristle brush or a non-abrasive sponge for regular cleaning.

Allowing spills to sit: Promptly clean up spills on your tile and grout to prevent staining. Liquids like red wine, coffee, or oil can seep into the porous grout lines and leave stubborn stains if left untreated.

Excessive water exposure: While tile is generally water-resistant, excessive water exposure can still be harmful. Avoid leaving standing water on your tile and grout for extended periods as it can seep into the grout lines, weaken them, and cause mold or mildew growth.

Using excessive force when removing stains: When trying to remove a stain, avoid aggressive scrubbing or scraping. Start with gentle methods and use appropriate cleaning products or homemade remedies designed for tile and grout cleaning. If a stain persists, consult a professional.

Ignoring regular maintenance: Neglecting regular cleaning and maintenance can lead to the buildup of dirt, grime, and stains that become increasingly difficult to remove. Establish a cleaning routine and follow it consistently to keep your tile and grout in good condition.

Skipping sealing: Grout lines are porous and can absorb dirt, moisture, and stains. It is important to seal your grout lines periodically to protect them from damage. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendations or seek professional advice on the appropriate sealing frequency for your specific tile and grout.

Remember, it is always a good idea to consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for your specific type of tile and grout to ensure you’re using appropriate cleaning methods and products. When in doubt, it’s best to seek professional advice to avoid inadvertently causing damage.
