How to Properly Clean Ceramic Tile

Ceramic tile is a popular choice among homeowners for flooring and wall applications.  It is beautiful and durable and when cleaned properly, will continue to look as good as new for years to come.

Determine Whether Your Tile is Glazed or Unglazedceramic-tile

Determine if your ceramic tile is glazed or unglazed.  Unglazed ceramic tile requires a bit more maintenance than glazed finishes.  The first step in keeping a floor clean is to have mats to catch dirt at entry points to the house.  Dirt and grime can scratch floor surfaces and wear down the finish.  Sweep or vacuum your floor and then mop with plain water.  This works well for wall tile too.  You can also mix 1 cup vinegar to one gallon of water and mop with this solution.  There are many commercial cleaners made specifically for ceramic tile.  Find the perfect cleaning solution for your individual tile to keep it looking shiny and new.
