Tile and Grout Cleaning Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid residue, damaged grout, etched stone and unsafe chemical combinations when caring for tile floors.

General educational information. Material condition and safety always take priority over a generic instruction.

Tile floors are durable, but the wrong chemistry or technique can damage grout, coatings and natural stone.

Do not assume every tile is the same

Porcelain, ceramic and natural stone respond differently to acids, alkalines, abrasion and sealers.

Avoid repeated residue

Overusing cleaning product and failing to rinse can leave a film that attracts soil and dulls the floor.

Repair before sealing

Loose tile, cracked grout and active moisture should be corrected before a protective finish is applied.
