Things to avoid before cleaning Tiles and Grouts
-
Following Home remedies
With the internet, you can buffer hundreds of videos on D-I-Y or do it on your knowledge, about tile cleaning and grout cleaning. One of the trendiest D-I-Y of interest at this moment is using baking soda with vinegar and vinegar with dish detergent.
-
Scrubbing the tiled areas with bleach or ammonia products
We highly recommend you to not use bleach or ammonia products on your tile and grout for cleaning purposes. It will discolor your tiles and damage your grout causing you to loosen up the tiles. You should use something that is more alkaline based or ph-balanced solution or better calls a professional cleaner for tile grout cleaning.
-
Abrasive tool
Abrasive materials and tools such as steel wool, scouring pad, or brush should be avoided in tile and grout cleaning. It is a myth that you need to have tough abrading tools for cleaning purposes. A scouring tool will only cause more damage to you than do any good. Such tools can scour the tile and cause damage to the grout.
-
Colored cleaners
If you have white tiles or unglazed tiles, we suggest you do not use colored cleaners. Colored cleaners may color or stain your tiles which will look unpleasing. We advise against colorful cleaners for those of you who have unglazed tiles, that is, tiles that are not coated with a glossy surface. Your tiles may be scratch resistant but not stain resistant.
-
Oil-based or Wax-based cleaners
We suggest you not use oil-based cleaner or wax-based cleaner as they leave a residue on your tile and grout that may attract dirt, resulting in yellow stains that are unpleasant. The more you will clean the dirtier your tiles are going the get.
