Tile floors, backsplashes and walls are a beautiful feature in any home. However, it is not always easy to keep it looking bright and shining. Everyday use will cause the buildup of grime and dirt. However, for tile cleaning in Naples Fl, all you need is a little elbow grease and ingenuity.
Baking Soda and
Bleach
This particular tile cleaning in Naples Fl
method should only be used with white tile. In addition, remember to
take the necessary precautions for working with bleach, such as
wearing old clothing, rubber gloves and opening a window.
Begin by mixing ¾ of a cup of baking soda with ¼ of a cup of bleach. Stir until it is the consistency of paste. Apply the paste to your grout and allow it to set for five to ten minutes. Use a stiff scrub brush or toothbrush and work in the paste with little circles. Allow it to sit for an additional five to ten minutes, then rinse.
Baking Soda or Vinegar
For your simpler stains, you do not need a very intense solution. Try mixing equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle to use on your tile. You can also mix baking soda with water to form a paste. Work the solution you choose into the tile using little circles and then rinse. For some added scrubbing power, try spraying your vinegar solution on the baking soda paste. When it stops bubbling, scrub it clean and rinse.
Steam Cleaning
If you do not own a steam cleaner, you can rent one for an affordable price. This is the most environmentally safe and effective method of tile cleaning in Naples Fl. Heat and pressure is used to release the dirt and grime. Keep in mind that you should not use this method if your tile is old or broken because it may lead to additional damage.
The steam cleaner should be heated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Use the included detail brush in a forward motion along the tile. Work your way from the front to the back in a continuous side to side motion. Any excess residue can be wiped away easily with a wet rag.
Regardless of the tile cleaning method that you choose for your Naples FL home, begin by cleaning the surface with water to get rid of any loose dirt. For more information contact Greener Southwest Carpet Tile & Upholstery Care.
