HOW DO YOU CLEAN MOSAIC TILES?
Mosaic tiles require care and attention in order to maintain their beauty and quality. Cleaning them regularly and using the correct cleaning products is important to ensure the mosaic tiles will last for years to come. This can prevent stains, and preserve the glazed and matte finish as well as the colour. Bathroom tiles should be cleaned regularly, as they often collect soap residue and bacteria build-up. Cleaning your tiles often ensures the bathroom is fresh, eliminating dirt and grime. Follow our guide below in order to maintain the immaculate appearance of your tiles.
-
General Cleaning
Use a recommended tile cleaning solution diluted with water. Apply with a microfibre cloth and wipe across the entire tiled area. -
Removing Stains
For stubborn marks, use warm water and a soft nylon brush in circular motions. Only use the brush on wet areas to avoid damaging the finish. -
Drying
Always finish by wiping the tiles dry with a microfibre cloth to prevent water spots and to preserve their pristine appearance.
