Give Your Stone Tiles the Best Care by Natural Stone Restoration Professionals

Cleaning tile floors with hand and towel is not very effective as tile and grout are porous and gather dust, dirt, spills etc. which go deep under the surface.  This makes cleaning such surfaces messy and uncomfortable. Though regular mopping and spot cleaning is a must, they don't ensure the lifelong protection as they are unable to reach the hidden dirt that lies deep within the pores of the grout lines.

Regular maintenance of tiles and grout will slow down the discolouration process and prevent mould from growing. Periodic inspection and timely cleaning or repair by stone care professionals is the best thing you can do for your natural stone tiles.

Marble and granite tiles are much more than just a flooring or wall decoration. In fact they can be the centre of attraction for your kitchen and bathroom if well cared for. Cleaning grout is the most important and effective way of keeping your tiles looking impressive. Unlike black tiles, white tiles get stained easily and put up a dirty look even if cleaned. Thus these tiles should be mopped regularly and don't forget to keep a tile cleaner handy so that immediate action can be taken in case of spills and stains.

Experts recommend the use of the mixture of baking soda and bleach as an effective way for deep cleaning grout. Mix the baking soda and bleach together in the bowl until it forms a thick paste. Use this paste on the dirty grout lines for about 5 to 10 minutes. The bleach will do most of the work just sitting there, but after 5-10 minutes, scrub it with a scrub brush so that the cleaner reaches deep down in to the grout. Wait another 5-10 minutes and then rinse the cleaner off of the grout.

In case of marble tiles, it’s best to use a mild dish-washing soap, as acidic products, such as things like vinegar, can cause damage. Apart from troublesome areas that need thorough clean up, you don't need to scrub as vigorously as when cleaning grout. A good quality cloth will do the work. Bathroom tiles give rise to growth of mould, particularly in light colored tiles. In such case, use of vinegar is often recommended along with cleaners that will prevent further mould growth.
