Cleaning Tiles

Cleaning Your Tiles Regularly

Why should you clean your tiles?

Regular maintenance of your tiles using the appropriate tile cleaner is the key to prolonging the life of your tiles. It also helps to preserve the finish of the tiles.

What type of tile cleaner should be used?

There a couple of determinants that help in choosing the correct tile cleaner - properties of the tile, the type of sealant used, and the location of the tiled surface. Note: All cleaning products sold on Tile Fix Direct are compatible with sealants. Household brands, like Flash, will clean the surface of the tiles; but, overtime, they will strip the sealant from the tile.

Grout Cleaning and Care

Why should you clean the grout around your tiles?

Grout is a porous material that can become discoloured and stain with time. Cleaning the grout enhances the appearance of the grout (and the tiled surface) and improves the hygiene levels.

What types of products are recommended to clean tile grout?

Tile Fix recommends using LTP Mouldex Grout and Tile Cleaner, Lithofin Grout Cleaner or HG Grout Cleaner to clean the grout around tiles.

Why should I continue to care for the grout after cleaning?

If grout is left untreated after cleaning, it will begin to accumulate bacteria and soil again and is prone to further staining and discolouration. Apply a grout sealer and protector to the grout to provide a stain resistant, watertight, and durable surface.
