Scottsdale AZ Tile Cleaning Tips
Here are some important tile cleaning tips you should always keep in mind. General household cleaners not specifically safe for natural stone or tile are never suitable. These products can break down the sealer, thereby removing its protective properties and making the stone and tile grout susceptible to stains. Worse yet, many cleaning products, including those that contain lemon, vinegar, bleach, or ammonia can etch away the polish, discolor the surface, or even scratch your stone floors.
Many stores purchase cleaners with a harmful chemical that has a chelating agent in them. This agent breaks down and dissolves minerals in hard water. Since all stone is from minerals, these types of cleaners will dissolve and cause streaks over prolonged use. For the best results, it is recommended to use a neutral-based cleaner solution on your tile and stone floors.
