How to Clean and Shine Tiles: Step-by-Step

Sweep or vacuum the floor to remove dust, sand, and debris.

This prevents scratching the tiles during cleaning.

Step 2: Prepare Cleaning Solution

For everyday cleaning: Mix warm water with a few drops of dish soap.

For deeper cleaning: Add 1 cup of white vinegar to 1 gallon of warm water, or make a paste of baking soda and water for grout or tough spots.

Step 3: Wash the Tiles

Dip a mop or cloth into the solution and wring out excess water.

Wipe the tiles thoroughly, working in small sections.

For stubborn spots, scrub gently with a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush.
