Sometimes Your Ceramic Tiled Floors Will Need a Little More than Regular Cleaning
You’ll know when it’s time to polish ceramic floors when individual tiles still look dirty and faded, no matter how many hours have been spent cleaning it. There’s very little difference when it comes to cleaning and polishing ceramic tiles.
You may either have to rent a DIY floor buffer or hire professionals to do this, depending on how thorough you want the job to be done. Polishing a ceramic tiled floor is a multistep process, involving;
Sweeping the Floor
Loose debris and dirt must be swept completely off the tiled floor. This can be done with the help of a vacuum or a fine bristled broom.
Clean the Grout
Homeowners can either conduct DIY spot cleaning in this step. While household cleaners won’t be strong enough to get the toughest grime out from in between tiles, hydrogen peroxide, detergent and warm water can be used to get at least some stains out. You can also hire us for tile and grout cleaning!
The tiles can be introduced to the floor buffer machine only after the floors have been stripped waxed. You can rent an electric floor buffer from your local home improvement store and polish the tile floors to a high sheen. Proper care is needed when it comes to using a high speed machine on the floor for polishing (but mishaps can occur as well).
It’s better to hire professionals when it comes to ceramic or tile floor buffering and polishing. Contact us for excellent janitorial service in Bakersfield.
