Seven Tips To Cleaning Ceramic Flooring

This article was originally published in CleanLink.

Floor-covering trends come and go, but according to ISSA's Value of Cleaning white paper, ceramic flooring is becoming more and more popular in the United States. There are several good reasons behind this trend. Ceramic tile is:
  • Relatively inexpensive
  • Highly durable
  • Made from clay and sand, which are very sustainable materials
  • Available in a variety of glazes, colors, and designs
  • Relatively easy to clean and maintain
It is recommended that cleaning professionals follow the following tips when caring for ceramic floors:
  • Clean daily. It is often best to vacuum ceramic tiling using a backpack vacuum cleaner instead of sweeping; this is more effective and helps protect indoor air quality
  • When mopping, use a clean mop and bucket and a mild, all-purpose cleaner
  • When heavily soiled, these floors may need to be machine scrubbed
  • Use a wet/dry vacuum to extract solution and soils from flooring after scrubbing; this helps to prevent them from resettling on the floor
