How to clean and maintain your high-end tiles for long-lasting beauty?
High-end tiles combine elegance, durability and ease of maintenance. However, to preserve their shine and extend their longevity, regular cleaning and appropriate care are essential. Here are our expert tips for perfect maintenance.
1. Prepare the surface: dusting and sweeping
Before cleaning, remove dust and debris with a vacuum cleaner or a broom with a soft brush. This prevents potential scratches on your tiles.
2. Regular cleaning: use a mild detergent
- Mix a mild detergent in warm water.
- Apply the solution using a mop or non-abrasive sponge.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water to avoid residue.
Tip : Avoid harsh chemicals, which could damage the finish of your tiles.
3. Treat stubborn stains with specialized products
For stains like grease, wine or pencil marks:
- Use cleaners suitable for the type of tiles (ceramic, porcelain stoneware, natural stone).
- Always test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before general application.
4. Specific maintenance according to the material
- Ceramic : No acidic products. Prefer gentle, non-abrasive cleaners.
- Porcelain stoneware : Opt for neutral cleaners and a soft brush for stubborn stains.
- Natural stone : Strictly avoid acidic cleaners. Choose specific products designed for stone.
5. Prevent damage in everyday life
- Place rugs or doormats at entrances to limit abrasive particles.
- Add felt pads under furniture to prevent scratches.
- Handle heavy objects with care to prevent impacts.
