Instead of using a high-priced commercial tile cleaner, make your own cleaning solution.

Things You Will Need

  • Broom
  • Mop
  • Water
  • Bucket
  • White vinegar
  1. Sweep the floors at least once per week to collect dust and other loose elements that may cause damage to the flooring.

  2. Run a mop under hot water, wring it out and wipe it across the vitrified tiles. Let the flooring air-dry and keep all foot traffic off the floor until dry to prevent footprints from drying onto your clean floor.

  3. Mix 1 cup white vinegar and 1 gallon hot water in a bucket for a more thorough cleaning. Again, dip the mop into the solution, wring it out and wipe it over the flooring. Allow the floor to air-dry and keep foot traffic off the floor as it dries.

The Drip Cap

  • Vitrified floor tiles are compacted, high-gloss tiles that are highly durable and easy to maintain.
  • Let the flooring air-dry and keep all foot traffic off the floor until dry to prevent footprints from drying onto your clean floor.
