How to clean tiles.

[rosana1884]

The clean tile is very bid problem. The following are the some tips for keep tiles clean.
Do clean up spills as quickly as possible so your grout won’t become stained.
Don’t use steel wool, scouring powders, or other abrasives that can scratch the finish of your ceramic tile.
Do remember that while ceramic tile is very durable, it’s not indestructible and may crack or chip under extreme force.
Don’t use bleach or ammonia-based cleaners — these products can discolor your grout if used too often.
Do take the proper precautions when moving heavy objects across a ceramic tile floor.
Do cover furniture and table legs with protectors to guard your floor against scratching.
Do remember that if a repair is necessary, the replacement product may be a slightly different dye lot and/or texture than the original tile, however, with time and usage, the replacement tile will blend in with its neighbors.

That is why:
I have Porcelain and Epoxy grout. I use, brake clean on my floor. Oil sits on it till the project moves out of the way. I drag stuff all over it all the time. My floor jacks are way to heavy to carry them around the car. My ceiling is too low to carry 4'x8' 3/4" MDF, so that gets dragged too. I use wire brush to scrape off glue and poly from the tiles. Yea go porcelain.

Best general cleaning that I am currently using, is a huge 3' squeegee on a broom handle. I hose my entire floor, then push the dirt and water out. When I have enough caked on glue and other stuff, I get down and dirty with a wire brush.
