How to preserve porcelain tiles

Let's walk through some expert tips to keep your tiles sparkling clean and beautiful, making sure they remain the star of your home decor.

What is so special about porcelain tiles?

Porcelain tiles aren't just popular because they look good; they're loved for their strength and minimal upkeep needs. These tiles are produced from pure clay and baked at incredibly high temperatures, making them highly resistant and ideal for any space of your house – be it a sunny patio or a cosy bathroom. It also has different finishes that mimic everything – from rustic wood to elegant marble.

Why should you clean

Porcelain tiles are important to clean due to the following reasons:

• They are very resistant and can withstand lots of foot traffic. However, they do not save your floors from dirt and grime. The dirt and sand underneath your feet might grind away the surface of your tiles eventually. Cleaning these abrasives off periodically can ensure those particles don't wear out your tile finish.

• Most importantly, spills migrate into the grout between tiles, creating stains and contributing even to bacterial growth. Regular and fast cleaning makes sure that such spills do not have time to set and keep your tiles looking beautiful.
