Maintenance and Cleaning Advice
Keeping your blue tiles as fresh and bright as the day you installed them just takes a bit of care. Here’s how to keep them gleaming:
-
Regular Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe down tiles and get rid of everyday dust. For a deeper clean, mild detergent is your mate. Steer clear of anything too scrubby that might scratch them up.
-
Grout Care: Naughty grout can get mucky quick. Mix baking soda and water to give it a clean, or grab a grout cleaner. For the really keen, seal your grout now and then to keep it looking fresh.
-
Preventive Measures: Ditch any harsh chemicals; soft and gentle scores the goal here. Placing mats in busy areas will help fend off wear and tear.
-
Dealing with Stains: Stubborn stains? No worries. Mix a bit of baking soda with water into a paste, slather it on, leave for a bit, then gently scrub with a soft brush.
Here's a cleaning routine to keep your tiles looking ace:
