How to maintain and clean glazed tiles


 

The so-called glazed tiles are made by applying glaze to ordinary bricks and firing them at high temperature and pressure. These tiles consist of two parts: the clay body and the glazed surface. The main function of the glaze is to enhance the aesthetics of the tiles and improve their stain resistance. Below, I will share some tips on cleaning and maintaining glazed tiles!

1. Cleaning Glazed Tiles

1. For daily stains on tiles, you can use dishwashing liquid, soap, etc. for cleaning.

2. A mixture of soap with a little ammonia and turpentine can be used to clean tiles, making them shinier.

3. Polished tiles should be waxed regularly, ideally every 2-3 months.

2. Maintenance Tips for Glazed Tiles

1. Black Spots on the Surface

When black spots appear on glazed tiles, do not casually use tile cleaners, especially those that are acidic, as acids can corrode the tile's shine. Observe what kind of stain it is, and then choose a targeted professional cleaner. If it is a quality issue with the glazed tiles, you can directly contact the manufacturer for a replacement or even file a complaint with the consumer association.

2. Stubborn Stains on Glazed Tiles

Tiles are often stained with grease, water rust, soap scum, etc., especially at the seams where dirt tends to accumulate. To keep the tile surface clean without damaging its shine, you can use a multifunctional stain remover. First, use a toothbrush dipped in a little stain remover to clean the dirt, especially in the gaps of the tiles, then apply a waterproof agent in the gaps. This not only prevents water penetration but also inhibits mold growth.

3. Metal Scratches on Glazed Tiles

If black metal scratches appear on the tile surface, you can spray a little descaling agent, wait a minute or two, and wipe with a dry cloth to remove them. For the gaps between tiles, you can periodically use the descaling agent to clean, and then brush a layer of waterproof agent in the gaps to prevent mold growth.
