The first thing to keep in mind when cleaning your floors is to pay attention to the type of material it’s made of. Most homes use resistant materials specially designed for a particular use; however, sometimes wood, stone, and terracotta floors are used for aesthetic reasons and are not compatible with just any type of cleaning product, so you should be careful and always read product usage instructions closely.
Wood is one of the most difficult materials to clean. If not cleaned properly, wooden floors can be damaged and stained. To add shine to wooden floors and get them looking sparkling clean, our recommendation is to use a neutral pH wood floor cleaner. If the usage instructions allow, let the cleaner sit for a few minutes on particularly difficult stains and then remove with a microfiber cloth.
The best way to deep clean ceramic tiles is to use a multi-purpose cleaner. For example, try Fabuloso® 2X Concentrated Multipurpose Cleaner in Lavender Scent. Fabuloso® 2X Concentrated Multipurpose Cleaner in Refreshing Lemon Scent also provides cleaning power. With a bucket: Mix 1/8 cup in a gallon of water and clean as usual; no rinsing is required.
Terracotta floors are durable and can add an element of style to your home, but special care must be taken to keep them clean. The secret to cleaning terracotta is in the temperature of the water. Using lukewarm water to clean terracotta can help to open the pores of the material, making it easier to remove grease, grime, and stains.
Terracotta floors may show mold, moss or lime marks. To avoid this, let them dry for approximately 12 hours after cleaning and use an anti-limescale product periodically. On difficult stains, you can use a metal bristle brush.
Hydraulic mosaic floors are spectacular, often built using incredible designs. Although simple to clean, it’s important to know that products designed to remove salt efflorescence should be used. Our recommendation is that you add products to your cleaning routine that help waterproof the floor and prevent it from being damaged, in order to create a protective layer that protects the floor against stains and moisture.
