Additional Tips and Advice
- Sponge mops should not be used to clean tile floors because they do not absorb the water quick enough. This leads to the dirt and moisture being pushed into the grout areas and causing a bigger mess.
- Microfiber mops are best because they absorb the moisture and dirty water right away and keep it from spreading.
- Floors can also be washed by hand. If using this method, wash them in a circular motion and rinse quickly to avoid streaking.
I used water and vinegar and the floor turns white when it dries.
Wonderful. I will use this tip.
