Re: Tile Cleaner Beth Branstetter 26 Jul 2023 11:30 EDT

I'm looking for more of an intense cleaner. It seems lately we've been
going into homes that have old tile/grout and we need a stronger
cleaner. Since it's not a natural stone I thought I would get some
suggestions. We use the Majestic Intensive Cleaner but was hoping for
an alternative that we can use on ceramic/porcelain.

Thank you!
Beth

>> How to Choose the Best Tile Cleaner: A Comprehensive Guide
>>
>> Frederick M. Hueston  StoneForensics.com

>> Tiles are a popular choice for flooring, walls, and backsplashes in homes and commercial spaces due to their durability, versatility, and aesthetic appeal. To keep tiles looking their best, regular cleaning is essential. However, with numerous tile cleaners available in the market, choosing the best one can be overwhelming. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the factors to consider when selecting the best tile cleaner for your specific needs.
>>
>> 1. Identify Your Tile Type: Different types of tiles, such as ceramic, porcelain, natural stone (e.g., marble, granite), and glass, have unique characteristics and care requirements. Some cleaners may be specifically formulated for particular tile types to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
>>
>> 2. Check for pH Balance: Opt for tile cleaners with a neutral or balanced pH level. Avoid highly acidic or alkaline cleaners, as they can damage grout lines and some types of tiles, especially natural stones.
>>
>> 3. Assess the Cleaning Power: Consider the level of cleaning power you require based on the condition of your tiles. For routine maintenance, a mild cleaner may suffice, while heavily soiled or stained tiles may need a stronger, more specialized cleaner.
>>
>> 4. Safety Considerations: Prioritize the safety of your household members and pets when selecting a tile cleaner. Look for non-toxic, biodegradable, and eco-friendly options that are free from harmful chemicals like ammonia, bleach, or harsh solvents.
>>
>> 5. Grout Cleaning Capability: Grout lines can be challenging to clean, as they are porous and can trap dirt and stains. Choose a tile cleaner that is effective in cleaning grout lines, as well as the tiles themselves.
>>
>> 6. Stain and Soap Scum Removal: If you frequently encounter stains or soap scum on your tiles, opt for a cleaner specifically designed to tackle these issues. Look for features like stain-lifting agents or soap scum removers.
>>
>> 7. Avoid Residue Buildup: Some tile cleaners can leave behind a sticky residue that attracts dirt and makes tiles appear dull over time. Choose a cleaner that rinses clean without leaving any residue.
>>
>> 8. Ease of Use: Consider the ease of application and usage. Look for tile cleaners that come in user-friendly spray bottles or ready-to-use formulas, as well as those that require minimal scrubbing effort.
>>
>> 9. Fragrance Preferences: Tile cleaners often come with various scents or fragrance-free options. Choose a fragrance that you find pleasant or opt for a scent-free cleaner if you or any household members have sensitivities or allergies.
>>
>> 10. Reviews and Recommendations: Read customer reviews and seek recommendations from friends, family, or professionals to get real-world insights into the effectiveness and reliability of different tile cleaners.
>>
>> 11. Price and Value: While price is a consideration, focus on the value a tile cleaner offers rather than solely on the cost. A slightly higher-priced cleaner that provides superior results and requires less usage may prove more cost-effective in the long run.
>>
>> 12. Test in a Small Area: Before using a new tile cleaner on the entire surface, perform a patch test in a small, inconspicuous area to ensure it does not cause any adverse effects.
>>
>> Choosing the best tile cleaner involves considering factors such as tile type, pH balance, cleaning power, safety, grout cleaning capability, and ease of use. Prioritize products that offer effective cleaning without causing damage to your tiles, grout, or the environment. By taking the time to select the right tile cleaner, you can maintain the beauty and longevity of your tiles, ensuring they remain a stunning and lasting feature of your home or commercial space.
