How to Clean Rough Tile Floors
- Broom
- Dishwashing detergent
- Bucket
- Brush
- White towels
- Buffing machine
- White pad
- Sealant
Sweep the tile floor to remove the dirt buildup. For a thorough cleaning, remove all furniture and carpeting.
Mix 2 tbsp. dishwashing detergent and 1 gallon of water. Use a dishwashing detergent that is pH neutral. Dip a bristle brush in the cleaning mixture and concentrate on heavily soiled areas of the tile. Repeat the process until you see the dirt lift from the tile flooring.
Rinse the floor to remove any accumulation of cleaning mixture. Wipe the tile flooring down with white towels. Allow to completely dry before buffing.
Rent a floor buffing machine from your local hardware store. Purchase a white buffing pad to use on the rough tile. Buff back and forth across your flooring to get an even shine.
