This&nbsp;<strong>type of tile<\/strong>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<strong>durable, long-lasting, and waterproof.&nbsp;<\/strong>This makes it an obvious choice to use in wetter areas of the home, like kitchens and bathrooms. Other benefits of porcelain tile installation include the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>BACTERIA RESISTANCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain tile surfaces are low-maintenance. They are a non-porous material which is naturally inhospitable to bacteria and hazardous moulds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Their impermeable quality blocks the potential passage of harmful microbes<\/strong>&nbsp;to the tile\u2019s substrate area. This makes them suitable for public places, such as hospitals, where intensive cleaning is necessary. However, they\u2019re great for homes and businesses, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This hardness, combined with the natural resistance of glazing, makes them tough enough to withstand daily cleaning with harsh chemicals and sanitizing solvents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>While you don\u2019t&nbsp;<em>have<\/em>&nbsp;to use harsh chemicals (which we\u2019ll explain below), it is tough enough to withstand frequent cleaning with sanitizing solvents<\/strong>&nbsp;in professional or medical settings where that level of cleaning is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>HYPOALLERGENIC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/porcelain-floor-tiles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Porcelain tile is an ideal flooring<\/a><\/strong> option for those who suffer from allergies due to its hypoallergenic properties.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The material&nbsp;contains&nbsp;<em>no allergens<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;that could trigger respiratory symptoms in those with allergies or asthma. Plus,&nbsp;<strong>the surface blocks allergens in the environment from sticking or accumulating on the surface,<\/strong>&nbsp;effectively avoiding potential allergen exposure in the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WATER RESISTANCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Porcelain tile is known for its remarkable water resistance, which makes it an ideal choice for areas prone to spills or moisture. Unlike other tiles, porcelain can withstand excess moisture without staining or deteriorating quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore,&nbsp;<strong>porcelain has the highest waterproofing rating of any natural material.<\/strong>&nbsp;If you notice product descriptions, you\u2019ll see it\u2019s listed as \u201c<em>impervious<\/em>.\u201d This means the&nbsp;<strong>water absorption rate<\/strong>&nbsp;is less than 0.5%, so the liquid won\u2019t seep into the surface and damage your tiles. Basically,&nbsp;<strong>this is why it\u2019s so great for bathrooms and kitchens.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>EASY CLEANING<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What is the biggest benefit of&nbsp;<strong>installing porcelain tiles<\/strong>&nbsp;for most homeowners?&nbsp;<strong>It\u2019s remarkably easy to clean, so you won\u2019t have to reach for harsh chemicals. Generally, water alone works great for routine cleaning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, porcelain tile surfaces are well-protected against different types of wear and tear, such as stains, scratches, scrapes, dents, or cuts. As a material, porcelain tile is hefty and durable yet requires minimal effort to keep it looking good. It doesn\u2019t get much better than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW OFTEN TO CLEAN PORCELAIN TILE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, give your porcelain tile&nbsp;<strong>a quick once-over at least once a week.<\/strong>&nbsp;This will prevent the build-up of dirt and grime that can erode the finish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you planning on cleaning weekly?&nbsp;<strong>Start by sweeping or vacuuming away dust, dirt, and crumbs to clean the surface. Then wipe down the tile with clean water.<\/strong>&nbsp;Water is often enough to remove lighter soiling without using other cleaners.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, mopping is acceptable, too, if necessary. Just make sure that the floor has been swept first. Then use a flat mop rather than a sponge mop to avoid pushing excess water into the grout lines. Finally, let the floor fully dry so that no lingering liquid remains on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT\u2019S THE BEST WAY TO CLEAN PORCELAIN TILE?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The type of tile can dictate the best way to clean it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example,&nbsp;<strong>unglazed or unpolished porcelain tiles respond better to mild soaps and warm water mixtures, while glazed or polished tile often does well with a commercially available porcelain cleaner.<\/strong>&nbsp;Textured porcelain tiling might require extra scrubbing to remove dirt and debris from the grouting between the tiles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of your type, cleaning your porcelain tile regularly will minimize wear and tear while keeping your interior spaces fresh and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO CLEAN PORCELAIN TILE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning porcelain tile isn\u2019t complicated. However, as mentioned above, your cleaning method varies depending on the type of tile you\u2019re cleaning. Follow along as we guide you step-by-step through how to clean&nbsp;porcelain tile, depending on the type you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_669037842-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"how to clean porcelain tile\" class=\"wp-image-66865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_669037842-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_669037842-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_669037842-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_669037842.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UNPOLISHED OR UNGLAZED TILE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Unglazed porcelain tiles are more prone to staining than glazed ones,<\/strong>&nbsp;so you should expect to clean them more often to avoid discolorations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vacuuming and sweeping<\/strong>&nbsp;will help remove loose dirt and debris between tiles and grout lines. Focus on one section at a time (about two or four feet square) while you\u2019re doing this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll want to cover the tile surface with a&nbsp;<strong>vinegar-and-water mixture or a commercial cleanser.<\/strong>&nbsp;Why these two types of solutions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The vinegar-and-water solution helps break down grease and oil residue while effectively disinfecting. In contrast,&nbsp;<strong>the commercial cleanser should be used sparingly<\/strong>&nbsp;due to potential discoloration of grout lines if overused \u2014&nbsp;<em>especially on light-coloured tiles like white or cream ones!&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once it\u2019s soaked for a while, use a&nbsp;<strong>soft-bristle brush<\/strong>&nbsp;to remove any particularly stubborn spots without causing damage to the tile itself.&nbsp;<strong>Rinsing with hot water<\/strong>&nbsp;helps finish off by removing all traces of dirt left behind during cleaning sessions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally,&nbsp;<strong>dry the tile<\/strong>&nbsp;properly. Finishing up with a proper drying session using towels or microfiber cloths ensures no moisture is left behind. While the tile is water resistant, the areas around it might not be, so it\u2019s best to dry everything just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POLISHED OR GLAZED TILE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the right combination of tools and products is important for thoroughly cleaning polished or glazed porcelain tile. Begin by&nbsp;<strong>sweeping and vacuuming the area to remove dirt and debris, then dust-mopping the tile with a dry mop.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then use a&nbsp;<strong>hot water-dampened mop to loosen heavy soil<\/strong>&nbsp;before tackling stubborn stains with a heavy-duty cleanser. If you prefer something all-natural, stick to the vinegar-and-water mixture mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mop once more with hot water before the cleaner dries, and then use either a clean towel or microfiber cloth to dry the tile<\/strong>&nbsp;surface taking care to rub out any water spots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all moisture has been removed,&nbsp;<strong>buff the surface using cheesecloth for an extra shine.<\/strong>&nbsp;To ensure lasting results, carry out these steps regularly on your porcelain tiles, adhering to the manufacturer\u2019s instructions where applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code --><span class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\" id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c\"><span class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c\" id=\"hs-cta-42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c\"><!--[if lte IE 8]><div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div><![endif]--><a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/6786297\/42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" id=\"hs-cta-img-42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c\" style=\"border-width:0px;\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/6786297\/42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c.png\"  alt=\"New call-to-action\"\/><\/a><\/span><script charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/js.hscta.net\/cta\/current.js\"><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> hbspt.cta.load(6786297, '42b78590-1a17-4d0f-b3b5-4857d2eeb49c', {\"useNewLoader\":\"true\",\"region\":\"na1\"}); <\/script><\/span><!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TEXTURED TILE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure a brilliant and sparkling clean textured porcelain tile, follow these steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As with other types of porcelain tile, you\u2019ll want to begin by&nbsp;<strong>sweeping the area twice with a soft-bristle broom.&nbsp;<\/strong>Sweep in both straight and diagonal directions.&nbsp;<strong>Then use a vacuum cleaner<\/strong>&nbsp;to remove any dirt or particles from the surface.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, make your&nbsp;<strong>water and vinegar solution<\/strong>&nbsp;as mentioned in the cleaning instructions above. Spray it or spread it across your textured tile. Allow the tile to soak for five to ten minutes before scrubbing using a soft-bristled brush or an old toothbrush.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After that,&nbsp;<strong>rinse the cleaning solution with hot water before going over the floor with a damp mop. Finally, dry the porcelain tile<\/strong>&nbsp;with a clean towel or a microfiber cloth as soon as possible to prevent water spots from taking hold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make this a routine, and you\u2019ll keep your porcelain tile looking shiny and new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">HOW TO DISINFECT PORCELAIN TILE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cleaning your tiles is one thing. But what if you need to disinfect them? Fortunately, you don\u2019t need harsh chemicals or solutions to disinfect porcelain tiles.&nbsp;<strong>Warm water and an appropriate non-abrasive cleaner are all you need most of the time.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For situations requiring a greater level of cleanliness, such as when dealing with mould in the grout lines or silicone sealant around the edges of your tiles,\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lithofin.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">you can use stronger disinfectants and cleaning product<\/a>s without fear of staining or damaging the surface of the tiles.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_622109126-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"how to clean porcelain tile\" class=\"wp-image-66856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_622109126-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_622109126-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_622109126-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rubi.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/AdobeStock_622109126.jpg 1181w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you unsure which one to use? Consulting with professionals is the best way forward. It is never recommended to mix chemicals, especially if you are uncertain of which to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WHAT&nbsp;<em><strong>NOT<\/strong><\/em>&nbsp;TO DO WHEN CLEANING PORCELAIN TILE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above, porcelain tiles are incredibly durable.&nbsp;However, you\u2019ll want to avoid certain cleaners and techniques to ensure the tile and grout remain pristine. This doesn\u2019t just apply to home projects. That\u2019s the case with professional tiling, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Namely,&nbsp;<strong>ammonia or bleach-based solutions can cause grout staining. Oil detergents and wax-based products can also affect the tile\u2019s integrity.<\/strong>&nbsp;You\u2019ll also want to&nbsp;<strong>steer clear of cleaners containing dyes or colouring if you\u2019re cleaning unglazed tiles. Steel wool is also a major no-no<\/strong>&nbsp;when cleaning porcelain, as small fragments can become lodged in the tile and cause rust stains over time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, avoid hard-bristled scrub brushes or anything else abrasive. These can leave scratches on the surface of your beautiful porcelain tile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">NEED HELP INSTALLING PORCELAIN TILES?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While learning how to clean porcelain tile ensures your tiles stay shiny for a long time, these tips won\u2019t help much if you can\u2019t finish your tile installation project.
