Thanks to the lockdown triggered by the COIVID 19 virus, the professional cleaners might not be able to come down to your place to conduct the cleaning. Hence, in this scenario, you need to opt for some simple DIY tips that will help you to carry out tile and grout cleaning.

Here on this page, we discuss some easy tips that will help you to make the tiles and grout of your bathroom or kitchen clean and sparkling.

Do the cleaning every day 

Do not wait for the professionals to turn up. You do not when the lockdown will be eased and everything will be as normal as before. Hence, the best step is to do a little cleaning every day, so that you do not have to clean too much of mess when you finally decide to do all the tile and grout cleaning in Melton all by yourself.  By doing so, you will be saved from the trouble of doing deep cleaning, which may be a tall ask for you without the right tools and knowledge of the techniques that the professionals follow. 

Vacuuming the Tiles

This is the first step that you need to start the cleaning with. To prevent the tiles of the floor of your kitchen or bathroom from taking a dull look and feel. Vacuuming will help in the elimination of loose debris, hairs from the pet, and the dirt from the tiles. Now the same rule stands for the tiles of the floors as well as the walls.

Scrubbing the Surfaces

This is the second wherein you need to sprinkle quality tile cleaning powder or detergent for about 5 minutes or so, before starting to swipe. You need to spray the tile cleaner all around and leave to fight with all the grime, loosening them from the surface, so much so that when you finally scrub, the grime comes up, leaving the tiles and the grout sparkling clean. However, make sure to use a non–abrasive scrubber while scrubbing. After you are done with the scrubbing, clean the tiles thoroughly.

While taking on the grout, you can scrub them with the help of an old, used toothbrush, as it will be able to scrub the narrow grout channels thoroughly, removing the grout and the moss out of them.  

Drying the entire Surface

Sitting water always causes stubborn water spots on the tiles. Therefore, it is imperative that leave the walls or the floor to dry once you are done with the cleaning. Besides, wet floors can very well be safety hazards, more so for the elders and the kids and toddlers. Hence, make sure they are left clean and dry once the cleaning is done. Dry them by using a lint-free piece of cloth.

One good way of keeping them clean and minimising the need to summon the professionals for tile and grout cleaning in Sunbury is using mats and rugs. You can use colour-coded, dry mats, or rags to avoid contamination of the floor surfaces by residual surface bacteria and germs.

Carry on these practices at least till the situation normalises and once again the professionals are just a phone call away once you book the service call.
