Specialty Tiles Lake Lindsey

Granite is one of the most sought-after materials used to make into specialty tiles. Lake Lindsey residents know that specialty tiles are often made from rare materials that take a lot of work in order to keep them looking great and long lasting, and this is no different with granite countertops and tiles. It is important for homeowners to know that not all products and cleaning methods are effective at clearing granite tiles and in all actuality, some cleaning products can ruin the grout and tile themselves, and make them look not appealing to many.

Use Non-Abrasive Cleaners on Granite

There are many kinds of cleaning products that someone can get at the store, some of which can be really harsh, and ruin items like granite specialty tiles. Lake Lindsey residents should avoid using abrasive cleaners because the small particles that are used to get a deep cleaning on items can scratch the granite. Abrasive cleaners were designed to be used on metal and machines to clean them more effectively, but they are not acceptable for flooring tiles that are often polished. It is also a good idea to avoid using these abrasive cleaners on the grout of granite tiles as well.

Be Careful of the Tool Used to Clean Your Granite Tiles

While knowing which type of cleaners are safe to use on granite specialty tiles, Lake Lindsey residents should also know that the tool used for cleaning is just as important. Keep in mind that like cleaners, rags, mops, and brooms can all be come in soft and hard forms. Hard bristles can just as easily scratch the surface of granite tiles like the abrasive materials used in some cleaners. It is always best to use a soft cloth such as a microfiber cloth that can easily remove loose dirt and dust. Even the rough side of a sponge is enough to leave a scratch match on granite tiles.
