The hot sun, endless barbecues, and kids with sticky fingers and wet towels following them inside are all things that your kitchen and bathroom tiles know all too well. When it’s hot on the North Shore, spills and splashes tend to happen more often. That’s why cleaning your tiles on a regular basis isn’t simply another thing to do; it’s a true game changer for your peace of mind all season long. Visit that site for more information!

Let’s talk about the humidity that is always there. As the air gets thicker in the summer, the chances of mold and mildew growing in your grout also go up. Get a good squeegee and make it a habit to swiftly run it over wet tiles after every shower or clean. It only takes a few minutes, but the difference is significant. Don’t forget to open the windows or turn on an exhaust fan to let air flow and assist the tiles dry out quickly.

Next, you need to keep the kitchen from being too messy. Your kitchen tiles will get a lot of use during family dinners and backyard parties. Clean up spills of food and drink right away, especially sugary or fatty ones, because they soak into the grout and become a smorgasbord for germs and ants. To clean quickly every day, just mix warm water with a little detergent. Avoid using strong chemicals since they will wear out your grout and make your tiles look dull and uneven in no time.

If you see those stubborn foggy spots that make your floors look dull, it’s probably because of mineral buildup from tap water. (A tip: Don’t use vinegar and water on tiles that aren’t stone, because vinegar can hurt natural stone like marble.)

Finally, when summer comes to an end, you might want to hire a professional to undertake a deep clean. Professionals can get rid of dirt and germs that normal cleaning leaves behind, so your floors will be ready for the next round of guests, drips, and desserts in the fall. Taking care of your tiles all summer long means you’ll spend more time at the beach and less time cleaning at home. Isn’t that what North Shore summers are all about?
