1、Specialized cleaning paste.Polished tiles on floors are susceptible to staining from oil, water stains, soap scum, etc. Using a specialized multi-functional cleaning paste can maintain the cleanliness and shine of the polished tile surface. To remove stains, use an old toothbrush to apply a small amount of cleaning paste, and then brush the surface with a waterproof agent to prevent water penetration and fungal growth. Soap scum on polished tiles should first be rinsed with warm water to dissolve the scum, and then gently wiped away with a brush.
2. Salt and vinegar mixture cleaning.Dissolve a small amount of salt to create a 6% salt solution, and mix with a small amount of vinegar. This will result in particularly clean and bright polished tiles after cleaning. White vinegar also has excellent antibacterial properties and, when used for cleaning, can help maintain the air quality and environment in your home.
3. Daily cleaning methods.Daily cleaning methods for polished tiles at home involve adding a small amount of laundry detergent or cleaning agent to the mopping water, followed by regular floor cleaning. This will result in a very clean surface. However, it is important to rinse the floor with clean water after cleaning to prevent slipping due to residual foam and to avoid damage to the flooring caused by unrinsed alkaline cleaning agents. If you have purchased unsealed white polished tiles, applying a floor wax to the tiles can prevent oil from entering.

1、 Stains from tea, fruit, coffee, vinegar, and shoe marks can be removed using a diluted sodium hypochlorite solution (bleaching agent). After soaking for 20-30 minutes, wipe clean with a cloth. For stains that have penetrated the substrate for a longer period, soaking may require several hours.
2. Stains formed by ink, anti-mold wax, and mold: Use a diluted solution of sodium hypochlorite (bleach). Apply the solution to the stains and let it soak for a few minutes before wiping clean.
3. For cement, scale, rust, and rust stains, use hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid solution, wiping repeatedly.
4. Remove paint, oil, oily markers, and surface anti-sticking waxes using alkaline cleaning agents or organic solvents (such as acetone or triethylene glycol).
