One, How to clean wooden bricks
1. Routine cleaning
People often encounter dirt and stains on wood-look tiles in their daily lives. To prevent dirt and stains from accumulating and becoming more difficult to remove, it is recommended to clean these unsightly stains promptly. To achieve better cleaning results, it is advisable to select the appropriate cleaning agent based on the nature of the stains. To prevent the cleaning agent from corroding the wood-look tiles, it is recommended to use neutral cleaning agents, such as dish soap and soap, for cleaning.
2、Stain Removal
Tea, coffee, beer, ice cream, and oily substances can be cleaned using solutions of sodium hydroxide or potassium carbonate.
Ink, cement, and other contaminants are cleaned using solutions of acids such as hydrochloric acid and nitric acid.
For pollutants such as paints and coatings, specific cleaning agents are required, which can be purchased at building material stores.
Two. Precautions for cleaning wood brick.
1、Gap filling/Sealing
When laying wood-effect tiles, gaps are intentionally left. However, this creates a negative issue: gaps easily accumulate dirt and debris, affecting the aesthetics of the wood-effect tiles. Therefore, after completing the wood-effect tile installation and routine cleaning, a waterproof agent can be applied to the gaps using a brush. This will provide waterproofing and prevent mold growth.
2、Wear and tear repair
Wood-pannel tiles laid on the floor often result in scratches. If the scratches on the wood-pannel tile surface are minor, we can repair them by applying toothpaste to the scratched area and gently wiping with a dry cloth. If there are small cracks or damages on the edges or middle of the wood-pannel tiles, the detached pieces can be pasted back with white glue.
3、Moisture-resistant
During certain periods of the year, the humidity levels are particularly high, which can affect wood brick products. Therefore, after cleaning wood brick products, it is best to immediately open windows and doors to allow air circulation and dry the surface of the wood brick products.
4、Antimicrobial properties
Over time, wood-effect tiles may develop mold. The gaps between wood-effect tiles should be cleaned periodically with a cleaning agent.
