II. Clean and Bright Maintenance Method for Vitrified Tiles
1. Regularly clean and maintain.
Actually, glass tiles, just like carpets and wooden flooring, also require regular cleaning. However, the cleaning methods are relatively simple. Using natural cleaning agents is the best approach. Generally, it is recommended to clean glass tiles every 1 to 2 weeks. Use different cleaning agents for different types of contamination to maintain the tiles' appearance.
2、If stained, clean promptly.
Many people believe that glazed bricks are easy to clean, so they often "leave them as is" when they get dirty. However, in reality, many dirt and grime particles can undergo new chemical reactions in the air after landing, and may eventually penetrate the glazed brick, making it impossible to clean. This can cause irreversible damage to the glazed brick. Therefore, it is important to clean glazed bricks immediately after they get dirty.
4. Regularly apply a protective coating to maintain its luster.
"Not only flooring requires waxing, but also glass tiles. Waxing glass tiles not only enhances their water resistance and stain resistance, but also protects them from abrasion and impact. Furthermore, it can make the glass tiles in your home appear even more shiny. Typically, glass tiles only need to be waxed once every 3 months, or four times a year, to maintain their pristine appearance.
