How to Clean a Ceramic Tile Floor the Best and Easiest Way
- 1
First use an O'Cedar mirofiber floor duster to remove dust and debris. - 2
Purchase a Hoover Floormate. Make sure it has the scrubbing brushes attached. One of the cheapest places I have found to purchase this is at Walmart for $137.88. Believe me, it is well worth the cost. Walmart also has the "Bill Me Later" payment option. That would put your payments at $45.96 for three months. Here is the link: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5723667#Payment+Options - 3). Assemble the product according to the product directions.

If you have light colored tile and grout, the best thing I have found to clean it is bleach and water. Make sure your tile is ceramic tile and not Saltillo or other porous material. The surface should have a bit of a shine or glaze. If your tile is darker, use Borax in place of the bleach. - 5). Remove the cleaner reservoir and fill it with HOT water. Add a couple of tablespoons of bleach or borax to the water. Replace the reservoir.
- 6). Begin to clean. Keep your back straight while cleaning. This should not be labor intensive and that is the point - no more hands and knees cleaning. The spinning brushes do all the work. The dirty water is collected in a different reservoir and can be emptied out as needed.
