Vitrified tiles have become the go-to choice for modern flooring across Indian homes and commercial spaces. Their high-gloss finish, stain resistance, durability, and minimal maintenance needs make them a top contender in the world of flooring. But like any elegant surface, maintaining that “just-installed” shine over the years requires a bit of regular care.
At ARM Global, we design vitrified tiles that are as easy to maintain as they are beautiful. This guide will walk you through simple yet effective ways to keep your vitrified floor tiles looking as good as new-for years to come.
Why Vitrified Tiles Are Easy to Maintain
Vitrified tiles are made by firing a mixture of clay, silica, and feldspar at high temperatures, creating a dense, non-porous surface with a glass-like sheen. Unlike natural stones or wood flooring, these tiles resist stains, moisture, and wear-making them ideal for Indian homes, kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.
Benefits of ARM Global’s Vitrified Tiles:
- High-gloss or matte finishes with premium appeal
- Non-porous surface that resists stains and water
- Easy to clean with basic home products
- Long-lasting with minimal wear and tear
- Suitable for residential and commercial applications
Daily Tile Cleaning Tips to Retain Shine
1. Dry Sweep or Vacuum
Use a soft-bristle broom or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dust and debris. This prevents micro-scratches that can dull the tile surface over time.
2. Use a Damp Mop
Follow up with a microfiber mop and warm water to remove any fine dust. Avoid using dirty water or heavily soiled mops, as they can leave residue and streaks.
3. Skip Harsh Cleaners
Avoid using acidic or alkaline cleaners like vinegar, bleach, or ammonia. Instead, use a pH-neutral tile cleaner or mild floor detergent diluted in warm water for best results.
Deep Cleaning Vitrified Tiles (Weekly or Biweekly)
In high-traffic zones like kitchens, entryways, and commercial areas, dirt buildup may require deeper cleaning:
- Mix a pH-neutral floor cleaner with warm water.
- Mop thoroughly, focusing on grout lines and corners.
- Wipe again with clean water to remove any residue.
Quick Tip: For extra shine, buff the tiles dry with a soft microfiber cloth after mopping.
How to Handle Stains and Spills
While vitrified tiles are stain-resistant, quick cleanup is key to maintaining their gloss:
Type of Spill What to Do
- Coffee, tea, juice Wipe immediately with warm soapy water
- Oil or greasy stains Use a tile cleaner with degreasing properties
- Footprints or smudges Use a microfiber mop with mild detergent
- Avoid letting spills dry on the surface as they may leave a dull film.
Don’t Ignore Grout Lines
- Grout lines can trap dirt and become discolored if not maintained:
- Clean grout with a soft brush and tile-safe cleaner
- Avoid hard scrubbing that can erode the grout
- Use a grout sealant after installation to prevent staining
Preventive Maintenance Tips
- Place doormats at entrances to reduce dirt brought in from outside
- Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches
- Lift, don’t drag, heavy objects like sofas or cabinets across the floor
- Avoid footwear with hard soles or high heels on indoor vitrified flooring
- These small actions can make a big difference in keeping your tiles shiny.
