Why are my Tile Floors Always Dirty?

You sweep, vacuum, mop, and scrub. Yet, it never seems to make much difference. No matter what you do, you’re always looking down at dirty tile floors. How frustrating! Why is this? And perhaps more importantly, what can you do to change it?

Why are my Tile Floors Always Dirty?

One of the selling points of tile is that it is supposed to require very little time and effort to keep clean. Yet, you feel as if your floor is impossible to keep clean! Your tile kitchen or bathroom floor is always either dirty or becomes dirty really quickly after cleaning. Why is this happening? It could be one of three reasons:

#1 The floor wasn’t installed properly. When your brand new tiles are laid and grouted, there will be some grout left on the surface of the tiles that your installation team must buff off. If they do not do so, a grout haze will remain on the tiles. This film of grout, which is almost invisible, grabs dirt and traps it on the surface of the tile. It’s not invisible anymore! The dirt can be washed away through some elbow grease, but as soon as the tile is dry the cycle begins again…. and again and again!

#2 You’re leaving cleaner on the floor. Another common cause, ironically, is floor cleaner itself. If detergent or anything containing soap is used to wash a dirty tile floor, it needs to be rinsed thoroughly. A film of soap scum can dry on the tiles and trap dirt. Continuing to wash with the same detergent can even make the problem worse! You’re putting effort in to get the floors clean, but the layer of soap scum continues to build up.

#3 You need a professional floor cleaning. You are trying everything you know to clean your floors. The problem could be that you’re simply not getting the floors as clean as a professional team could do. It’s time to bring in the professionals! You moved to Palm Beach County to enjoy the sunny weather and the beach, not to get on your hands and knees to scrub the grout
