Regardless if you’ve had your tiles for one year or 10 years, one thing you’ll have noticed is that getting them to shine like they used to becomes harder with every clean. And why is it?

Overtime, as your tiles become exposed to elements such as stains, dirt and general wear, they will quickly begin to lose their shine. It doesn’t matter how much you pay for cleaning products or how hard you scrub, that lustrous shine they once had will begin to fade.

What can be done to restore your tile’s shine?

Admittedly, if you’re looking to restore your tile’s original shine, without having the right equipment and approach, it can become quite challenging. Sure, there are certain at-home DIY solutions out there involving combinations of vinegar, water and sometimes even ammonia, however, you never really know how this is going to impact your porcelain or ceramic tiles … not to mention the damage it could do to your grout!

If you do have your heart set on first trialling out a DIY solution, we always recommend testing a little bit on a small, inconspicuous area first. If after a day or so you haven’t noticed any damage or discolouration, then you can almost assume that you would be right to go. To be safe though, we generally suggest approaching it with caution as sometimes actual damage can be difficult to see with the eye.

How can a professional tile cleaner help?

Depending on the type of company you use, and their experience (plus equipment), hiring a professional tile cleaner can save you a lot of time and money in restoring the natural shine back to your tiles.

Here are just a few benefits of calling in the professionals:

• Increase the lifespan of your tiles and save money by not needing to replace them as regularly
• Peace of mind knowing that an effective clean that specifically targets germs and bacteria has taken place
• Save time in dong it yourself
• Removes soap scum and stains
• As an added bonus, your grout (which is arguably harder to clean) will also benefit from a professional tile clean!
