Tile floors add style and durability to a home. With a little bit of effort, you can keep your tile and grout looking great. Use the following tips to care for your flooring and enjoy clean, beautiful tile floors for many years:
- Start with Gentle Cleansers
Begin your tile and grout-cleaning process with some gentle cleansers like vinegar or baking soda. Since they do not have added chemicals, these products are safe to use throughout the home. Mix vinegar with equal parts water or combine baking soda and water to create a paste. You might want to use a toothbrush or another small brush to scrub the grout. After scrubbing, rinse and mop with water and use a cloth or towel to gather up the excess moisture and dirt.
- Move onto the Stronger Stuff
If the gentle cleansers are not working well to clean your floors, you might want to purchase a tile and grout cleaner. You can also use oxygen bleach or hydrogen peroxide to combat really tough stains. Use the same scrubbing process that you would use with the gentle cleansers.
At least once a year, you should have the professional tile and carpet cleaners come in to give the floor a really thorough cleaning. With their deep-cleansing process, they can remove the dirt and grime that has penetrated the surface of the floor. They can also seal and stain the floor to protect its appearance. If your grout has been damaged, they can restore the color. Professional cleanings get rid of bacteria and other hard-to reach dirt, so you can enjoy beautiful floors.

We can also handle pet stain removal from your floors. Call (202) 678-1111 to learn more about our services in the Washington, D.C. area.

The natural fibers in Oriental rugs are a large part of their appeal. Yet, these natural fibers, usually wool, also tend to attract moths, so it is important to mothproof your rug once you take it home from the rug store. Keep reading to learn how to protect your rugs from these pesky insects:
Moths are attracted to rugs that are left in dark hallways and do not see much traffic. It is important to remember to vacuum your rug regularly, even if it does not look dirty. Without these cleanings, moths will lay hundreds of eggs in its fibers. Vacuuming at least once a week will help prevent moths from damaging the rug. A few times a year, you should also vacuum the backside to be sure there are no moths anywhere.
Some rugs are too large to move completely, especially if they are underneath furniture. If there are areas of the rug that you cannot reach with the vacuum, spray an insecticide that will not stain the rug on those areas. Look for pyrethrins as an active ingredient to ensure that the chemicals disappear before they can harm you and your family.
- Stay Away from Moth Balls
Although they serve a useful purpose in other areas of the home, especially near clothing, moth balls, flakes, and crystals are not effective to keep moths away from your rug. If the moths have already laid eggs in the carpet, the moth balls will not get rid of the larvae. Moth balls will leave an unpleasant odor on the rug that can only be removed with a professional Oriental rug cleaning.
