How do you keep grey tiles clean?
The cleaning process of tiles is more or less similar, whether they are gray, blue, white, or black. But the good part of gray tiles is that they are better at hiding stains- especially when compared to white tiles. And for the cleaning process itself, vacuuming or dry-cleaning could be seen as the first step of floor cleaning. It prevents debris and dirt from accumulating and being carried to the other rooms.
For the second step, mild dish soap, vinegar, and a Ph-neutral floor cleaner can be used. If you want to use vinegar, mix 1/4 a cup of vinegar for every quart of water. Yet if gray tiles are made of natural stones like marble and granite, avoid vinegar. Since it is an abrasive cleaner, it can damage natural stones and their sealing. Rather, use a PH-neutral cleaner or any cleaner specifically produced for natural stones.
As for grout cleaning, you can use a toothbrush or a grout cleaner. You can make a paste with baking soda and water. And to make this cleaning process easier, you can go with large format tiles. Large tiles mean fewer grout joints. This way, you can keep your worries about cleaning grout lines at bay.
And to keep the tiles’ best version in the long term, try to get low-maintenance materials such as porcelain, glass, and ceramics. If you would like to go with statement materials like marble, make sure that they are sealed properly.
