You thought about cleaning the tiles on the North Shore by hand, but some tough spots seem to be gazing at you like they own the space. This is a reality bomb: sometimes a simple mop just moves the dirt around. North Shore homes with sandy feet and salty winds are especially likely to have tiles that hide all types of pests. More hints!
Now let's speak about visual cues. Grout lines come first. If the thin lines between the tiles aren't the same color as the tiles, was it ever white? There is a red light. If the grout is yellow, black, or irregular, it means that the mop can't reach deep down to clean. It seems great from a distance, but problems are starting to come up, like brushing just the tops of your teeth.
The scent comes in second. Come into your kitchen or bathroom on a hot day. You smell like wet towels or exercise clothes that have been left in a bag all week. Nothing that smells fresher than mildew or old spills caught in tile pores. That smell won't go away, and a mop isn't enough to get rid of it.
Slipperiness tells a different story as well. If you walk on your bathroom floor and it still feels slick after it dries, it's not simply water. Bacteria, body oils, or soap residue that love moisture are building up. That's the best spot for falls and a clear sign that a bigger cleaning is needed.
Look for dark stains on your tiles, especially in places you use a lot like showers, doors, and sinks. These black or drab spots won't go better with scrubbing. They are often the product of dirt that has built up over time and permanently anchored their roots.
If your tiles still seem unclean, smell bad, feel slippery, or make your allergies act up, a mop is useless. Get in touch with professionals so that your tiles can come back to life. Your hard floors should be seen, not hidden by the mess from yesterday.
