Floor cleaning: Different techniques for wooden floors and tiles.

Wooden floors and tiles each need maintenance according to their material properties. For wood, control moisture and test cleaning agents; for tiles, focus on cleaning grout stains to ensure aesthetics and safety.

Wood floors should mainly be dry-mopped, strictly controlling moisture to avoid warping; tiles can be deeply cleaned in the gaps with neutral cleaners. Do not use hard brushes to clean wood floors, and do not leave excessive standing water after cleaning.

Wood Floor Material Care

  • Use a soft-bristled vacuum or dust mop for daily use
  • Be sure to test cleaning agents on a small, inconspicuous area
  • The mop should be wrung out extremely well, keeping it only slightly damp
