Tile is an unpretentious option for finishing a bathroom or kitchen. But even it needs to be cleaned with special means. Otherwise, it will very quickly become covered with spots, unpleasant stains and scratches. But there are a lot of funds on the market. And so we have compiled a rating of the best tile products. This will help you determine your favorites when choosing a 'chemistry' home.

How to choose the best tile cleaner

In order not to damage the surface of the tile or not get a composition with zero efficiency, you need to pay attention to the following parameters of a quality product:

  1. A type. On sale you can find both powdery options and liquid (gel-like) options. Powders act as abrasives and can scratch the top layer of tiles. We recommend using liquid detergents to clean the tiles. They will definitely not scratch the surface or damage it.
  2. Method of exposure. Depending on the type, the effect that it has also changes. Powder cleaners are often abrasive — they wipe away dirt. But this can damage the top layer of the tile. The chemical method of exposure is based on the reaction of composition and contamination.
  3. Type of reaction. Tile cleaning chemicals can create two types of reactions – acidic and alkaline. The first is convenient when you need to clean some inorganic contamination – for example, rust. If the tile is stained with something organic, then it is better to take 'chemistry' based on alkali (soda).
  4. Coating type. An important parameter – it depends on which product to purchase. If your floor or walls are tiled with natural stone containing limestone, it should not be treated with acidic agents.
  5. Application location. They are conventionally divided into kitchen and bathroom. The latter not only cleanse, but also slightly 'renew' the surface – making the colors brighter and more beautiful.

In our ranking, we have collected only the best products in the form of liquids. They will not damage even the most delicate surface.

How to use tile products correctly

Special means for cleaning tiles, first of all, strong chemicals. Therefore, it cannot be used thoughtlessly and carelessly. Otherwise, you can damage yourself and the coating. Here are some tips to help you avoid ruining your tiles while cleaning or to make your job easier:

  1. When working with any means, we recommend the use of gloves, a respirator and goggles to avoid injury and unpleasant consequences.
  2. Do not use abrasive powders on the tiles. Especially glossy. After several such cleanings, the surface will become unusable and begin to deteriorate. And, accordingly, it becomes more dirty and more difficult to clean.
  3. Try not to use acidic products if there is grout in the tile joints. They can destroy the composition, and as a result, the grout will look disgusting. There is another solution – to treat the seams with epoxy paint or any other compound that can protect the composition from acid damage.
  4. Do not use acidic tile cleaners if your tile contains any form of lime – acid will cause the surface to deteriorate.
  5. Alkaline chemicals are less effective, but they are gentle on the tile. But it is important that the composition does not contain abrasive particles – for example, insoluble soda or sand.
  6. Be sure to test the new product on an inconspicuous area of ​​the tiled floor. This will help you find out exactly how the tile will react to the composition.

By following these tips, you can easily keep your tiles intact. And don't hurt yourself by breathing in vapors or irritating your hands.
