In the care of floor tiles, you need to know several basic rules:
1) Care should be carried out not only behind the surface of the tile, but also behind the seams. When wet cleaning using detergents, it is important to avoid compositions with strong and aggressive chemical additives on an acidic basis;
2) do not clean the surface with metal brushes, since they can scratch the surface of the tile and clean the grout from the seams;
3) ceramic tiles can split if a heavy solid object falls on it, so it is advisable to cover it with litter or rug.
Ceramic tiles in the bathroom — in a raw room where the temperature often changes — can last a long time, but it will require special care.
