Believe it or not, most household floor cleaning products are just not designed for tile and grout.  Worse, using the wrong tile and grout cleaning and sealing products and methods will actually ruin the beauty of your tile floors. Using floor cleaners that aren't designed for tile and grout - like bleach, ammonia, soap-based cleaners or acid-based cleaners will quickly ruin a beautiful tile floor.

You might think you have been extra careful in maintaining your tile or stone floors, but, depending on your type of stone, your regular maintenance routine may be etching your stone and creating more stains.

Most people don't pay attention to the chemical composition of their cleaning products, but they should start!

The same goes for your carpeted floors. You wouldn't want to wash your hair with laundry detergent or clean your dishes with only perfumed hand soap, right? Similarly, various surfaces require various maintenance.

When in doubt, always check the manufacturer's instructions that came with your carpet or tile, or contact your Gator Clean professionals for advice to save the life of your floors.
