To prevent dirt buildup, sweep or vacuum your Porcelano tiles regularly using a soft-bristle attachment. For mopping, use a pH-neutral cleaner diluted in warm water avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can degrade the glaze. Microfiber mops are ideal as they trap dust without scratching the surface.
For grease, grime, or tough stains, a mild dish soap solution with a soft-bristle brush works effectively. Alternatively, steam cleaning (at low to medium settings) sanitizes without chemicals. Always dry the surface afterward to prevent watermarks.
Place felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches.
Use entrance mats to reduce abrasive dirt and sand.
Avoid dragging heavy objects lift instead of sliding them.
Grout lines can accumulate dirt over time. Clean them with a baking soda and water paste, gently scrubbing with a toothbrush. For long-term protection, apply a silicone-based grout sealer annually.
