Before I list the following step by step instructions to clean floor tiles, I must first say, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S SUGGESTED CLEANING MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES.Â
If your BMW stopped running, you wouldn’t take it to a Ford dealership. Same rules apply. Follow the instructions of the maker. Okay.
In other circumstances, follow these instructions
- Get all of the material and anything else you think you might need. Copy this list and check it off.
- At the job site remove dry debris with your choice of vacuum, broom and dust pan or dust mop. Which ever your prefer.
- Put on all protective gear, gloves, shoe sole covers, and anything else you may need.
- Protect the surroundings like walk-off areas and carpeted rooms.
- Mix floor stripper according to the manufacturer.
- Apply mixture to the floor and use the rotary machine accordingly.
- Once you’ve used the machine, but the floor is still wet, scrape anything remaining.
- At this time, scrub the base boards and any hard to reach places
- Use wet vac to extract solution, quickly!
- Rinse the floors and base boards with loose cool water. Empty bucket. Rinse again with a little vinegar in the mop water.
- Dry all floors with air mover or fans.
- Apply sealer and/or floor finish according to the manufacturer. Use fans to dry between coats.

Bam! That’s it.

Over time, you’ll become better with technique – which happens the more you strip and wax or deep scrub floor tile.Â
