This is how to professionally deep scrub tiled floors

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.

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.
