The most durable floor available — here's how to keep it pristine
Tile is one of the most low-maintenance flooring choices available — it's completely waterproof, stain-resistant, and virtually indestructible. The main maintenance challenge with tile is keeping the grout clean and sealed. LA Flooring provides this guide for all Central Florida tile customers.
Consistent care is the single best way to protect your flooring investment. Follow this routine to keep your tile floors looking like new for years to come.
Quick habits that protect your floors every day
Deeper care steps to do once a month
These common mistakes can permanently damage your flooring. Keep this list handy.
Acid-based cleaners (vinegar, lemon juice) — they etch grout and can dull polished tile
Steel wool or abrasive scrubbers — scratch tile glaze
Ammonia-based cleaners — weaken grout sealer over time
Allowing grout to go unsealed — staining becomes very difficult to reverse
For best results, use products specifically formulated for tile flooring. Our team recommends: Neutral pH tile cleaner (Zep Neutral pH Floor Cleaner or equivalent). For grout: TileLab Grout & Tile Cleaner. Sealer: Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice Gold (apply annually to grout).

Questions our customers ask us most often about maintaining their tile floors — answered by our flooring experts.
Tile is the most forgiving floor when it comes to cleaning — virtually any mess can be cleaned without damaging the tile itself. The key maintenance task is protecting the grout: seal it annually, clean it monthly with a grout brush, and consider switching to epoxy grout in bathrooms where moisture and mold are ongoing concerns. Polished porcelain and natural stone tiles have additional needs — use a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid acids that etch the surface.
