Since Mexican tiles are handcrafted each tile is unique, uneven surfaces and not all sides are square so Mexican tile always ends up with a very wide grout joint sometimes up to 1″ inch wide.

In most cases it is recommended to have your Mexican tile flooring stripped, cleaned and resealed every 8 to 10 years as eventually the applied sealer becomes firth and unable to keep clean.

Mexican Tile’s natural, warm colors and durability make it a popular choice for informal rooms, such as the kitchen and sunroom. Even a properly sealed floor eventually acquires layers of soil from foot traffic and frequent spills. Where the sealer has worn away or was never applied, the porous tile holds the dirt deeper than normal household cleaners and mops can reach. Dirt and stains are ground into waxes and acrylic coatings.

DO NOT USE RUBBER PADS UNDER AREA RUGS ON MEXICAN TILE: Under adverse conditions, after strong flooring strippers have been used, it may be necessary to sand Mexican tiles that have black or white dots from a rubber pad embedded in the tile.

‘Mexican Tile Renew’ will use an oscillating hand held sander that does not mark the tile with any circles. A simple sanding will take care of the problem seen above using a small oscillating sander.

Oscillating sanders are easy to control, you can use them to round edges, sand inside corners as well as smooth a flat or rough surface. If stain appears near the surface of sealed clay, gently try sanding away stain. Mexican tile Renew follows this step and by stripping and cleaning and we will re-seal with a sealer that will color enhance the tile.

Mexican Tile Floor Care: Do Not use Vinegar to Clean Your Mexican Tile Floor it Will Ruin the Finish.

Wednesday, October 26, 2016

Mexican Tile Floor Care: Do Not use Vinegar to Clean Your Mexican Tile Floor it Will Ruin the Finish. Vinegar is an acid. Proper weekly maintenance is just as important as getting the right installer in order to extend the life of your Mexican Saltillo tile. “No Mop & Glo and no Endust, no Spic and Span.” Would you put any of these things on your car? Don’t use them on your Mexican tile.”

Do not use vinegar and water a technique often promoted by tile setters after a tile installation and grouting. The vinegar will remove the leftover grout haze but continued use of vinegar, an acid, is harmful to tile and grout. The acid will eat right through the grout.

The best place to find neutral cleaners is the hardware or tile store, not the supermarket.
— The floors should be swept often. The combination of sand and leather soles has the same effect as sandpaper. The floor will be more difficult to clean and keep clean.
— Use a damp mop at least once a week. Your best tools are a 32-ounce cotton rag mop, a rolling mop bucket and a neutral cleaner that doesn’t contain acid, nitrates or phosphates. Be sure to rinse well with clean water.
