- 1). Sweep the ceramic tile floor with a broom or a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar to remove surface dirt. Do not use a vacuum with a beater bar because the bar will scratch up the tile surface.
- 2). Mop the floor with warm water and a tile and grout cleaner recommended or approved by your tile manufacturer. The products that are safe to use on your particular tile will vary by the material, so double check with your manufacturer if you are unsure.
- 3). Rinse the floor in clean warm water to remove residual soap film. Inspect the surface to determine if you should clean the entire floor with the scrubber. If only some areas have stains, you can simply spot clean those areas with the scrubber.
- 4). Dampen the floor with your cleaning solution once more, or with an equal mixture of water and white vinegar. Depending on the type of floor scrubber you use, you may be able to fill the scrubber with the cleaning solution so that it spreads around the floor as you scrub.
- 5). Plug in the scrubber and set it on the lowest setting. Start in one corner of the room and walk in even passes across the floor, pushing the scrubber ahead of you. Increase the power of the scrubber only if necessary to remove stains. Continue until you scrub the whole floor.
- 6). Rinse the surface once more with plain water to remove residual soap. If you choose, buff the floor dry with a clean, lint-free towel to add a little shine and avoid slipping or sliding on the floor.
