If you own your own hotel, it is important that you keep it clean for your guests. One area that can easily become dirty is the bathroom, and this includes the tile on the floors and/or walls. If a guest walks into the bathroom and sees dirty tiles or tiles in need of repair, they would likely leave bad reviews about your hotel online. To prevent this from happening, below are some cleaning and repairing tips to keep your tiles in great condition.
Cleaning Tile
The first thing you should do is to heat things up. Heating the surfaces of the tile can improve the effectiveness of alkaline cleansers. To do this, fill the tub with a few inches of water using the water as hot as you can get it, close the bathroom door, and wait about five to 10 minutes. The steam from the water will loosen any dirt on the tiles. You can also turn the shower on to get a lot of steam in the room.
After this time, spray antibacterial cleaner on the tiles. Spray the tiles thoroughly and then use a cloth or a sponge to spread the antibacterial cleanser over the entire surface. Let the cleaner sit for five to 10 minutes to give it time to do its job.
Use a scrub brush to scrub the tiles You can also use a non-scratch abrasive pad. When you are finished, rinse the cleanser off the tiles thoroughly. Once you are sure all the cleanser is off, dry the tiles with a dry, clean cotton cloth
Repairing Tile
If you notice any kind of chips, cracks, or broken pieces of tile in the bathroom, you need to get it repaired. Instead of doing this yourself, hire a contractor to repair it for you. This will ensure it is done correctly and the bathroom will look good as new when they are finished.
If there are small chicks or cracks, a tile repair company like Marble Tec Systems can resurface, refinish, and then glaze the tiles when they are finished. If there is a lot of damage, they can replace broken tiles for you. If the tile is very old, you should consider asking them to replace all the tiles for you. This will be an expense but will save you money in the long run because you are less likely to have problems with guest satisfaction.
If you have a lot of rooms in your hotel, you should hire a cleaning service to clean the tiles, as well as deep clean the rest of the rooms for you. This will make things much easier on you and the cleaning service can come to your hotel regularly. This will be of great help to your housekeeping staff.
