When do terracotta tiles need cleaning or restoring?
Terracotta tiles should be dusted and swept often to avoid damage. To maximise the life of the tiles and keep them looking great for longer customers should consider a semi-regular professional clean. A deep clean and polish will clean the floor more thoroughly and bring out the natural colour of the terracotta.
How often should you book a professional to clean your terracotta tile floor? One of the most important things to consider is how much foot traffic the floor gets. Terracotta flooring in commercial premises and busy areas should be professionally cleaned regularly to protect the tiles. In the home, once or twice yearly may be enough.
