Terracotta tiles are great because they can blend in with different design ideas.

Maintenance and Care

Terracotta floor tiles bring a welcoming and culturally rich aesthetic to homes and business spaces, evoking the cozy charm of European farmhouses and countryside estates. Their earthy tones, ranging from deep reds and browns to soft tans and creams, effortlessly complement various interior styles. Crafted from natural clay, these tiles offer a stone-like appearance and require mindful care to preserve their beautiful character.

• Clean terracotta floors with a vacuum or sweep to get rid of any loose dust and dirt.
• Wipe the floor with a damp mop to clean it. Be sure to avoid harsh or acidic cleaners, as these can harm the tile surface.
• Clean backsplash tiles with a microfiber cloth and mild pH-neutral cleaner
• Acidic cleaners like those with vinegar, acids, or ammonia should not be used on your stone.

You can easily preserve the beauty of your terracotta floors for many years by implementing straightforward maintenance practices. Regularly clean them, apply a sealant for protection, and take steps to avoid future damage. These simple actions will ensure their lasting appeal and durability.

Sealing:

Protect your terracotta tiles by sealing them. This simple step prevents stains and moisture from ruining them, helping them last for decades. Sealing also enhances their natural beauty. Plan to reseal them every few years, based on how much wear and tear they experience.
