Howdo you make granite tile floors to shine?
Question:I mop and mop my granite tile floor to shine and it still comes out dull. I used bleach that didn't work please help.
Answers:
You never want to use bleach on granite. Same with 409 and all those other cleaners you would use on other kinds of countertops. Your best bet is to have your floors thoroughly cleaned and resealed, then start from scratch using a cleaner made specifically for granite. (One of the best is called revitalizer. smells good too.)
lemon juice and bleach
Bleach is not for granite floors..it leaves a dull film.. I live in Spain, and a lot of the floors here are marble, or what we call Terrazzo which is not really granite, but compressed stone.. Clean them with a mild solution of vinegar and water, that will cut the film left from other solutions.. you can try a lite water soluble wax solution, mopped on and then possibly buffed to bring out the shine.. but this type of floor will get dull over time naturally as it is stone.. Most women here dry mop their floors daily or sweep and then wet mop daily to keep grit from being ground into the floor underfoot during normal usage.
Normal household grit, dust and water are the enemy to this type of floor.
