Get the Right Cleaning Products

You’re only as powerful as your tools, and not all cleaning products are created equal. Make sure to choose the best cleaning products for your specific surfaces. For example, you should use pH-neutral cleaners on cement tiles and natural stone surfaces like these specialty cleaners from Stonetech. Since these materials are porous, cleaners like ammonia, bleach, or vinegar could damage the finish. Always read the product label before you start cleaning. Dedicate time to deep clean your backsplashes.

Replace and Upgrade Worn-out Items

No matter how hard you try, certain items, like bathroom towels, oven mitts, and door mats, can’t be salvaged with a good clean. Set aside a spring cleaning budget to replace and upgrade worn-out items to give your home a fresh and elevated look. At LiLi Homes, we make a unique line of home accessories, including oven mitts and aprons, which match select LiLi Tile patterns. These are the perfect treat for completing your thorough spring cleaning. 

Sweep First, Mop Second

You might be eager to break out the mop bucket, but you should take your sweep time cleaning your floors. Remember to sweep first and mop second, whether you’re cleaning ceramic, stone, or cement tiles. Sweeping before mopping removes loose dirt and grime that could scratch the surface of your tile. Plus, making that first sweep will make cleaning much easier when it’s time to mop.   

Plan a Design Refresh

If your home still feels a little dull after scrubbing away a layer of grime, then it might be time to plan a design refresh. Refreshing your home doesn’t mean you have to embark on a full renovation. Instead, you can make easy upgrades during your spring cleaning projects to inject a fresh, new style into your space. Consider upgrading your bathroom or kitchen backsplashes, accenting your fireplace with a new tile surround, or sprucing up the patio with a lively tile pattern.
