Maintenance Is Also Important..!
Most of these natural slate tiles can last a long time; however, your responsibility as a homeowner doesn’t end with the installation. You need to ensure these tiles are properly taken care of to look good for decades.
• You need to sweep the tiled surface every day, especially during the initial few months after the installation. These tiles could go through something called spalling – small sharps flaking off the surface. However no need to worry, as this issue will diminish once the tiles have settled down properly.
You can use a gentle mop and a natural cleaning solution containing lemon and vinegar (preferably with pH neutral) to wipe off whatever dust and debris settles over the floor surface.
• You also need to think about its sealing (a common requirement when flooring with natural stones) to avoid staining, scratching and improving its water repellent qualities. However, this is only needed once a year, and so it won’t be too much of an issue.
• Another wonderful slate tile maintenance trick to try out is making a poultice with hydrogen peroxide and flour. Just spread it uniformly over the stain and let it settle down overnight. Do cover it up using a plastic sheet.
Then remove the plastic cover and the poultice using a gentle scraper. That being said; you need to wipe it more than once to get it off the surface.
