Terracotta Floor Aftercare
Terracotta floors reward gentle, regular maintenance. Follow these simple habits to keep your restored floor clean and vibrant for years.
-
π§΄ Stick to Neutral Cleaners
Use mild pH-neutral products designed for natural clay surfaces. Avoid acids, bleach, or detergents that can damage sealers.
-
π« Limit Moisture
Mop lightly and dry promptly. Standing water may cause patches or efflorescence to reappear on unglazed tiles.
-
β οΈ Avoid Steam Cleaning
Steam forces moisture into porous terracotta and can lead to discolouration or lifting. Stick to low-moisture cleaning instead.
-
π Reseal Every 12β24 Months
We recommend resealing annually in high-traffic areas or every two years elsewhere to maintain colour and protection.
-
π§Ή Prevent Grit Damage
Place mats at entrances and sweep regularly with a soft brush to prevent fine dust and sand from dulling the surface.
-
π Book a Maintenance Visit
We offer quick checkups across Bristol to refresh sealers, remove stains, and keep your terracotta looking rich and balanced.
