Broom or vacuum

Warm water
Steps to Clean and Disinfect Tile Floors:
-
Remove Loose Dirt and Debris: Start by sweeping or vacuuming the tile floor to remove dirt, dust, and debris. This step prevents scratching during mopping.
-
Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix warm water with a few drops of Serenity concentrated floor cleaner. Dilute at up to 50 parts water to one part concentrate. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage grout or tile finishes.
