1 Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain any bleach and/or acid for cleaning. 2  Acid and ammonia based cleaners may alter grout color. 3  Do not use any oil-based detergents, wax cleaners, or sealants. 4  Do not use agents that contain any dyes or colors on unglazed porcelain tile.
Clean Hardwood Floors. Use boiling water and two teabags to clean hardwood floors. The tannic acid in tea creates a beautiful shine for hardwood floors. Let two teabags steep in the boiling water for a few minutes. Pour the tea into a bucket.Take a soft cloth and wring it out in the tea. The cloth merely needs to be damp, not soaked.lean Ceramic-Tile Floors. Ceramic-tile floors can be cleaned easily with nothing but warm water, but be sure to sweep or vacuum first to remove any loose soil or grit. Never use a sponge mop to clean ceramic-tile floors. It will pull the dirt right into the grout tracks.
