Tile Floor Cleaning

Tip: Oil Stain Removal from Tile
To remove oil stains from tile, the newest technology uses peroxide and detergents to penetrate the soiled area to remove the stain and deactivate the odor. Simply spray a product such as or Bio-OX Citrus Concentrate on the soiled area, and then allow it to penetrate for approximately five minutes. Rinse with clean water. If the odor persists, repeat the process. You can sprinkle baking soda on the area while cleaning with Bio-OX for a more abrasive action. If the stain persists, try making a paste of baking soda and Bio-OX or baking soda and water. Allow it to sit overnight, then clean with a grease cutting dish detergent and water. Rinse well.
