How Cleaning the Buff Floor?

/in /by

Use a broom or dust mop to remove any debris. Start in the corner of the room and slowly sweep the entire room. Make sure you get the floor as clean as possible. Otherwise, you risk buffing dirt into the finish. Over time, buffing a dirty floor can permanently alter the color of your floor finish, turning it a dingy yellow color.


You can also use a vacuum to suck up the dirt you swept. Use a vacuum attachment meant for your type of flooring. Wash the floor with a wet mop to ensure it’s completely clean. For best results, dip the mop into a bucket of soapy warm water. Then, start in the corner of the room and slowly work your way back toward the entrance. As you mop, make short, even strokes to clean the floor.


Rinse your mop when it starts to look dirty. Use a floor cleaner that’s formulated for the type of flooring in your home. Allow the floor to dry for 2 hours or use a fan to dry it faster. Touch the floor to make sure it’s dry before you move on to buffing. Don’t try to buff a wet floor because you will be applying a buffing solution, which is also a liquid.


If the floor is already wet, there will be too much liquid, which will make you need to change your buffing pad more often. Turning on a fan will help you dry the floor more quickly. A ceiling fan or box fan will work best.


The microfiber cloth shouldn’t damage your floor, no matter what material it is. Keep in mind that buffing a floor typically requires a lot of pressure, so you may not see much difference if you don’t press down very hard.

How to Wax a Floor?

/in /by


Waxing or finishing your floor protects it, creates a no-slip surface, and adds an attractive shine. As long as you apply it correctly, and don’t mind topping up the wax once or twice a year, you can create a durable, beautiful surface. Where waxing once required you to rub a paste into the floor on your hands and knees, all but the most dedicated now choose a no-buff wax that you can simply mop onto the floor.


If you don’t want to strip a previous finish, you can use a water-based silicone polish instead of waxing. Simply sweep the floor, then apply several even layers of the polish with a mop. Remove all furniture and objects from the floor. Determine where you plan to wax and remove everything from that area. Put up signs in public areas to let people know the area will be off limits for at least 8 hours.


To be extra safe, tape down the edge of any adjacent area to protect it from the wax, especially carpet areas. Determine whether you need to strip your floor. If your floor has not previously been treated with wax or finish, you can skip straight to Waxing the Floor. If it was treated with wax but the old layer only suffers from scratches, not discoloration, you can also skip straight to waxing.


Otherwise, you should continue on to Stripping the Old Finish section to learn how to strip the previous treatment away. Use a mop to apply floor stripping solution from the far end of the floor to the exit. Stripping solution makes the floor slippery, so plan your route in advance to avoid having to walk over it.


Scrub the floor evenly and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, but do not allow it to dry. Try to agitate the finish with your mop as you apply the stripping solution. The stripping solution should change color as it removes and mingles with the finish over the next few minutes If you are stripping a large floor, do so in small sections so the stripping solution doesn’t dry.

How to Change the Color of Grout?

/in /by

Grout can easily become discolored and dingy over time – something that is displeasing to many people. Rather than suffering through dealing with unattractive dark lines between your tiles, you can take action to change the color of your grout. Although neither is especially timely, you can choose to stain your grout or to give it a deep-cleaning.

Seal the grout. Some grouts are a combination of grout/sealant, but typically you’ll have to apply a special oil-based sealant to finish up your grout. This is especially important for areas that come into frequent contact with water (such as in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink). Follow the directions that accompany your sealant of choice as you paint over the grout.

Finish up. When you’re happy with your newly cleaned (and colored!) grout, you can do a final wipe down to remove any leftover cleaner. It is good to apply a sealant to your grout once a year, so when applicable apply an oil-based sealant to protect your grout.

Rinse and dry each section immediately. As soon as you’re done washing with your solution, switch sponges. Repeat the same process with fresh water. Pat the area dry with a soft cloth or towel, replenishing them as needed.

Get rid of any set in stains. When you finish cleaning, look for any stains that did not come out with a routine cleaning. Use a butter knife to gently ply any set in gunk off the floor. If any residue is left behind after removing the gunk, wipe it away with your rag and cleaner. Never use anything sharper than a butter knife. Remember, abrasive cleaners can harm your floor.

How Cutting Installed Tiles?

/in /by

Cover your counter and put on a mask and safety goggles. Cover your counter with plastic sheeting to protect it and make cleaning up easier. Put on a pair of safety goggles to protect your eyes against dust. Finally, put on a mask suitable for working with fine particles. Most dust masks and respirator masks come with a description of what they are used for, such as sanding dust, aerosol, etc. Choose the one for dust.

Make the tile where you wish to cut it. A pencil may work just fine on a slate or ceramic tile, but if the tile is glazed, you should switch to a marker. Try to be as precise as possible for this step. Installing a new electrical fixture will require you to get inside the wall. Mounting a towel rack does not.

Cut along the top, bottom, and side edges. If you need to get inside the wall, then you should cut through the dry wall as well. A dremel rotary cutter with a diamond tile blade will work for most tiles. If your blade can’t go around the corners, skip them for now.

Use an oscillating cutter to cut through tight corners. While a dremel rotary tool will work for most lines, it won’t work on tight corners. For that, you should switch to an oscillating cutter instead. You may have to experiment before you find the right one for your type of tile. A multi-surface blade seems to work better than a tile blade, however.

Pull the tile away. Wedge a thin knife or spatula behind the tile and pop it out. If you had to cut through the wall, try not to lose anything inside the wall. Your hole is now complete and ready to finish.

How to Fixing Grout Seams The Tiles Cracking?

/in /by

Remove cracked or crumbling grout. If there are cracks in the grout, water can seep in and start damaging the subflooring, loosen tiles design, and even promote mold growth. Minimizing these cracks and repairing cracks that are there are critical steps to take to minimize tile cracking. Scrape out the damaged grout and clean the seam. Remove pieces of the old grout and other bits of material and dirt.

Mix new grout. Mix a small amount of new grout according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The grout should be a pudding-like consistency. Too much or too little water in the mix will prevent the grout from functioning effectively, leading to loose element tiles and opportunities for water leakage. If you need to add water, squeeze in a little at a time from a sponge.

There are different kinds of grout for different applications. There are grouts with urethane and epoxy mixed in, but most homes will use cement grout. If the joints between common marble tiles are less than 1⁄8 in (0.32 cm), use grout without sand. Joints that are larger than this can use sanded grout.

Pack grout around the tiles. Use a rubber float held at a 45-degree angle to the floor to push the grout into the spaces between the ceramic tiles. Make sure there are no small holes or cracks along the edge of the tile. Use your finger to scrape off excess grout and make the new grout level with the grout surrounding it. Work from the edges of the room toward the center so you don’t accidently box yourself in.

Clean up excess grout with a sponge and warm, soapy water. Wait 20-30 minutes for the grout to start setting. It should be firm to the touch. Then wipe away grout left on the tile with a wet sponge, taking care not to pull grout out from between the glazed rustic tiles. You’ll probably have to clean up dried grout on the tiles after the grout has set. Use a dry towel to clean the kitchen tiles, as a wet cloth will only continue to spread around particles of grout.

Apply a coating of grout sealer after the grout is dry. Grout sealer comes in a small can and can be applied with a small foam brush. Pour some of the sealer into a cup and use the brush to trace the grout with sealer. Clean up any sealer that gets on the wood tiles within a few minutes.

How to Repair Tile?

/in /by

Tile is a very tough and durable wall and floor covering, but it is not indestructible. Tile can be made of ceramic, porcelain, quarry stone or terracotta (clay) and is vulnerable to damage caused by virtually any item heavy or strong enough to crack those materials. A floor tile may even crack on its own if it’s hiding a manufacturer defect or if it’s installed on an uneven subfloor. Fortunately, cracked cement tile is repairable and you don’t have to be a flooring contractor to be able to do it. If you have a broken tile that needs to be replaced, follow these steps for how to repair wood tile.

Find a replacement tile that matches. Flooring contractors often leave spare tiles design in the garage or storage room for when the homeowner might need to repair tile mishaps. Choose a matching grout. Borrow colored grout samples from a well-stocked flooring supply store and bring it home to find the closest match.

Remove the old fashion impression tile completely. Be careful not to damage any of the surrounding tiles. Use an electric drill with a masonry bit to drill a diagonal series of small holes into the cracked polished tile, keeping drilled holes less than 1 inch (2.54 cm) apart.

Split the tile through the horizontal hole-line by using a ball-peen hammer to tap a cold chisel into the ceramic tile. Tap very lightly so as not to crack neighboring grout joints. Remove the loosened pieces. Use a flat bar to pry up any shards that you cannot get up by hand.

Scrape the remaining old mortar from the subfloor using a stiff-bladed scraper. It is not important that you get every last bit up. Just make sure the area is fairly clean of mortar. Vacuum up any loose dirt or debris.

Set the replacement tile. Use a notched trowel to spread mortar onto the subfloor and lay the new fashion tile in. Use a level to ensure tile is laying perfectly flat and also to determine that the newly set tile is flush with surrounding marble tiles. Grout the area according to the grout manufacturer’s directions.

Lu Xun said that if you do not live by selling your text, you don’t need to “trick” it. In the evening, we were in a hurry. We looked at the flow of people and built countless “detailed” delusions. We long for life to be slower, slower, and meticulously intensive and clear.

In Asia, the first healing art documentary “The Great Shokunin” was directed at the craftsmanship of 20 ingenious craftsmen in Asia, truly recording and displaying the process of making unknown craftsmanship and exquisite artifacts. The form of the show exquisite 20 artifacts and local culture. The lens faithfully reproduces the local cultural landscape and customs of the craftsmen. They (her) are a light in the time; they are the inheritors of life and meticulously carve the beauty of life.

It took three years for Suzhou Jing, a fan artisan who was obsessed with ancient culture, to visit only the remaining traditional craftsmen in Suzhou. With these old craftsmen, he not only restored the work of the old ancestors, but also inherited the art of the old literati. The silk fan of silence for a thousand years has passed from the past to modern society. The group fan represents a kind of attitude towards life, living in a dark, peaceful and elegant world. Although it is mellow and reserved, it is generous and natural. This move by Li Jing has made the ancient fanatic radiance of the new era.
Li Jing said that there is no worthless art, only repressed efforts. Respond to secular prejudices with your own opinions. Not for their own name, only to pass on the name. In the end, I let my true love things be treated by any era. As history rolls forward, wood type printing has been abandoned in the old paper pile?

The 14th generation of Wang Chaohui, the 14th generation descendant of the wood type printing technique in Jiangnan Dongyuan Village, was more than Lianjia. He still insisted on printing the genealogy in wood type. In the era of electronic typography and type printing, he personally left ink in the book pages. A kind of ancient art that was supported by the ritual sense, still persists in its own attitude in the torrent of the times. Maybe this is a faint sound, but it cannot disappear.
Wang Chaohui said that there is no shortcut on the road to become a master. The most clumsy efforts can also be harvested slowly. Although Yugong is foolish, he also sees his craftsmanship.

Some people say that the passage of time recalls that time; some people say that whether the fast-paced life can be a short pause; some people say that life lacks a kind of ingenuity and serious beauty. In fact, I want to say that this beauty is in your home. Home is a sheltered bay; home is a small street light; home is a warm hotel and an eternal destination. For each of us, the family is very important. With the indifference of the people, we hope that the family can warm our hearts; in a cruel society, we hope that our family will bring us good things; a huge pressure of life, we hope to return home and enjoy quietly.

Tiles, as an important part of home decoration, always resonate with our hearts. When we suffer from the coldness of the outside world, we walk into a space that is carefully designed with ceramic tiles. It is simple and stylish, as beautiful as a painting. Some soft outfits add a little bit of fortune, touch the hand and feel the moment when the last drop of water in the desert evaporates.

Carving time rustic tile new products series, through inkjet technology and glaze processing technology, showing athens rustic wood tile series of antique charm, open the athens culture of fashion aesthetics, recalling the beauty of time. The heavy texture, well-embossed line patterns, such as the rugged mountains of the mountains, are also the marks after years of polishing, depicting the texture of modern fashion.

The deep gray tone and fine lines give the product itself more vividness, such as the melody of the beat, the minimalist design, the sense of fashion, and a sense of space. Sensual brown, light and bright lines, like the shallow texture of the flow of river, combined with movement. The simple bookcases allow the elegant space to be full of fashion and personality.
