Porcelain surfaces have turned out to be a favourite for both homeowners and designers due to their resilience, ease of maintenance, and timeless beauty.  

However, even the most resilient materials need proper care to remain beautiful and functional over the years. Whether you're dealing with porcelain countertops, flooring, or outdoor slabs, these tips will help you maintain and clean your porcelain surfaces for maximum longevity.

Routine Cleaning Tips

1. Regular Dusting and Sweeping

For porcelain floors and walls, regular dusting or sweeping removes dirt and debris that can cause scratches over time. Use a soft broom or a microfiber dust mop to prevent surface abrasion.

2. Daily Wipe-Downs for Countertops

Porcelain countertops benefit from daily cleaning with a soft cloth or sponge and mild soapy water. This removes surface dirt and prevents build-up from spills or cooking residues.

‍

3. Avoid Abrasive Tools

Steer clear of harsh scouring pads or abrasive brushes, which can damage the finish. Instead, opt for non-abrasive sponges or soft-bristle brushes for tougher stains.

Preventative Measures for Longevity

1. Protect High-Traffic Areas

For porcelain flooring in high-traffic areas, use rugs or mats to minimize wear. Choose non-slip mats to prevent accidents.

2. Use Cutting Boards and Trivets

While porcelain countertops are heat and scratch-resistant, it’s best to use cutting boards when preparing food and trivets for hot pans to preserve their pristine appearance.

Outdoor Porcelain Surface Care

‍

1. Remove Debris Regularly

Leaves, dirt, and debris can accumulate on outdoor porcelain slabs. Sweep or rinse them regularly to prevent stains and discoloration.

2. Power Wash Sparingly

Use a low-pressure setting when power washing outdoor porcelain to remove stubborn dirt. Avoid high pressure, which can damage the surface or grout.

What to Avoid

1. Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners, as they can erode the surface or cause discoloration.

2. Metal Brushes: These can scratch the surface, especially on polished finishes.

3. Excessive Weight: Avoid dragging heavy furniture or objects across porcelain flooring, which can cause chips or cracks.
