Suitable products for its maintenance

Firstly, as we mentioned, proper use of hydraulic tiles will lengthen their lifespan. The key is to use suitable products for daily cleaning, such as our maintenance products, and above all, ensure a proper waterproofing of the material with our product Torra Sealer after installation, which will ensure the good condition of the hydraulic tile for a more durable period.

Finally, daily cleaning will also influence the preservation of the hydraulic tile for a longer time. Here, we recommend using our product Torra Maintenance. This factor is tangential, but still important.

Good waterproofing will prevent stains from settling, make cleaning the hydraulic tile easier, and keep the floor looking like new for many years.

If you want to do a deep cleaning of your hydraulic mosaic floors, we strongly advise against using harsh products. These can contribute to the deterioration of a material that, otherwise, is quite easy to clean. First, we will discuss how to perform a deep cleaning of hydraulic mosaic floors. After that, we will explain how the material should be cleaned thoroughly.

The ideal way to perform a deep cleaning is by using a floor cleaning machine (today, we can find a wide range of devices on the market that allow us to use different cloths). With a cloth or fiber disc and neutral pH natural soap, we can carry out our cleaning. Multiple passes will not be necessary. Hydraulic mosaic floors are fairly easy to clean and do not tend to collect dirt. In fact, after cleaning any dirt that may have surfaced with a simple mop, the floor will look like new.

Especially after installing hydraulic floors, this step is essential, along with the first step of deep cleaning. Hydraulic floors are highly porous. This is because they are not fired like ceramic tiles but are made by pressing together different materials of which they are composed. The fact that this process is done with a hydraulic press is what gives them their name.

To reduce this porosity and prevent dirt or other substances from penetrating the floor and staining it irreparably, we must carry out the sealing process. At Mosaics Torra, we have specific products for this task. Otherwise, it’s simple, as long as you follow the instructions on the packaging.

Stubborn dirt

For a more difficult cleaning, we can use Torra floor cleaner.

First, we should consider the type of stain on the floor. With Torra Floor Cleaner, we can use this product for a more intensive cleaning of the hydraulic tiles. The easiest way is to follow the instructions on the packaging. However, as a general guideline, we will say that to apply this product, you should:

Dilute about 1 part of the product with 5 parts water. Apply it to the floor with a mop. Let it sit for a few minutes, and then you can start applying the product. After this, let it dry.

It’s especially important that during this time the floor is not stepped on to avoid leaving marks. The best material for cleaning hydraulic mosaic floors is the mop. It’s not harsh on them and, additionally, it dries quickly.

Periodic cleaning

In the case of hydraulic mosaic floors, the ideal is to carry out periodic cleaning. This way, especially at first, we prevent dirt from penetrating. This goes against the characteristics of the floor itself, as it reduces color and aesthetics. Therefore, at Mosaics Torra, we also want to give you tips for daily cleaning, especially with our product Torra Maintenance, which is the ideal product for daily cleaning of our hydraulic floors. Here we provide some ideas on how it can fill any space with personality.
