Cleaning your tile floor can prove to be a full time job if your home is teaming with teenagers wearing soccer cleats, a long haired cat, crawling babies and messy cooking. OK, I will admit to all but one of the above. Let’s just say that I am between the age of having babies and being a grandmother. I digress. Let me get back to the flooring news update.
Daltile, the largest manufacturer of ceramic and porcelain tile in North America, and American Olean have made unique tile that is amazingly clean by adding MicrobanR to their ceramic tile glaze during the manufacturing process. It will not wear off or wash away and claims to keep the ceramic tile cleaner between cleanings. Don’t we all love that thought!
Consider this from MicrobanR and Daltile when shopping for new tile:
- Moisture is all that’s needed to create the circumstances needed for mold to grow. Flooring in a home can be breeding ground for microbes according to Daltile.
- MicrobanR antimicrobial product protection continuously fights the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and flooring deterioration.
- This product provides durable antimicrobial protection for the lifetime of the flooring.
- Tile made with MicrobanR is perfect for high traffic environments (like your home and mine!)
One last thing you should know about this new Daltile product. It is currently only available on three styles of tile. More styles will be added in the near future. Visit these websites to find out more about how your tile can be cleaner between cleanings.
