How to Clean Split Brick Floors

Split-brick flooring is essentially made from bricks that have been split or cut into thin slices to form tiles. It can be used indoors or out and is commonly used in kitchens, bathrooms, recreation rooms and wine cellars. Split-brick flooring is also used commercially in restaurants and bars. Though the purpose of having split-brick flooring is to present a weathered look, too much buildup of dirt and grime can make it look dirty, making it essential to know how best to clean it.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Stiff-bristled brush Cleaner that's safe for natural stone Clean rags Wet vacuum

1. Sweep the floor and vacuum if necessary to remove all dirt and debris.

2. Scrub the floor with soap and water or a commercial cleaner that's safe for natural stone, using a stiff-bristled brush.

3. Wipe up as much moisture as you can with a clean rag or paper towels, and then use a wet vacuum to suck up any remaining dirt and water.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 if the floor is not clean after the first attempt.

5. Allow the floor to dry, at least overnight but preferably for 24 hours.
