In this episode of Home Design Chat with Nancy, Gil Olachea, owner of Ceramica in Scottsdale, Az, talks about everything you need to know regarding the care and maintenance of your tile.

Gil is a tile expert with decades of experience and often co-hosts this podcast sharing his knowledge on many subjects.

After spending the time and money on tiling your home, either by doing it yourself or by hiring contractors, Gil and I thought it would be important to talk about maintaining your tile on the floor, in the shower and/or your backsplash.

Whether your tile is porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, or glass, this episode will help you keep it looking beautiful, safe, and easy to maintain for years to come.

Talking points:
✔️ The do’s and don’ts of cleaning tile
✔️ How to protect grout from staining
✔️ Tips for extending the life of your tile
✔️ Common mistakes homeowners make—and how to avoid them

Gil suggested the following websites for more information on tile maintenance:
