How do you get a tile floor clean?


As Ken walked out of our bedroom this morning, he said that the floor was wet. I thought maybe it was just moisture from all the rain we have had lately. As we both started walking around and turned on lights so we could see, the whole back half of the house was not only wet, but had about 1-2 inches of standing water from the bathroom all the way back. Opening the “safe room” ( that’s a whole story in itself) proved to be even worse and that’s where the majority of our tents etc are stored. Since it wasn’t tile and the floor around it was, the water was pooling mostly there. We bailed for a couple of hours and then dried with towels to get the remaining water up. We now have fans going to make sure the cement floor is good and dry and we don’t get any mold growing. We still aren’t sure where the water came from and for now guess that will remain a mystery, but the good thing is our floor is squeaky clean.

What a mess! I'm glad that Ken had gotten home to help you with this project.

You thought you'd get away from home repair by going to the jungle. Guess not!
