No matter how they are installed – whether permanent or framed decoration – it is important that you keep them in tiptop shape and condition.

Taking care of your Bathroom Tile Mural

•    Clean it With Water

You should clean your bathroom tile mural regularly with a soft, wet sponge or cloth and have it dried thoroughly. If there are splatters, sprays or spills, you should remove them as soon as possible. Remember that if you act early, you can eliminate the dirt from the tile mural easily and quickly with the help of warm water.

In cleaning a tough area, avoid using ammonia, bleach and products that are vinegar-based. You can use mild cleansers and detergents but you should see to it that you carefully read the label and instructions on how to use them. It is better to test first a small and almost unnoticeable portion of the tile mural. If there’s a need to scour the tile surface, avoid using steel wool; use a nylon pad or brush instead. Always stay away from cleaners and powders that are highly abrasive.

•    Protect it by Sealing and Caulking

For the tile murals positioned in high-splash areas like bathroom wall, it is good to consider sealing and caulking.

Since it will be constantly exposed to water, a bathroom tile mural has to be caulked after laying it. This way, the integrity and the appearance of the mural is preserved and the subsurface where the tiles are placed will also be protected.

The tile sealer and the grout aren’t just for the murals on high-splash locations. Although glazed tiles can be wiped clean easily, there are porous grouts or unglazed tiles that may suck up spill, causing it to be stained.  By sealing this type of grout or tile, you can stay away from stains that may mess up the attractive appearance of the mural.

Whether your bathroom tile mural is highly practical or mainly for aesthetics enhancement, taking care of it properly will surely give you warmth and delight for a long period of time. Your bathroom needs to be comfortable because you are going to use it regularly, so let it appeal to you by providing it with a relaxing view from a well-designed bathroom tile mural.
