Cleaning of porcelain stone, tiles and terracotta in Mallorca – for permanently flawless floors
Porcelain stoneware, classic tiles and rustic terracotta are extremely popular in Mallorca . They give living and outdoor areas a Mediterranean flair and impress with their robustness. However, even the most resistant floor coverings can become dull or stain over time if they are incorrectly or inadequately maintained. In this article , you will learn how professional cleaning of porcelain stone, tiles and terracotta works, why it is so important and what supplementary measures can protect your floors in the long term.
Why professional cleaning?
Although porcelain stoneware and tiles are relatively insensitive, intensive use and environmental influences cause stubborn soiling, limescale deposits or soap residues to accumulate. Cotto made of fired clay can also be severely affected by grease, water stains or incorrect cleaning agents. With professional cleaning , deeper-seated layers of dirt and old care products are thoroughly removed. This gives your floors a fresh look and provides the ideal basis for further protective measures such as impregnation.

Cleaning process
A professional cleaning of your porcelain, tile or terracotta floors in Mallorca is carried out in several steps:
- Analysis of the pavement: First of all, it is determined exactly what material it is and what condition it is in. In this way, the appropriate cleaning agents and methods can be selected.
- Pre-cleaning: Coarse dirt, dust and loose dirt are removed so that the cleaning product can work optimally.
- Deep: Using special machines and cleaning agents, stubborn incrustations and deposits are dissolved. A specialist company takes care not to damage the floor.
- Neutralization and drying: After the cleaning process, the surface is neutralized so as not to leave any residue. The floor then dries before any further steps may follow.
Supplementary protective measures
To ensure that the result of cleaning is retained for a long time, you can also refine your floors. Impregnation is particularly recommended if the surfaces are exposed to heavy loads or need to be protected from moisture. Regularly refreshing the impregnation also helps to ensure that your porcelain stoneware, tiles or terracotta floor remains beautiful over time.
Advantages of professional floor cleaning
- Long-term value retention: Immaculate floors increase the value of your property in Mallorca.
- Optimal hygiene: Especially in kitchen and sanitary areas, pore-deep cleaning is indispensable.
- Better optics: After a thorough cleaning, the colour and structure of your floor covering really come into their own.
- Perfect basis for impregnation: A protective agent can only have an optimal effect on clean, dry soils.
Care in everyday life – your help is needed
Professional cleaning lays the foundation for a well-groomed floor, but daily care also plays an important role:
- Immediate removal of stains: Whether oil, red wine or water – the faster you react, the lower the risk of permanent discoloration.
- Avoid aggressive cleaners: Rely on pH-neutral products so as not to attack the coating.
- Regularly sweep or vacuum: Sand and dust act like sandpaper and can cause scratches.
- Damp wiping: Too much water is particularly unfavorable for terracotta, as the clay can absorb moisture.

We focus on environmentally friendly stone cleaning
We have been cleaning with heat-generating machines for over 25 years. These enable us to use comparatively few cleaning agents for stone floor cleaning. In this way, we make an important contribution to protecting the environment. We only work with cleaning agents that are listed by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and comply with the latest regulations for chemicals.
Optimal cleaning results for heavily soiled natural stone floors are achieved during wet cleaning by adding a special cleaner (application concentration 1:300 to 1:400). On request, we also supply cleaning agents that are tailored to our crystallization. All cleaning agents are tested by various institutes (FIGR, Inst. F. Building Physics etc.).
