Brown is a warm, earthy colour. It makes kitchens feel grounded, rustic, and cosy. But just like any other design element, brown colour tiles need care to keep looking their best, especially when they’re part of your kitchen floor, where there’s a lot of movement, spills, and grease.

Tiles are more than just decorative elements- they become an integral part of your everyday life once they’re laid. That’s why it’s important to know how to clean them the right way, making maintenance easy rather than a chore. 

This post is your go-to guide for keeping your kitchen floor tiles looking as good as new, no matter how busy your kitchen gets. 

Why Brown Tiles Work So Well In Kitchens?

In most Indian homes, the kitchen is a bustling hub where there’s always something boiling, frying, or splattering. This is why many people go with brown colour tiles, as they look natural and homely. 

Unlike white or cream, brown doesn’t show every little stain. It hides mild curry splashes or masala dust better than lighter tones. However, it stays and dulls their finish if left unattended for too long. 

Premium suppliers like Simpolo Tiles and Bathware understand this balance. That’s why their kitchen tile collections like Prozzo Select, Pozzolana, and Arrow Wood come in textured finishes that look great and clean up well, too. 

And to maintain brown tiles in your kitchen, you should do the following:

Daily Maintenance

Wipe down the kitchen floor tiles once cooking is done. Use a damp mop with warm water and just a few drops of mild floor cleaner. Avoid strong acids or bleach-based products if you don’t want to lose the glossy shine.

Collections like Murato Brown and Forest Wood from premium brands like Simpolo Tiles and Bathware are made to withstand daily wear, but even they need gentle cleaning to retain their texture and look.

Deep Clean Weekly

Your brown kitchen floor tiles might not look dirty, but a weekly deep clean keeps their colour vibrant and the grout lines clean.

For this, we recommend taking warm water in a bucket, adding a capful of tile cleaner (make sure it’s pH neutral), and mopping slowly. Once done, wipe again with clean water to remove any soap residue.

If you spot oil patches near the stove area, use a mix of vinegar and baking soda. Scrub the area with a soft brush and rinse it off immediately. Another functional tip is to always test a small area before applying any homemade mixture. 

Handle Spills, Grease, and Stains 

If you drop something oily, don’t wait. First, blot it. Then, sprinkle a little baking soda, let it sit for 5 minutes, and mop it away with warm water. 

For yellowish stains like turmeric stains, act fast. These can stain the tile if left too long. Use lemon juice on a cloth to dab it off, and rinse immediately.

Kitchens with brown colour tiles tend to hide minor splashes, but the longer you leave them, the harder they can get. So act intuitively and keep the stains away.

Take Care of Grouts

Most people clean tiles and forget about grout, but dirty grout makes your clean floor look old. Every two weeks, spray a mix of water and vinegar onto the grout. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then scrub with an old toothbrush. If your grout is light in colour, avoid using coloured tile cleaners, as they might stain it.

How to Clean Wall Tiles in the Kitchen?

Some kitchens have matching wall tiles to go with the brown floor tiles. These need just as much attention, especially the ones behind the stove or sink.

Use a microfibre cloth and warm water every evening. If you notice a greasy film, spray a little dish soap diluted in water and wipe it clean. For tiles with textures or wood-like finishes, go slow and gently.

Don’t Drag Heavy Furniture Across the Tiles

Dragging steel stools, ladders, or heavy pots across tiled floors causes micro-scratches. Over time, this dulls the tile and creates visible lines.

Use felt pads under stools and mats in high-use zones, like in front of the sink or stove. A simple investment here will save you from spending thousands on tile replacements later. 

Conclusion

Tiles are an investment, and when you’ve picked a warm tone like brown, you’ve already made a solid design choice. It’s timeless, earthy, and versatile. But no matter how beautiful the tile is, its charm can fade without the right care. Stick to daily wipes and weekly deep cleans. And when in doubt, browse collections from premium suppliers like Simpolo Tiles and Bathware. They are made to perfectly match your kitchen’s aesthetic.

Smart design starts with smart maintenance. Keep it simple, and your tiles will stay stunning for years.
