How to Get Ice Melt Off a Tile Floor
- 1). Determine the size of the area where the ice melt has been tracked over your tile floor. You can clean one or two single footprints easily with a spray cleaner and some paper towels, while areas one-quarter of the floor or larger will require you to clean the whole floor.
- 2). Wipe up the water from the ice melt with one or two paper towels. This will leave behind any rock salt or de-icing chemical residue. For smaller ice melt messes, spray a tile floor cleaner onto the area, allow to set for five minutes, then wipe clean with an additional paper towel.
- 3). Mix 1 cup of vinegar and 1 gallon of hot water in a bucket for larger areas of ice melt. Stir until blended.
- 4). Dip the mop into the vinegar and water mixture and sweep it around the tile floor, wiping up the remaining salt from the ice melt.
- 5). Rinse with plain warm water. Dry with a soft towel or let air-dry.
