i have just bought a house and my ceiling tiles needs cleaning. i would like to know if anyone out there knows what i can use to clean them. the ceiling tiles has dust but also has mildew on some of them. i don‘t want to replace them, i just want to clean them for now. thank you everyone.
The one thing I can suggest to you is go to a place that deals with ceiling tiles and they will let you know what to use to clean them. I understand this a just for now project, but do consider what is the reason for the mildew even if you replace the tiles at a later date. If someone suggests to paint them then you're really going to have to ask the experts. If you use the wrong paint you can loose the acoustics. There are certain kinds of paints to use for ceiling tiles. I hesitate to tell you to use soap and water, because I don't know what the out come will be. It's like if you use too much of anything what will the results be. Same with soap and water regarding ceiling tiles. I may be making a mountain out of a mole hill, but I think you need to go to any hardware dept. that deals with ceiling tiles and get some straight answers before moving on, even if this is a temporary fix.
very confusing step research in search engines like google that may help
Hello, Cleaning should be maintained perfectly. Cleaning can make the environment healthy. It is really good for our family.
Sarri is right, it depends on what they are made of. I had the ones that pop into a frame, they are plastic sheeting with some insulation. I took them down, I washed them with soap and water, and put them back dry. And it depends on what it is on them. If it is cig smoke, you either need dishwashing soap made for greasy dishes, or a strong cleaning solution. I used 409 on my walls. I used a swifter with pads soaked in 409 on my painted bathroom ceiling. It took a lot of scrubbing. Buy one of those soft bristle brooms meant for corners amd ceilings, those work well on the dust. The tiles in this house are porous, they seem to be made from some sort of stiff fiberboard. These I wiped off with a damp rag, bought some paint primer and gave them a nice coat, then came back with ceiling paint. They look great. And if they are badly stained, and need to be sealed, there are paints for that.
depends on what the tiles are made out of you idiot....
