Tile Countertops
If you’re remodeling your kitchen and you’re looking for countertop ideas, tile countertops are a great alternative. Choose from ceramic, porcelain and stone tiles. There also a wide variety of sink styles to select from. The tile in’ type rests below or in line with the tile surface and the self rimming’ type rests on top of the tile surface. How the tile will be set, what trim will be used and what accents used will depend on your design preferences, and the type of tile that is selected.
A tiled countertop in your bathroom or kitchen is durable and can take abuse, but keeping the grout clean is essential in order for the countertop to look its best. You can use a homemade countertop cleaner that will quickly remove dirt and is inexpensive to make. Mix 1/2 a cup of vinegar, 1 cup of ammonia, and 1/4 cup of baking soda in a gallon of hot water. Apply this mixture to the countertop using a sponge, rinse with water and buff to get the best results. Remember to wear rubber gloves when making this mixture and work in a well ventilated area when cleaning with the solution as it tends to be powerful.
