There are several kinds of ceiling tiles including tin, noncoated, sheetrock, vinyl coated and porous. These all look different, but they all need to be cleaned on a weekly or monthly basis. Ceilings tend to accumulate dust rather easily, especially in the corners. Removing the dust will help improve the air quality in your home.
Instructions
1. Dust the ceiling tiles. Use a feather duster to remove dirt particles and dust from the tiles in the ceiling, particularly in the corners where cobwebs can accumulate. Avoid using a rag, since it can catch on the tiles and edges.
2. Vacuum the ceiling tiles. Use the brush attachment and make sure to reach into the corners of the ceiling.
3. Mix dishwashing liquid with water. Whether you can use this method to clean depends on the kind of tile you have. On sheetrock and porous tiles, use a dry sponge to remove any stains that may be on the tiles. If you have tin, vinyl-coated or synthetic tiles, use soap and water and clean with a sponge.
4. Scrape rust off with steel wool if you have tin tiles.
5. Paint noncoated ceiling tiles with acoustical tile paint such as Majic's to cover up any stains.
