How to maintain zellige wall tiles in a kitchen to prevent grease splashes?

Zellige tiles, iconic of Moroccan craftsmanship, are known for their shine and handmade charm. However, in the kitchen, they're constantly exposed to grease and cooking vapors. To keep your zellige wall tiles clean and shiny, a few simple steps are enough to prevent buildup.

Clean them regularly with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Black soap or Marseille soap are ideal, as they clean without damaging the zellige’s delicate enamel. Avoid abrasive or acid-based products, which could harm the surface.

To protect the tiles from grease, apply a thin layer of linseed oil or a dedicated sealer, especially around stovetops. This creates an invisible barrier while preserving the tile’s natural luster.

Be sure to clean spills quickly after cooking. A slightly damp microfiber cloth is often enough to remove splashes before they stain.

Maintaining zellige tiles in your kitchen is simple if done regularly and gently, preserving both their beauty and durability over time.
