    The main reason for the fishy smell is that the mop of many families is used to being placed in the bathroom, but the bathroom is a relatively humid place, and it is difficult to dry the mop in the bathroom after use, plus the moisture of the mop itself, it is simply a petri dish of natural bacteria and some algae.

    Tiles will produce hydrogen sulfide during the firing process, and some tiles will have some hydrogen sulfide residue inside the tile, which will be slowly released over time, and hydrogen sulfide smells pungent rotten egg odor. Especially some inferior tiles, black hearts, yellow heart tiles, this situation is very common.

    There are some regions that produce tiles. The raw materials of clay are different. There will be a fishy smell after encountering water, and this situation is more troublesome to solve.

    In addition, the mop was placed in one place and not completely dried, and then we soaked the mop with water and continued to mop the floor. In this case, the ground dragged out is basically fishy. If the quality of the tile is not up to standard, it will emit this smell when exposed to water.

    For example, tiles that are not waterproof or hygroscopic will emit the fishy smell of gypsum when they encounter water on the ground or in humid weather in the south. If the ground base and floor are not done well, the mopping will return to moisture and produce a strange smell. Some of them may also loosen or warp.

    For families, the only way to get rid of this smell is to have an air purifier, or to mix some deodorant directly in the water when mopping the floor, this kind of floor tile will generally not have a fishy smell after drying. If the density of the tile is too low and the tile is hollow, the moisture will easily soak into the inside of the tile after mopping the floor and accumulate at the bottom of the tile for a long time. However, the internal water evaporates very slowly, and in the long run, the water will become smelly.

    Due to the residual water stains on the bottom plate after wiping the ground, especially if these water stains also contain some organic matter, it is easy to cause the growth of some micro-algae, which will release some chemicals with a fishy smell. Sometimes the small pets at home pee on the floor tiles and you don't wipe them clean in time, and this will happen after a long time. Encounter such a situation.

    The gaps in the tiles will breed bacteria when they absorb water, and they will release odors when they are wet, and this situation is more difficult, let alone improved. It is not right to use laundry detergent water to mop the floor, and the water used to wash the clothes can only be used to mop the floor after the second pass. Laundry detergent water has a fishy smell after a long time.

    Therefore, to solve this problem, it is necessary to figure out the accuracy of the fishy smell, and different situations need to take different measures to achieve good results.

    In fact, the biggest reason for the formation of fishy smell is the mop, many people like to put the mop in the bathroom, and the bathroom is originally a damp and dark area. In a humid environment for a long time, the mop is simply a petri dish of natural bacteria and algae, and after the death of the algae, coupled with the lack of oxygen, hydrogen sulfide will be produced, and the "musty smell" produced is the fishy smell we usually smell. Or the tile itself will produce hydrogen sulfide in the process of firing, and some of the hydrogen sulfide will remain inside the tile, which will be slowly released over time, and hydrogen sulfide has the pungent smell of rotten eggs.

    Especially some inferior tiles, after encountering water, the smell will volatilize more strongly, and it is inevitable that people will smell a fishy smell when mopping the floor.

    1. Mop problem: The mop rag is not dried or dried in time after use, and the algae die and the water body is hypoxic to produce hydrogen sulfide, sulfur and ammonia.

    2. The tile itself: the sulfide of the tile itself. Tile odors can also be sulfide odors released by the tiles themselves.

    Inferior ceramic tiles, especially black-hearted and yellow-hearted ceramic tiles, usually produce sulfides such as hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide during the firing process, which accumulate in the micropores of the tile, and the gas will release a foul smell after being dragged by a wet mop, and this closed odor is harmful.

    3. Ceramic tile technology: the tile is not burned through, the peculiar smell of the tile is related to the firing process, the temperature of the burning brick is not high enough or the firing time is not long enough to cause the brick to be not burned through, and the tile will emit an earthy smell when dragged through with a wet mop. Most of the medium and low-grade tiles are fired at medium and low temperatures, so they are more prone to peculiar smells.
