Tile Maintenance

UNDERSTANDING THE MAINTENANCE FOR YOUR NEW TILE.

After cleaning with a mild detergent, rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water to help remove any leftover residue. If needed, wipe dry with a clean towel to remove any film. Make sure to always consult the cleaning product’s instructions to make sure the product is compatible with your type of tile.

CAUTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS.

Avoid using steel wool, scouring powders, or other abrasives that can scratch the finish of the tile. Don’t use bleach or ammonia-based cleaners, as these products can discolor your grout if used too often. Also, don’t clean glazed tile with oil-based cleaners. Try to clean up spills as quickly as possible so that the grout or tile doesn’t become stained.

While ceramic tile is considered very durable, it is not indestructible and may crack or chip under extreme force. Take the proper precautions when moving heavy objects across your tile floor. Cover furniture and table legs with protectors to guard your floor against damage.
