Ceramic Tile Care

Ceramic Tiles are very easy to maintain. Simply use a Hard Surface Care Kit that has a Hard Surface Cleaner and a specialty terry cloth flooring mop available at our showroom.

STEP ONE:

Vacuum or sweep your floor using a "Dry" Mop Cloth to remove any particles that could scratch your tile. Always use felt protectors under chair legs and check them often for dirt and grit that may scratch the surface of your tile floor.

STEP TWO:

Apply the Hard Surface Cleaner directly to the Microfiber Wet Mop Cloth until wet.

STEP THREE:

Use a back and forth motion with the mop. When the Microfiber mop cloth becomes soiled simply replace it with a clean one. Cleaning the floor with a soiled cover mop cloth could cause streaking. Most Microfiber mop cloths are completely reusable and can withstand over 1000 wash cycles. Do not use bleach or fabric softener when washing Microfiber cloths.

Protecting your investments:

• Vacuum or sweep regularly to remove any dirt or grit.
• Remove spills promptly using a clean, dry terry Microfiber cloth and clean residual from spill with Hard Surface Cleaner and a clean white Microfiber cloth.
• Use felt protectors under heavy pieces of furniture and chairs.
• Use protective mats at all exterior entrances.
• Cleaners should never contain acids or ammonia.
• Acids can damage the grout and the glazed surface of the tile, and ammonia can discolor the grout.
• For removing grease, soap scum and mildew stains from grout joints see your flooring retailer for a professional strength Grout Cleaner
• Never use oil soaps or wax to clean your tile floor.
• Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor.
• If you need to remove sealers or waxes from your tile floor be sure to use a Tile Sealer & Adhesive remover.
