Cleaning Your Empire Flooring - Ceramic

Recommended “To Do’s”

• Clean your new Flooring with a damp mop once a week or more, depending on the amount of traffic. Heavy traffic areas should be mopped more often than once a week.

• Use an all-purpose, non-oil based household or commercial cleaner. Ensure that the cleaner is compatible with the grout cleaner recommendations in the maintenance and protection section. You can also use a cleaning solution of one cup of white vinegar to two gallons of tap water.

• Cleaning spills off of Porcelain & Ceramic Flooring is generally easier than other types of flooring. The entire area should be cleaned and scrubbed with a cleansing solution using a cotton mop, cloth, sponge or non-metallic brush. The entire area should then be rinsed with clean water to remove any residue left on the Flooring from the cleaning solution.

• Sweep or vacuum your tile Empire Flooring prior to mopping to remove any dust or debris.

Recommended “Not To Do”

• Use a detergent or soap because it may dull the surface and potentially promote the growth of mildew.

Other Care Instructions

• Routine cleaners used on your Porcelain & Ceramic Flooring should never contain acids or ammonia because they can discolor the grout and/or damage the grout and the glazed surface of the Flooring.

• You should allow your new Ceramic Flooring and grout to set and dry for at least 72 hours after installation before damp mopping it.
