Recommended “Do’s”:
· Clean your new floor 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 ceramic tiles is generally easier than other types of flooring. The entire area should be cleaned and scrubbed with a cleansing solution by 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 floor prior to mopping to remove any dust or debris
Recommended “Don’ts”:
· 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 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 tile
· You should allow your new ceramic tile and grout to set and dry for at least 72 hours after installation before damp mopping it
