Care and Maintenance
We stock a professional line of sealers, cleaners, enhancers and restorative products for Natural Stone, Tile and Grout from Stone Tech. Here are some DOs and DON’Ts.
DOs
- You should clean your tile with a damp sponge mop, using a small amount of soapless detergent in warm water.
- If you use a cleaner, make sure that it’s neutral - non-acidic or non-alkaline.
- Where soil is more concentrated, use a cleaner made specifically for ceramic tile.
DON’Ts
- You should not use soap on tile. It leaves a film which dulls the surface and promotes mildew.
- You should not use an acid or ammonia-based cleaner, because it could affect the color of the grout. Acid-based cleaners will also cause polished marble tiles to dull. You should not use bleach or vinegar and water - vinegar is an acid
- You should not use steel wool pads or any abrasive on tile or stone. These materials can scratch or dull the surface. Any loose particles of steel left on the grout will cause rust stains.
