Damp Mop Weekly:
- Wipe your ceramic floor with a damp mop weekly.
- Use an approved ceramic tile cleaner
- Avoid using detergent or soap, as it can dull the surface or promote mildew growth.
- Wait at least 72 hours after installation before damp mopping.
Use Protective Mats:
- Place good quality mats at entrances and exits to protect your tile from wear.
- Mats trap dirt, sand, grit, and other substances that can be tracked onto the floor.
- Consider using mats at heavy pivot locations, like in front of the kitchen sink or stove.
Add Protective Pads to Furniture:
- Affix felt or similar pads to furniture legs to protect your tile.
- Exterior metal furniture on tile floors may rust and cause staining.
Use Recommended Sealers and Cleaners Only:
- Use only approved floor care products
- Avoid other cleaners that may damage your tile or grout.
