Ceramic Tile Care & Maintenance

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Use Recommended Sealers and Cleaners Only:

• • Use only approved floor care products

  • Avoid other cleaners that may damage your tile or grout.
