How to Care for Your Ceramic Tile

Purchase a good quality dust mop and sweep your ceramic tile floor daily. This is especially important in new installations where the grout has not fully cured. Dirt, mud, and sand tend to get ground into mortar from heavy foot traffic.

Dirt collecting carpet mats should be placed in frequently used entrances and shaken out weekly.

We do not recommend to use of floor waxes as they can be difficult to remove from ceramic tile floors. As long as your floor is properly sealed and maintained, you should find no need for these products.

Shower stall and tub enclosures should have proper ventilation. stagnant water breeds stain causing mildew as well as other fungi.

Many tile cleaners are acid based and their use should be limited. Always read the manufactures label to find out. All acids, no matter how weak, will etch Marble surfaces. Natural Marble is commonly installed as thresholds in doorways and is also installed for windows sills and shower curbs. In addition, avoid any cleaner that contains harsh abrasives.

Mop or sponge your tile down 2 to 3 times weekly. Mix 1 capful of dishwashing liquid per gallon of hot water. Mop up excess water and allow to dry. Buffing with a dry towel will help reduce spotting.
