Use and Care Guide

CLEANING TEXTURED GLAZED PROD-
UCTS
A textured tile surface requires additional
cleaning procedures. A standard
wet-mopping may not effectively clean a
textured surface. For cleaning textured
surfaces, follow these instructions:
1. Sweep or vacuum dust and debris
from the floor. When sweeping, use a
soft-bristle broom and sweep in multiple
directions. First follow the direction of the
tile, and then sweep diagonally. This will
ensure the removal of all foreign material
that might be residing in the texture.
2. Saturate the tile with a neutral tile
cleaning solution, mild detergent, or a
degreaser. Allow the cleaning solution to
remain on the floor 5 - 10 minutes. Scrub
the floor with a medium bristle brush,
again using a two-direction method.
3. Rinse the floor with clean water to
remove any left-over detergents.
4. For high trac areas it is recommend-
ed to clean the floor at least once per day
and wet mop at regular intervals.
5. Drying with a clean cloth or rag is
recommended to increase the shine and
to prevent water spots.
WHEN CLEANING ALWAYS FOLLOW
THESE GUIDELINES
1. Do not clean tile flooring with clean-
ers that contain ammonia, bleach and/or
acids which may modify grout color and
stability.
2. Use a cleaner that is pH neutral. Do
not use wax, oil-based, abrasive cleaners,
or sealants.
3. Agents that contain any dyes or
colors are not recommended.
4. Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt
and grit from being tracked onto the tile
flooring from outdoors. Tiles are scratch
resistant but not scratch proof.
5. Do not use steel wool pads to
remove tough debris or stains. Steel wool
may scratch your tile and loose steel
particles may eventually create rust
stains in the grout over time.
