Maintenance Information
New Installations
• Please do not attempt to clean new installations for a minimum of 24 hours after
completing the grouting process.
• After 24 hours remove loose dirt by vacuuming or sweeping.
• Follow directions and prepare a cleaning solution using warm water and a neutral ph
cleaner specifically designed for cleaning Glass Mosaic Tile. These types of cleaners are
available from tile suppliers.
• Thoroughly clean the Glass Mosaic Tile, including the grout joints, using a nylon scrub
brush or nylon scrub pad following the manufacturer’s directions.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water and allow to dry. A second rinsing may be
needed to completely remove the cleaning solution.
Installations after grout has cured ten days and existing installations
• Use the following method for installations with cement based grout or setting material
haze that require a stronger cleaning solution. Wait 10 days after the grout has been
installed then use a Sulfidic Acid cleaner such as C-Clean or Custom Clean. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions using a nylon scrub brush or nylon scrub pad.
TIPS:
• Try applying the solution and allowing it to soak in for 3-5 minutes followed by re-
applying and scrubbing.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water and allow to dry. A second rinsing may be
needed to completely remove the cleaning solution.
• Stone and tile strippers. The stripper will work to clean latex smears not removed by
using acid based cleaners. Allow a minimum of 10 days cure time and always follow the
manufacturer’s directions.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water and allow to dry. A second rinsing may be
needed to completely remove the cleaning solution.
