Care & Maintenance
 
 

 

Please reference your tile floor warranty for specific care requirements to use in conjunction with these basic tips and facts from our experts.

  • As needed, sweep your floor to remove dirt and grit. You should do this at least once per week, if not more often.
  • Wipe spills promptly using a clean, dry cloth.
  • Damp-mop once a week (or more often for heavy traffic areas) using a special cleaner we can recommend—just ask your sales associate for guidance.
  • Make sure the cleanser you use is a neutral pH compatible with grout cleaning.
  • Never use detergent or soap, which can dull the surface of your tile or promote mildew growth.
  • Cleaners should never contain acids, vinegar, chlorines, or ammonia, as these chemicals can damage and discolor both the grout and the stone or tile.
  • Use protective mats in entryways and pads under furniture legs.
  • Make sure you wait the proper time for grout to cure before you apply a sealer.
