Our knowledgeable staff is happy to answer any questions in additions to the tips listed below.
Start With a Clean Slate
Remove dry debris using a broom or dry microfiber mop/cloth to prepare the surface for cleaning
Clean With Care
Use clean hot water, replacing frequently to avoid spreading dirt. For tougher cleaning jobs, opt for a ph neutral or mildly alkaline cleaner, such as FILA's CleanAll. Avoid cleaners like PineSol and Swiffer's Wet Jet solution, which leave a residue.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Regular use of acidic (vinegar) or alkaline (bleach) cleaners can degrade sealer and damage your grout over time.
Rinse For Radiance
Use clean water to rinse away any cleaner residue, keeping tiles bright and less prone to soiling.
Choose The Right Tools
Choose nylon or plastic scrubbers to clean without scratching tile or grout.
