How to Care for Your Ceramic Tile
Purchase a high quality dust mop and sweep your ceramic tile floors daily. This is especially important in new installations where the grout has not fully cured. Dirt, mud and sand grind into the grout mortar from heavy foot traffic. Dirt collecting mats should be placed in frequently used entrances and shaken out weekly. We do not recommend the 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 fungal growth. Mop or sponge your tile down 2-3 times weekly. Mix 1 capful of dish washing liquid per gallon of hot water. Mop up excess water and rinse with fresh water. Mop excess water again and allow to dry. Buffing with a dry towel will help reduce spotting.
How to Care for Your Marble and Natural Stone
Dust mop interior floors frequently using a non-treated dry dust mop. Sand, dirt, and grit do the most damage to natural stone surfaces due to their abrasive qualities. Mats or area rugs inside and outside an entrance will help to minimize the particles that will scratch your stone floor. Be sure that the underside of the mat or rug has a non-slip surface. Normally, it will take a person about 8 steps on a floor surface to remove sand or dirt from the bottom of their shoes. Do NOT use vacuum cleaners that are worn. The metal or plastic attachments on the wheels may scratch the surface.
DOs:
- DO must mop frequently.
- DO clean surfaces with mild detergent or stone soap.
- DO thoroughly rinse & dry the surface after washing.
- DO blot up spills immediately.
- DO protect floor surfaces with non-slip mats or area rugs and counter tops with coasters or trivets.
DON’Ts:
- DON’T use vinegar, lemon juice or cleaners containing acids or marble, limestone, travertine or onyx.
- DON’T use cleaners that contain acid such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub & tile cleaners.
- DON’T use abrasive cleaners such as dry cleansers or soft cleansers.
- DON’T mix bleach and ammonia; this combination creates a toxic and lethal gas.
