Regardless of application, tile provides a low-maintenance solution for your home.
Superior performance means less mess and more peace of mind.
Ceramic tile is low-maintenance, moisture-resistant, scratch-resistant, and stain-resistant, so whatever life throws on your surfaces, you’re ready for it.
Stain Resistant
Messes are a part of everyday life, and your floors better be able to handle them. Most times, tile only needs water for easy cleanup!
MAINTENANCE TIP
No.3
Stay away from using harsh cleaners on a regular basis. The effect of using cleaners with a high pH (bleach – alkaline) or low pH (vinegar – acidic) over and over is that they may break down some sealers which are there to help prevent soap scum, oils, and dirt from penetrating into the grout.
MAINTENANCE TIP
No.4
Always rinse with clean, clear water after cleaning to remove any residue. Any residual cleaner, soap, or detergent must be removed to prevent it from leaving the tile dull and susceptible to more rapid soiling.
MAINTENANCE TIP

Nylon or plastic scrubbers are handy and generally won’t scratch. These are great tools for helping care for your tile and grout.

MAINTENANCE TIP
No.2
From there, clear, clean water is often all that’s needed to clean your tile. If you find you must use something stronger, turn to a neutral cleaner made specifically for grout or tile, or a mildly alkaline detergent (i.e., “Mr. Clean,” “Spic and Span”).
