Ceramic Tile
- Care and Maintenance
Ceramic tile is easy to maintain for years of beauty.
- Sweep or vacuum on a regular basis.
- Wash routinely with ceramic tile cleaner. Rinse thoroughly to
remove residue and wipe dry.
- Abrasive slip-resistant glazed floor tiles may capture
tracking substances. These tiles may require more frequent mopping. When mopping, change
the cleaning solution often and always rinse with clean water.
