Glass, Porcelain And Ceramic Tile Flooring Care And Maintenance
The Nonn's Design Showplace guide to keeping your ceramic tile floor looking like new:
Routine care of ceramic tile is made easy because glazed ceramics are impervious to staining. Nonn's recommends Aqua Mix "Tile and Grout Cleaner" for mopping.
Sweep or vacuum the area before damp mopping. Remember to rinse your mop and change the cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly.
Aqua Mix Tile spray cleaner is a quick spray and wipe cleaner that works well for small spills. Never use a cleaner that contains ammonia or other acids. Cleaners that contain these may etch the tile glaze or discolor your grout.
Seal your Grout! After your grout has cured 48 hours Nonn's Design Showplace recommends Aqua Mix "Grout Sealer" or "Sealer's Choice" to seal your grout. When used properly, a sealer can prevent staining and overall dirt from being absorbed by your grout. This will simplify future maintenance. Depending upon wear and your care and maintenance routine, sealers may need to be reapplied eventually.
