Tiles

Once a repair has been completed the repaired area is touch dry within 10 to 15 minutes. The repaired area, however, will take 1 hr to fully cure. Curing time may take longer, up to 24 hrs, depending on the weather and conditions. Your Tech will advise if this is the case. Do not clean or use the repaired surface before the area has fully cured.

Cleaning

GLAZED TILES
For glazed porcelain tiles, use the following instructions for general cleaning:

Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the floor. An untreated dry dust mop is recommended instead of a broom. Mop the floor with a mild cleaning solution (do not use wax, oil-based, or abrasive cleaners). Rinse the tile thoroughly with clean and clear water. Drying is also recommended – to increase the shine and to prevent water spots

TEXTURED TILE

A textured porcelain tile surface requires additional cleaning procedures. A standard wet mopping will not effectively clean a textured surface. For cleaning textured surfaces, follow these instructions.

Sweep or vacuum dust and debris from the floor. When sweeping, use a soft-bristle broom and sweep in two directions. First follow the direction of the tile and then sweep diagonally. This will ensure the removal of all foreign material residing in the texture. Saturate the tile with a neutral cleaning solution, such as vinegar diluted with hot water. Allow the cleaning solution to remain on the floor for 5–10 minutes. Scrub the floor with a brush once more using a two-direction method.
Rinse the floor with clean, clear water to remove the cleaning solution.

For high traffic locations, it is recommended to clean the floor at least once per day and wet mop at
regular intervals.

*ALWAYS REMEMBER*

•Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia-based cleaners may modify grout colour.

•Do not use wax, oil-based, abrasive cleaners or sealants.

•Agents that contain any dyes or colours are not recommended.

•Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors.

•Do not use steel wool pads, because loose steel particles may create rust stains in
the grout.
