Tile & Stone

Tile Maintenance Tips From Rickway: Use walk-off mats inside and outside entrances. Sweep floor often. Make certain that any cleanser you have chosen is compatible with grout cleaning, (neutral pH), and will not stain the grout. Never use a detergent or soap, because it can dull the surface or promote the growth of mildew. Routine cleaners should never contain acids, vinegar, chlorines or ammonia, as these chemicals can damage and discolor the grout or the surface of the stone or tile. Wait at least 72 hours after installation (to allow new ceramic tile and grout to dry) before damp mopping.
