Ceramic & Porcelain Tile

CLEANING CERAMIC & PORCELAIN TILE FLOORS: (Daily-Weekly)

Product: Ceramiclean® Remove all abrasive debris from the floor surface. Mix 1-2 ounces of Ceramiclean per gallon of warm water. With a clean bucket and clean rayon or sponge mop, apply the Ceramiclean to the surface. Let the solution dry. Rinsing is only required for heavily soiled surfaces

SEALING TILE & GROUT: (Every 1-2 years)

Product: Stone Spray-N-Seal® Surface must be dry for 6-12 Hours. Clean countertops with Clean Encounters® or Marbamist®. For Floors, use Marbalex®. Cover surrounding areas that are not intended to be sealed. Liberally spray the surface until it is wet. When the surface begins to dry within 3-5 minutes, wet the surface again with the sealer. After 30 minutes, wipe off any excess sealer with a clean and dry white terry cloth or towel. You can also apply the Stone Spray-N-Seal® to the grout to prevent dirt from penetrating into the grout.

SEALING GROUT: (Every 1-3 years)

Product: Grout Lock™ Allow newly applied grout to cure overnight before applying sealer. Clean existing grout thoroughly before sealing. Test in an inconspicuous place for compatibility and satisfactory seal by seeing if water beads on the surface. SHAKE CAN WELL BEFORE USING. Invert can and point nozzle away from you; aim it at the grout line from a height of 10-15 inches. Press the nozzle and spray along the grout line, avoiding excess sealer that may result in pooling or residue. If pooling occurs, it is best to remove with a cloth while wet. (A cloth dampened with warm water will easily wipe up residue when it is dried). Apply a second coat after 30 minutes for best protection. At least one hour after sealing, apply a drop of water to the grout. If it does not bead up and is absorbed, another coat should be applied. * The floor may be walked on when dried to the touch and full cure is achieved in 24 hours. * Depending on traffic and wear, sealer may need to be reapplied after 1-3 years.
