This important information will help keep your tiles looking their best for many years to come. Follow these simple instructions:

Prior to Installation:

• Check that the product and quantities are correct.
• Conduct a test run or ‘dry lay’ to determine where cuts will need to be made.
  Important note: Final Installation of the product constitutes full acceptance.

Care and Maintenance:

• Regular inspection is the best way to keep your tiles in good condition.
• DO NOT use acid or detergent based cleaners on your tiles.
• Ceramic and porcelain tiles do not need to be sealed. Always seal natural stone and cement tiles.
• We recommend using PH neutral tile cleaners or warm water mixed with white vinegar; four parts water to one part vinegar.
• Tiles can be cleaned with a steam mop.
• For a deep clean, use a soft bristle broom with a PH neutral tile cleaner.
