- Remove loose dirt by sweeping or vacuuming.
- Following directions, use a suitable floor cleaner or prepare
a cleaning solution using a neutral pH cleaner designed specifically
for cleaning ceramic tile. These types of cleaners are available
from ceramic tile suppliers.
- Thoroughly clean the ceramic tile including the grout joints.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean, warm water and allow to dry. A second
rinsing with clean water may be necessary to completely remove
all the cleaning solution.
- The grout on your ceramic tile needs time to thoroughly dry after
installation. Therefore, we recommend that you do not scrub or
wash your ceramic tile for five days.
