Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid, as this may modify the grout color.

Rinse the floor with clean, clear water to remove the cleaning solution.įor high traffic locations, we suggest cleaning the floor at least once per day and wet mop at regular intervals.

Scrub the floor with a brush using the two-direction method.

Allow the cleaning solution to remain on the floor 5–10 minutes.

Next, saturate the tile with a neutral cleaning solution such as vinegar and hot water and stir.

This effectively dislodges dust and debris from inside the textured surface.

When sweeping, use a soft-bristle broom and sweep in two directions: first, sweep along the direction of the grain in the tile.

Porcelain tile, while impervious, may still have its surface subject to discoloration if not cared for properly. We suggest a solution of 1/4 cup of white vinegar to every 2 gallons of water. Porcelain tile is one of the easiest flooring materials to clean.

We highly recommend applying grout release prior to grouting the tile to facilitate cleaning and for protection against staining from contrasting color grouts.įor the best results, use a wet-saw with a new, continuous rim diamond blade designed to cut ceramic tile.

Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints.

Before grouting, test an area to make sure the stone surface will not scratch.

For all-ceramic tiles, we suggest using non-sanded grout in order to prevent scratching.

When installing our ceramic material, use a 3/16' or 1/4' square notch trowel.

We suggest using a 9' Trowel with a 1/8' square notch.

Prior to fixing the tiles in the mortar bed, use the flat side of the trowel to smooth down the ridges.

Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16” and not butt set.

Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes.

For faster installation, use a rapid curing thin-set mortar. To avoid affecting the color of the tile, we highly recommend using white thin-set mortar. This will also help you plan out the placement of the pieces, which is especially helpful with tiles that have a lot of variation. Make sure that you practice laying out the pattern. Think about the cuts in advance and visualize the installation. We recommend that you dry-fit your pattern first.
