Sweep or vacuum regularly to prevent loose dirt from abrading your floor. Tracked-in dirt is abrasive and can mar the flooring surface. Normal maintenance for glazed or unglazed floor tile is damp mopping with a pH-balanced neutral cleaner (see below) and warm water. Thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing. You should not use a detergent on glazed tile, since soap film will give a dull appearance to the tile. No need to wax, polish or buff. Simply wiping glazed tile with a damp sponge or mop will maintain the luster. Do not use scouring powders; these products contain abrasives that may scratch the surface of the tile. Do not use vinegar or any cleaners containing acids or strong alkaline agents.<\/p><p>It is recommended to clean up spills on the tile as soon as possible. Use floor protectors on furniture legs. Do not push or pull your furniture or appliances across the floor without first protecting. To protect countertop surfaces, use coasters, trivets or placemats. Should your porcelain or ceramic tile become broken, chipped or damaged, it is possible to have it repaired. It is highly recommended to keep extra tiles from the original installation for future repairs.<\/p><p>Arizona Tile carries a complete line of cleaning products, including DryTreat Daily Counter Cleaner, as well as Beyond Stone&#8217;s Easy Scrub Deep Cleaning Cream and Easy Oxy Multi Surface Cleaner.<br \/><br \/>Find the nearest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arizonatile.com\/locations\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"PR\" data-uw-original-href=\"\/locations\">Arizona Tile location<\/a>\u00a0for more information.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Care &amp; Maintenance for Porcelain and Ceramic Print PDF To avoid damage caused by tracked-in dirt, place floor mats inside and outside of exterior entryways.
