• Do read and follow label directions for all cleaners.
• Do keep this information and refer to it when necessary.
• Do not combine ammonia and household bleaches.
• Do not use harsh cleaning agents (such as steel wool pads) which can scratch or damage the surface of your
tile.
• Do not place sharp object on tile surface.
• Never use wax to clean tile surface.
Care and maintenance of Tile Grout
Grout may present a special cleaning problem because it is susceptible to many staining agents.
Apply a silicone sealer to grout joints several times a year for maximum protection.
In addition to keeping the grout clean, be sure to keep grout joints in good repair. Scrape out loose, cracked or
powdery joints and refill with a good grout.
One common grouting trouble spot is the joint between the tub and and the wall in your bathroom. As the house
or tub settles, the grout may crack and crumble. It's relatively simple to remedy. Remove the old grout with a
sharp pointed tool, watching out that you don't scratch tile or tub. Then dry the joint thoroughly and fill with a
flexible caulking compound, such as silicone rubber caulking.
