STS Ceramic
Care
Proper maintenance is the key to a trouble-free ceramic tile floor. Damp mop weekly. You should damp mop your floor at least
one time per week (more often for heavy traffic areas). We recommend EverClean from Shaw's line of Floor Covering Care Products. If EverClean is not available, clean tap water can be used intermittently. Never use a detergent or soap, because it can dull the surface or promote the growth of mildew.
Caution: You should allow your new ceramic tile and grout to dry for at least 72 hours after installation before damp mopping.

Use protective mats
Good quality entry and exit mats will help protect
your ceramic tile from premature wear. They trap the
dirt, sand, grit, and other substances such as oil,
asphalt, or driveway sealer that would otherwise be
tracked onto your floor. Mats are also suggested at
heavy pivot locations, such as in front of your kitchen
sink or stove.
Add
protective pads to furniture
Protect your tile by affixing felt or similar pads
to the legs of any metal, iron, wood, or plastic furniture
that will be placed on it. Exterior metal furniture
which rests on tile floors or patios may rust and cause
staining.
