DIY made easy! Clean your main floor after tiling Once your tiles have been laid and grouted, they will need to be cleaned thoroughly to remove all residue cement and grout smears, silicone leaching and dirt. This cleaning is best done about a week after laying the tiles, as the grout will require 5-7 days to properly dry and age. Step 1 Begin by sweeping the floor to remove all loose debris. Then saturate the grout joints with cool, clean water. Step 2 Dilute phosphoric acid cleaner in warm water and apply the solution to the section of floor to be cleaned. Note: Once the solution has been applied to the floor, it cannot be allowed to dry until it is thoroughly rinsed. Add more water as necessary. Step 3 Once the solution has been left for 5-6 minutes (to break down the excess grout, dirt, and grease), scrub the tiles with a brush to lift the dirt, and remove with a wet vacuum cleaner. Repeat steps 3 and 4 if necessary.

Note: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using cleaning products on your tiles.

Keeping your floor tiles clean Step 1 Vacuum or sweep the area. This will remove most of the dirt and grit from the area. As well as making the next step much easier, getting rid of these little abrasive particles will protect your tiles from becoming scratched. Step 2 Dilute Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner (refer to the manufacturer’s instructions) and apply to tiles with a mop or sponge. Agitate solution with a brush or scrub pad and mop up the dirty solution before it dries. 508005 Concentrated Stone & Tile Cleaner
