Tile care & maintenance
Keep your tiles looking their best!
Congratulations - your tiles are down and you are ready to enjoy them. Here are some helpful tips to keep them looking their best!
1. Keep spares for repairs
When you first buy tiles it's important to keep a few spares for repairs, just in case of any unforeseen damage. If you are planning to tile additional areas with the same tiles, order them now to ensure consistency of shade as tiles vary slightly between batches.
2. Protect your tiles
Use felt gliders under your furniture to prevent potential scratching. Door mats are a must have for any entrance to catch dust and grit before it makes a way into your home.
3. Maintain your tiles
Tiles are hard wearing, eco-friendly and they do not dent or stain as easily as other flooring materials. With some simple protection measures and light regular cleaning your tiles will last, and look fantastic for many years to come!

Tiles look beautiful once laid and are easy to clean. Dirt and grime can still accumulate, so some regular cleaning will keep them looking as good as new.
All Newly Laid Tiles
◊ 24 hours after the grout has dried, all tiles (especially Microtec tiles) should be washed with Microtec Cement Residue Remover following the instructions on the bottle.
HOW TO MAINTAIN
indoor tiles
◊ For everyday or weekly cleaning, vacuum or sweep tiles first to remove loose dust and grit from the surface.
◊ For a thorough clean use Beaumonts GreenClean Everyday Tile Cleaner or Miracle Tile & Stone Cleaner with warm water and a damp microfibre mop. The mop should ‘grab’ the surface and lift off most daily grime with a little pressure.
◊ Avoid the use of overly wet cotton and sponge mops, a microfibre Bona Tile Hybrid & Laminate Surface Spray Mop is superior for a streak-free clean.
◊ Avoid all soap based products as they can leave a thin film on the tiles that will attract more dirt.
◊ Work from one side of the room to the other, and avoid walking on the tiles until they are dry.
◊ Steam mops are a popular choice for polished porcelain tiles.
◊ Never use polishes or gritty, abrasive cleaners on tiles.
Grout Haze
◊ If you notice a dull haze just after your new tiles are laid, or you are finding that your tiles are getting dirty very quicklydon’t panic! This will likely be grout residue. The good news is that it’s easily washed off with Beaumonts Microtec Cement Residue Remover by following the instructions on the label.
◊ Grout additives or boosters should be avoided with Microtec or textured tiles. If they have been used, clean the tiles with Lithofin Wax-Off or Resin-EX, first before the initial grout haze clean.
For initial cleaning of Microtec Textured tiles we recommend
Beaumonts Microtec Cement Residue Remover
◊ Dilute up to 1:1 with water
◊ Let the cleaner dwell for approximately 15 minutes
◊ Scrub the surface with a doodle pad or stiff bristle brush
◊ Mop up residue and wash with GreenClean Everyday Tile Cleaner as a final step
For everyday cleaning of all tiles we recommend
Beaumonts GreenClean Everyday Tile Cleaner
HOW TO MAINTAIN
grout lines
◊ Once your tiles are laid, we recommend sealing your grout with Miracle Spray On Grout Sealer. It is simple to apply - just spray and wipe! It won't affect the colour of your grout and seals the surface to assist in ongoing cleaning.
◊ To refresh grout, use Miracle Tile and Stone Cleaner and a brush, all available from Beaumont Tiles.
◊ Use on tiles, grout, porcelain, stone
◊ Safe for regular use
◊ Strong enough for stubborn spots
◊ Use indoors and outdoors
◊ No odours
◊ Non toxic
HOW TO MAINTAIN
outdoor tiles
◊ Hose the area down to wet the surface.
◊ Scrub or sweep with a strong bristled broom.
◊ Microtec Cement Residue Remover will remove mild grime.
◊ To finish, hose the area and remove excess dirt left behind.
◊ For larger areas, work in sections starting closest to the house and work away from the wall.
