Maintenance: Highly recommended to purchase the Unpolished Porcelain Maintenance Kit. Porcelain tile is resistant to germs and bacteria and it is also among the easiest of flooring materials to clean. You can clean your porcelain tile with a damp sponge mop. A solution of 1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of water works best – allow time for drying. You can also sweep or vacuum. Although porcelain tile is by definition impervious, it is still possible for its surface to discolor. The following instructions explain how to clean porcelain tile surfaces. For cleaning unpolished surfaces, follow these instructions: Sweep or vacuum dust and debris from the floor. When sweeping, use a soft-bristle broom and sweep in 2 directions. First follow the direction of the tile, and then sweep diagonally. This will ensure the removal of all foreign material that might be residing in the texture. Saturate the tile with a neutral cleaning solution, such as vinegar, with hot water and stir. Allow the cleaning solution to remain on the floor 5 – 10 minutes. Scrub the floor with a brush; again using a two-direction method. Rinse the floor with clean, clear water to remove the cleaning solution. For high traffic locations, it is recommended to clean the floor at least once per day and wet mop at regular intervals. Do not clean tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia based cleaners may modify grout color. Do not use wax, oil-based, abrasive cleaners, or sealants. Agents that contain any dyes or colors are not recommended. Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors. Do not use steel wool pads, because loose steel particles may create rust stains in the grout
