# Maintaining Your Tiles: A Cleaning Guide

Before regular cleaning begins, have your installer thoroughly remove wax residues, grout haze and installation debris from the tile surface. Avoid abrasive or harsh chemicals that may scratch or damage tile surfaces permanently.

Routine care  
1\. Sweep or vacuum to remove loose dirt, dust and debris before wet cleaning.  
2\. Use a cleaner suitable for your specific tile type and follow the tile and cleaner manufacturers’ instructions.  
3\. Mop with a light detergent solution only where recommended by the manufacturer.
