Protect and Extend the Life of Your New Flooring: Maintenance Tips from Abbey

Entryways

Seal Your Tile

• First, follow your manufacturer’s recommendations for cure time after your tile is installed.
  
• Next, give your tile a thorough cleaning. This may include removing any stains from your grout.
  
• Apply the sealer to the floor surface evenly, mop backwards towards the opening of the room, and allow the sealer to dry.
  

These protection tips along with regular sweeping and mopping will sustain the beauty of your tile and add lasting brilliance to your home décor.

Grout Cleaning

• Start off with a gentle (least acidic) household tile and grout cleaner first. If this doesn't do the job, move up to a harsher chemical cleaner. Try to avoid using bleach since it can alter the color of your grout and cause damage with repeated use.
• Spray cleaner onto a small length of grout and scrub with a stiff brush.
• Scrub in a circular motion rather than straight up and down. This will remove more debris.
• Rinse well with warm water and mop up and remaining moisture.
