Tile & Stone Care & Maintenance — Simple Upkeep for Lasting Beauty

Regular sweeping, dusting, or vacuuming keeps dirt, dust, and debris from building up — and your floors looking and feeling clean day to day.

Unlike hardwood, laminate, or resilient flooring, tile and stone actually benefit from a weekly steam clean or wet mop using a manufacturer-approved cleaner that's also safe for grout. This helps prevent dirt and grime from settling into grout lines over time.

For common household messes — spilled water, wine, pet accidents, and similar spills — wipe away or mop the area immediately. A word of caution: tile and stone can be very slippery when wet, so let the floor dry thoroughly before anyone walks across it.

Avoid cleaning products that contain acids, vinegar, chlorine, or ammonia. These chemicals can damage or discolor your grout, or dull and etch the surface of your tile or stone — especially natural stone. Always check your manufacturer's guidelines to confirm you're using an approved cleaning solution for your specific tile material.
