Are your Tiles & Grout not looking quite as good they once did?
Are the cleaning products you’re using on your tiles not doing the job you want them to?
Here’s some simple and easy ways to get those tiles looking just how you want them – as good as new.
1. All spills should be cleaned up as quickly as possible.
2. Use only the recommended dilution of cleaner and follow all instructions carefully.
4. Scrub with white nylon pad as these are softest.
5. Rinse thoroughly with clean, clear water to remove the dirty solution, contaminant and any chemical residue.
Rinsing is a critical step in the maintenance procedure. Use a wet vacuum, dry mop or towel if necessary. If dirty solution is not removed and is allowed to dry on the surface, a coating will form which may be difficult to remove and will attract dirt.
GROUT SEALER
Concerned about your grout getting dirty?
We recommend Aqua-Seal Spray’N’Seal Aerosol Grout Sealer
Sealing your Grout helps with maintenance. Grout is porous, just like a sponge. Spills & dirt can soak into your grout leaving it dirty & hard to get clean again. Grout Sealer once applied, resists water, oil & acid-based contaminants, will keep your grout looking good, simplifies maintenance & does not change the appearance of the grout.
Spray’N’Seal is a breathable, premium natural look sealer designed for maximum stain resistance to grout. Fast sealing with excellent results, can be used for Interior and Exterior is non-yellowing and UV resistant. Expected wear is up to 5 years (will vary depending on surface wear plus frequency & type of maintenance products used). If Grout has been dirty for a long time it must be thoroughly cleaned before sealing.
As you can see on our in store experiment, the tissue sprayed with Spray’N’Seal keeps a hold of the red wine we have poured over it, where as the tissue with no sealer pours straight through!
Please read all instructions on the can before using.

Cleaning Materials
We recommend using White Nylon Cleaning Pads when it comes to cleaning stubborn areas on tiles. These are not as harsh as the green kitchen scotch pads but still tough enough to do the job.
