CARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARE AND MAINTENNANCE INSTRUCTIONS:

Glass Tile:

For normal care and maintenance of glass le, wiping the surface with a damp sponge or clothe

with water or a light vinegar soluon is sucient. If stronger cleaning is needed, a nonabrasive,

neutral pH cleaner can be used.

Glass le may be damaged from impact with hard or heavy objects, which can lead to chipping or

breakage causing sharp cung edges that can lead to injuries. Always replace any damaged glass

les immediately.

Pearl Tile:

Mother of Pearl and Pearl Shell les must be regularly cleaned and maintained to extend the life

and beauty of the le. The les can be cleaned with a neutral mild detergent. Keep surfaces clean

from abrasive dirt and do not use abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steel wool or sandpa-

per. Do not let soap, bleach or other cleaning soluons set on the surface. Seashells consist pri-

marily of Calcium Carbonate and do not react with acid.

Stone and Marble Tiles:

For normal care and maintenance of stone les, clean stone surfaces with a few drops of neutral

cleaner, stone soap, or a mild liquid dishwashing detergent and warm water. Use a clean so cloth

for best results. Too much cleaner or soap may leave a lm and cause streaks. Do not use products

that contain lemon, vinegar, or other acids on marble or limestone. Rinse the surface thoroughly

aer washing with the soap soluon and dry with a so cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners

Porcelain Tiles:

Porcelain le is resistant to germs and bacteria and it is also among the easiest of ooring materi-

als to clean. You can clean your porcelain le with a damp sponge mop. A soluon of 1/4 cup of

white vinegar to 2 gallons of water works best – allow me for drying. You can also sweep or vacu-

um. Although porcelain le is by denion impervious, it is sll possible for its surface to discolor.

Ivy Hill Tile CARE AND MAINTENANCE 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.
