Installation Guide

• The complete removal of grout and construction dirt after
products have been installed will improve daily maintenance.
• Clean successfully by scrubbing the installation with hot
water and a pH neutral liquid cleaner (soapless), followed by
a thorough rinsing, then remove the rinse water with a wet
vacuum or dry toweling.
• If some residue remains, further cleaning will need to be done
in consultation with the grout manufacturer.
• For more aggressive cleaning, floor scrubbing machines
equipped with nylon pads or brushes should be used. Wet
vacuuming of the suspended dirt and grout is recommended.
