Use and Care Manual

Clean excess adhesive before it completely dries on the tiles with a damp cloth
or sponge.
Grouting may be done after tile is firmly set – approximately 24 hours after
installation. Clean the surface with a clean, damp sponge. We recommend
using a non-sanded grout. Excess grout should be cleaned from the surface as
the work progresses, while grout is fresh and before it hardens. Prior to
grouting, test in a small area to make sure the surface does not scratch during
grouting.
Seal the tiles and grout lines after grout, we recommend use of the DuPont™
StoneTech® Professional Sealer or 511 Impregnator to seal shell mosaic.
Maintenance
Shell mosaic tiles must be regularly cleaned and maintained to extend the life
and beauty of the tile. Use only a mild, pH-neutral detergent cleaner and damp
sponge or rag to clean your mosaic. Acid, alkaline, and solvent-based cleaners
can damage and/or discolor the tiles and the grout. We recommend the use of
the DuPont™ StoneTech® Professional Stone & Tile Cleaner for maintenance
cleaning of the surface. Keep surfaces clean from abrasive dirt and do not use
abrasive cleaners, powders, scouring pads, steel wool or sandpaper. Do not
allow soap, bleach or other cleaning solutions set on the surface. Do not wax
any part of your mosaic. Do not let stains sit on your mosaic’s surface for
extended periods. Clean promptly.
