sure the removal of all foreign material that might be residing in the texture. 
•  Saturate the le with a neutral cleaning soluon, such as vinegar, with hot water and sr. Allow 
the cleaning soluon to remain on the oor 5 – 10 minutes. Scrub the oor with a brush; again us-
ing a two-direcon method. 
•  Rinse the oor with clean, clear water to remove the cleaning soluon.

mop at regular intervals. 
Always Remember:

•  Agents that contain any dyes or colors are not recommended. 
•  Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the le ooring from out-
doors. 
•  Do not use steel wool pads, because loose steel parcles may create rust stains in the grout.
