Use and Care Manual

MEGATRADE CORPORATION
CARE & MAINTENANCE FOR PORCELAIN AND CERAMIC:
Tile, whether glazed ceramic or porcelain, should be maintained on a regular and frequent basis to prevent
buildup of soil, grease, residue, soap detergents, ETC, to keep the surface clean and lessen slippery conditions.
Suggestions on Daily Maintenance:
Both porcelain and ceramic tiles are easy to clean and require low maintenance.
Following are some of the common guidelines for day to day maintenance of ceramic/porcelain surfaces:
* Remove all debris using an untreated dust mop, soft bristle broom or vacuum
* Follow by damp mopping with clean warm water
* On polished surfaces, dust mop floors frequently in order to avoid surface abrasion from the grit of the dust
particles
For moderately soiled floors:
* Use neutral cleaners to agitate surface
* Avoid cleaning solutions containing oils, fats or acids
* Follow directions provided by the manufacturer of cleaners for proper application and dilution
* Allow the cleaner to properly suspend the dirt
For heavily soiled floors:
* On an isolated part of the surface to be cleaned, use a natural-bristle brush, nylon scrubbing pad or floor
machine
* Use a degreaser in areas where necessary
* Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean warm water using a mop or a wet-vac
* Towel dry or buff tiles to prevent spots/streaks and to enhance the surface sheen
MEGATRADE DOES NOT RECOMMEND SEALING NOR ACID CLEANING ON ANY OF OUR CERAMIC OR PORCELAIN
TILE.
Note – The suggestions mentioned above are for general practice. In case of a particular project, it is
recommended that a professional installer/fabricator/restorer is consulted. It is also recommend that cleaning
solutions are tried in an isolated area to check for desired results. Megatrade disclaims any liability towards the
