Frequently Asked Questions

A: For optimal appearance and hygiene, clean your interior porcelain tiles regularly. Floors should be swept or vacuumed daily to remove dust and debris. Mopping with a mild detergent or tile cleaner is recommended weekly or as needed. Wall tiles in areas like kitchens and bathrooms should be wiped down weekly or more frequently if exposed to grease or moisture. 

A: Use pH-neutral or mild alkaline cleaners specifically designed for porcelain tiles. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the tile surface and grout. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for any cleaning product. 

A: For tough stains, use a specialised porcelain tile cleaner. Apply the cleaner to the stain and let it sit for a few minutes, then scrub gently with a soft brush or non-abrasive pad. For very stubborn stains, you can use a poultice made from baking soda and water. Apply the paste, let it dry, then rinse off.

A: Keep grout clean by scrubbing it with a mixture of baking soda and water or a grout cleaner. Seal the grout lines annually to prevent staining and moisture absorption. If grout becomes discoloured or damaged, consider re-grouting the area. 

A: Porcelain tiles are highly resistant to scratching due to their hardness. However, as with any hard material, it is still possible. To prevent scratches, avoid dragging heavy furniture or sharp objects across the surface. Use felt pads under furniture legs and place doormats at entryways to catch grit and dirt.
