Sintered Stone, is popular for its beauty, durability and versatility in residential and commercial spaces. Made from a mixture of natural ingredients and fired at extremely high temperatures, these tile panels are highly resistant to stains, scratches and moisture.
- Daily cleaning of tiles
To avoid scratching the surface, always clean your tiles with a soft cloth, microfibre mop or non-abrasive sponge. These materials are gentle on the surface and will prevent any damage.
For general cleaning, use warm water and a mild detergent or non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or cleaners that may cause discolouration or damage to the slab.
- Removing Stains
Most stains can be easily removed with a mixture of water and a mild detergent. Simply apply the solution to the stained area, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse with water and air dry.
If the stain persists, you can try using a stronger cleaner, such as a non-abrasive stone cleaner. Always test on a small inconspicuous area first to ensure the cleaner does not cause any damage.
- Prevent scratches and damage
Always use a cutting board when preparing food to avoid scratches from knives or other sharp objects.
Place furniture with care: When moving heavy furniture or appliances, be sure to lift them rather than dragging them across the tiled surface. Dragging can cause deep scratches that are difficult to repair.
Avoid abrasive cleaning tools: Do not use steel wool, abrasive pads, or rough brushes to clean tile. These tools may leave scratches on the tile surface or dull the surface over time.
- Maintaining Shine
To maintain a glossy surface, use a special porcelain tile polish or stone polish that is safe for sintered stone surfaces. Apply the polish with a soft, clean cloth and follow product instructions for best results.
Always avoid the use of ammonia, bleach or acidic cleaners as these substances can strip the surface of the tiles of their lustre. Use a mild, pH-neutral cleaning product to maintain the integrity of the surface.
Tile is an aesthetically pleasing and highly durable surface option for a variety of spaces, from kitchen countertops to bathroom walls and even outdoor areas. By following these simple care and maintenance tips, you can keep your tile looking beautiful and pristine for years to come.
