Care & Maintenance

• Clean with pH-neutral, non-abrasive cleaners. Avoid acidic or harsh chemicals that may etch or dull polished porcelain.
• Use soft cloths or microfiber mops; avoid steel wool or stiff brushes that could scratch the polish.
• Wipe up spills immediately to prevent mineral deposits or water spots, especially in shiny surfaces.
• Use light-colored grout and thin-set to prevent color staining or visible edge discoloration.
• During installation, ensure a perfectly level subfloor, use large tile adhesives, and consider tile leveling systems to control lippage (especially with large format 48×48 tiles).
