There are many varieties of natural stone tiles, and while each has different properties, they all have a few characteristics in common: No natural stone tile is completely stain- or damageproof, being porous by nature, they require special care. Keep in mind that all materials and finishes hold contaminants differently. A glossy tile may not stain as readily as a matte tile, but polished finishes show scratches more easily. Like all materials, natural stone tiles need maintenance, including cleaning and sealing. The frequency of a maintenance program depends on the tiled area’s location and the use it gets. The busier an area is, or the more exposure it has to the elements, the more maintenance it will require. A bustling family kitchen and a seldom-used guest bath may represent opposite extremes, but you get the idea. A pool area may need to be cleaned more frequently because of its exposure to water and chemicals. Your maintenance plan may consist of a weekly cleaning and semi-annual resealing a daily cleaning and monthly resealing or something in between. How to clean: Regularly sweep or vacuum your tiled floor to remove any dirt or debris. Walking over a floor that needs cleaning may permanently stain or scratch it if abrasive debris is dragged across the surface. To keep your tiled-and-sealed walls and/or floors looking good, we recommend using our specialty cleaners and maintenance products. When selecting cleaning tools, opt for stiff, bristled plastic brushes, white scouring pads, and mops. Avoid tools with metal bristles. We recommend the Laticrete Revitalizer 2-in-1 Citrus Scent Cleaner and Sealant Spray for Natural Stone & Grout to clean everyday messes. When applied regularly, its built-in sealer extends the life of the product and prevents stains, making surfaces easier to clean. Before using any product on your tiles, including cleaners, sealers, and brushes, we recommend testing in an inconspicuous area for damage or discoloration. When washing a floor, use plenty of clean water. Rinse, mop, and repeat until the water in the bucket is clear. Transition areas where floors and walls meet, as well as areas that are likely to be exposed to spills or other messes, such as the wall behind a stove, may require special attention when cleaning. Sealing natural stone tile: All natural stone tiles require a sealer, and in most cases, you will need to use a pre-sealer or grout release before grouting. Prolonged exposure to water can affect the wear and look of natural stone tile. To avoid damage, test all cleaners, sealers, and cleaning tools (such as scrub brushes) on the tile before use. Stains and scratches: Different stains or contaminants may require different cleaners. For example, a cleaner with a neutral pH is good for removing grease and oils. For soap scum, hard water deposits, or mildew, use a gentle all-purpose spray cleaner or a cleanser intended for natural stone tiles. A complete list of our cleaners is available here. We recommend the Laticrete Heavy Duty KlenzAll™ Cleaner Concentrate for Natural Stone, Tile, & Grout to remove tough dirt, grease, and grime. If you choose to use a harsher or more acidic cleaner for stubborn stains, be careful it doesn’t come into contact with adjacent materials. Test harsher cleaning materials in an inconspicuous spot to ensure they won’t cause damage. After applying the cleaning product, scrub, then let the product sit to work as directed. Remove the product with a damp sponge and rinse thoroughly before drying. Even sealed tiles must be cleaned right away after a spill. It is best to avoid using permanent inks or dyes near your natural stone tiles. If ink or dyes do come into contact with your tiles, rinse with water right away and use a cleaning product that is safe for natural stone tiles.
