MAINTENANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Professional cleaning and maintenance protocols to preserve tile appearance and performance.
Routine Cleaning
Daily Maintenance Sweep or vacuum to remove loose dirt and debris. Damp mop with pH-neutral cleaner diluted according to manufacturer instructions. Avoid acidic or alkaline cleaners on polished surfaces.
Weekly Deep Clean Use microfiber mop with recommended cleaning solution. Pay attention to grout lines and textured surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to prevent residue buildup.
Commercial Environments Increase cleaning frequency based on traffic levels. Use automatic scrubber-dryers for large areas. Implement entrance matting systems to reduce dirt ingress.
Surface Protection
Stain Prevention Wipe spills immediately, particularly acidic substances (wine, citrus, coffee). Apply penetrating sealer to grout joints in high-risk areas. Re-seal grout annually in commercial applications.
Scratch Prevention Use furniture pads under table and chair legs. Avoid dragging heavy objects across tile surface. Place protective mats in high-traffic entry points.
UV Protection Enzo Rossetti tiles are UV-stable and colorfast. However, use window treatments to minimize heat stress in areas with intense direct sunlight, particularly on external facades.
Restoration
Deep Stain Removal For stubborn stains, use poultice method with appropriate solvent. Test in inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaning pads on polished finishes.
Grout Refresh Regrout joints if cracking or discoloration occurs. Clean grout lines with specialized cleaner before resealing. Consider epoxy grout for long-term performance.
Professional Service For commercial installations, schedule periodic professional deep cleaning and inspection. We can recommend certified maintenance contractors in your region.
