Floors:
Frequent sweeping is the easiest way to protect flooring surfaces. Soil is abrasive and it can get ground into and scratch stone. Use a broom with a bristle that matches your surface, a soft broom for smooth finishes and medium soft for textured surfaces.
Damp mopping with water picks up microscopic abrasive soils and potential staining agents. This is recommended for most smooth surfaces on a regular basis.
Superior® Grout & Tile Neutral Cleaner is The Tile Shop’s

or wipe the stone surface, and apply Superior® Grout & Tile Neutral Cleaner per label instructions to thoroughly clean, enhance and protect ceramic and
porcelain floors. Superior® Grout & Tile Neutral Cleaner removes soil and grime
