Typically more porous than other hard surfaces, tile and grout can soil easily. Once a stain is in those areas, it can be especially difficult to get out. To help you tackle these tough jobs, Mohawk developed the FloorCare Essentials Tile and Grout Cleaner.
When a surface is stained or mildewed, spray the cleaner on liberally to start the process. Depending on how tough the stain is, clean it with a cloth or a grout cleaning brush. To finish, just wipe away any soil residue with a clean cloth or a mop. The streak free shine is an indication that the solution left a protective barrier to help prevent re-soiling, an additional feature of the product.
As with all of the FloorCare Essentials products, the Tile and Grout cleaner is non-toxic and biodegradable. In fact, all Mohawk FloorCare Essentials products have been awarded the distinguished U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s “Design for the Environment” seal. Its refreshing scent will be an indication of its cleaning power as you use it on tile, stone, slate, granite, and marble.
Protecting your Tile investments:
- Vacuum or sweep regularly to remove any dirt or grit.
- Remove spills promptly using a clean, dry Microfiber cloth and clean residue from spill with Mohawk FloorCare Essentials Tile and Grout Cleaner and a clean microfiber cloth.
- Use felt protectors under heavy pieces of furniture and chairs.
- Use protective mats at all exterior entrances.
- Cleaners should never contain acids or ammonia. Acids can damage the grout and the glazed surface of the tile, and ammonia can discolor the grout.
- For removing grease, soap scum and mildew stains from grout joints see your flooring retailer for a professional strength grout cleaner.
- Never use oil soaps or wax to clean your tile floor.
- Protect your floor when using a dolly for moving furniture or appliances. Never slide or roll heavy furniture or appliances across the floor.
- If you need to remove sealers or waxes from your tile floor see your flooring retailer for a tile sealer and adhesive remover.
