Johnson Tiles' Tips for Cleaning and Maintaining Glazed Ceramic Wall Tiles

1. Initial Cleaning of Newly Installed Tiles. Remove residues of grout and foreign materials by wiping the wall once with a cleaning agent. Johnson Tiles recommends using Lithofin KF Active-Clean that is diluted in approximately 1:20 ratio. For small surfaces, simply squirt a dollop of the cleaning agent into a wet sponge and wipe the surface. Remember to always rinse the surface with water after using a cleaning product.

2. Used and Extremely Dirty Walls. It is important to remove grease, residues, and oily spots for safety and hygienic purposes. Running a basic cleaning using detergent and lukewarm water can remove such problems. In sanitary areas like bathrooms, showers, etc., it's better to use a stronger detergent diluted in water to remove encrustations like calcium deposits and ensure maximum sanitation.

3. Protective Treatment. Cement grout porous and is likely to absorb anything in the long run. Treating glazed wall tiles upon installation will enable the surface to be impenetrable by water and oil which could lead to long-term damage and inefficiency. There are grout protectors on the market that are suitable for these sorts of applications. Ask someone from a Johnson Tiles for recommendations.
