NOTICE!

- Cleaning and maintenance program depends essentially on the density of traffic, the condition of the surrounding area where the tiles are installed and the nature of dirt to which the floors or walls are exposed. Thus, routine cleaning and maintenance must be performed according to specific requirements.
-  The performance of a product is limited to such an extent. Any spillage of tea, coffee, paint, permanent marker, hair dye and the like on the tiles must be immediately cleaned to prevent severe staining. It is possible that these substances may leave light mark or slight discoloration on the tiles if not immediately cleaned.
-  It is not advisable to use hydroflouric acid solution or its compound for cleaning.
-  Do not use metal tools to scrape the dirt from the surface of the tiles.
