Tile and Grout Cleaning

Maintenance

General cleaners not specifically formulated for natural stone or tile are never recommended. These can breakdown the sealer, thereby removing its protective properties and making the stone and tile grout susceptible to stains. Worse yet, many cleaning products, including those that contain lemon, vinegar, bleach or ammonia can etch away the polish, discolor the surface, or even scratch your stone. Many cleaners have what is called a chelating agent in them. This agent breaks down and dissolves minerals in hard water. Since all stone is made up of minerals, these types of cleaners will dissolve and cause streaks over prolonged use. Pro-Care offers the complete line of StoneTech Professional™ Products.

Ceramic tile and grout is man-made clay fired material. Glazed ceramic tile does not normally require any protective treatment.

Pro-Care offers tile and grout cleaning and sealing.
