How to use Interior Porcelain Tile Deep Cleaner

This product should be diluted, typically at 1:3 with warm clean water (1 part product to 3 parts water). This dilution rate can be altered to suit the level of contamination encountered. Interior Porcelain Tile Deep Cleaner is rarely applied undiluted, but you may wish to occasionally use the cleaner at a lower or stronger dilution rate than the typical 1:3 rate of dilution. Ultimately the end user can decide which dilution rate is optimal for their porcelain tiled floors.

Mop the solution onto the floor and agitate with a mop, allow approximately 15 minutes dwell time, then mop away with clean water. You should always rinse the floor with clean water after using this product. Do not allow the solution to dry during the dwell time, keep the surface wet by adding more product.

It is often beneficial to clean the joints/grout/pointing with a medium stiff brush. Older floors may have deeper recessed joints where a lot of dirt will have congregated. You can also quickly clean along the edges of the floor & up to kitchen units with a medium stiff brush.

Interior Porcelain Tile Deep Cleaner can also be used in conjunction rotary machines. The product should be mopped onto the floor, agitated with the machine (fitted with a brush & splash skirt). Then the slurry can be wet vacuumed away followed by rinsing with clean water. If used in conjunction with a rotary machine the product is often used in a much more dilute version.

This process whether carried out by mop (or machine) is largely the same for any type of tiled floor. Apply the product, agitate during the dwell time, clean the grout lines with a medium stiff brush & rinse away thoroughly.

Not all issues can be resolved by cleaning. Some discolouration’s & speckling may be the nature of the tile and cannot be resolved.
