Ceramic Counter Top Care


Care: Protect against chipping by using a cutting board. Protect against scratches, especially on glazed tiles, by using a heat proof mat under hot pans, and electrical appliances on the counter. Avoid hard blows which can chip the tile.

Cleaning: Wash with detergent solution, and rinse. To clean dingy grout, occasionally apply a solution of chlorine bleach and water to stand not more than 5 minutes; rinse thoroughly and wipe dry. General-purpose household cleaners may also be used if label says can be used on ceramic tile; follow directions exactly. NEVER use scouring powders or other abrasives as they will scratch the finish. Creamy liquid appliance wax can be used, if wished, for further protection of tile and grout.
