20mm Porcelain tiles will require regular care and maintenance to retain that showroom finish. The specific initial cleaning requirement will depend on the fitting method used and choice of grouting options.

When fixing with Tile Adhesive and finishing with Micromax3 grouts:

Initial Clean (Within 30 minutes of grouting)
For removal of cementitious residues within 10-30 minutes of grouting use Fila Instant Grout Remover

Directions for use: Wait approximately 10 to 30 minutes after grouting and working in small areas, spray Fila Instant Grout Remover evenly over the surface and leave for 2 minutes. Clean the surface using a damp sponge. For stubborn stains, leave for 1 hour and repeat this process.

Initial Clean (After 30 minutes of grouting)
For removal of cementitious residues after 30 minutes of grouting use Fila Porcelain Cement Residue Remover

Directions for use: Dilute Fila Porcelain Cement Residue Remover 1:5 with clean water (1 litre Residue Remover with 5 litres water). Spread the solution over the surface with a cloth and leave to act for 5 minutes. Wipe up any residues and rinse thoroughly with clean water.

A second application maybe necessary to remove any existing residue. This product should not be used neat as the dilution with water activates the ingredients of the cleaner. Always perform a test in a small portion of the surface to verify the acid resistance of the surface.

Routine Maintenance
It is important to regularly maintain the surface of your tiles to prevent the build-up of deposits, to do this use our pH neutral Fila Multi Surface Cleaner.

Directions for use: Dilute Fila Multi Surface Cleaner 1:200 with clean water (3 capfuls with 5 litres water). Clean the tile surface using a cloth or mop. There is no need to rinse after cleaning as no residues are left on the surface.

For more stubborn dirt, dilute Fila Multi Surface Cleaner 1:30 with clean water. Spread the solution evenly across the surface and leave to act for 5 minutes. Clean across the surface using a brush and rinse off with plenty of clean water

To maintain the life of your grout use Fila Grout Sealer.

Once grout is completely dry apply the product directly to the grout joint, if using the spray hold the bottle approximately 10-15cm away from the surface area.
Working in small areas (1m2), use a sponge or brush to aid the products penetration over the grout lines. Remove any excess product or smears from the tiles within a 5 minute period using a clean cloth or kitchen roll. Any remaining residues on the surface can be removed with Fila Multi Surface Cleaner.

Any dry residues that were not removed during application can be removed with Fila Multi Surface Cleaner.

Acidic or highly alkaline cleaners are NOT recommended for the regular maintenance of this tile.
