Vacuum or sweep loose grit; mop with pH-neutral cleaner; rinse and dry.

Stain Prevention
Follow these essential guidelines to keep your tiles looking their best and avoid common maintenance mistakes that can lead to costly issues.
Protects both grout and tile surfaces from chemical damage
Reduces moisture buildup and prevents mould growth
Catches grit and debris before it reaches your tile
Prevents staining and maintains surface integrity
Gentle cleaning that won't scratch delicate finishes
Can damage grout and discolour surfaces over time
Scratches and dulls the surface finish permanently
Can compromise silicone seals—wipe and dry instead
Becomes increasingly difficult to remove over time
Can chip or crack tiles—always lift and protect
Changes of plane experience movement from thermal expansion, settling, and use. Silicone's flexibility accommodates this movement while maintaining a watertight seal, whereas rigid grout would crack.
After each use, wipe silicone joints dry with a clean cloth to prevent water buildup
Check for any discolouration, gaps, or softening that may indicate maintenance needs
Watch for mould, mildew, or loss of adhesion around edges and corners
Plan a silicone refresh every 3-5 years to maintain watertight seals
Check monthly
Check quarterly
Check semi-annually
Check annually
If you notice discolouration over time, planning a silicone refresh keeps lines
tidy and watertight for years to come.
During move-ins or furniture changes, proper protection prevents costly damage. Simple precautions maintain your investment for decades.

Simple habits that protect tiles during regular use
As needed
Additional protection for parties, renovations, or maintenance work
Check pads monthly—wear causes scratching

Never drag—use appliance dollies always
Lift to clean underneath periodically
The cost of proper protection materials is typically 1-2% of tile installation cost, but can prevent damage costing 10-20% of original investment.
Preventive investment → Long-term savings

Heavy impacts, dropped items
Protective mats, careful handling
Spills under furniture, trapped moisture
Regular cleaning, proper ventilation
Extreme weight, point loading
Weight distribution, professional moving
Lift heavy items—don’t drag.
Keep chair pads clean so grit doesn’t abrade the surface. The few extra seconds it takes to lift instead of drag can prevent damage that takes hours and hundreds of dollars to address.
