Care and Maintenance:

Regular Cleaning: Dust or vacuum your limestone regularly to remove loose dirt and debris, which can cause scratches. Use a soft-bristled broom or vacuum with a brush attachment to avoid scratching.

Mopping: For routine cleaning, mop the surface with a damp mop or microfiber cloth using a pHneutral cleaner specifically designed for limestone. Avoid excessive water, as limestone is porous.

Rinsing and Drying: After cleaning, rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and dry it with a soft cloth or towel to prevent water spots and streaks.

Cleaning Spills Immediately: Limestone is easily stained, so wipe up spills as soon as possible to prevent them from setting.

Mix a small amount of pH-neutral cleaner with warm water. Apply the solution gently with a damp cloth or non-abrasive sponge. For stubborn stains, allow the solution to sit for 5-10 minutes, then scrub lightly with a soft-bristled brush

The old rule of thumb is never to use anything you wouldn’t use on your hands. Never use powdered cleansers or abrasive pads to clean your natural stone countertop. Even “soft scrub” type cleaners contain pumice, which is powdered volcanic stone, and might damage your marble vanity tops or floors. You should always use sealers and cleaning products designed for natural stone. Clean your stone with lukewarm water and dry with a cotton rag.

Polished granite is a very durable stone, much harder than marble. Granite has been used in the past in the commercial industry. Some of the obvious applications have been panels on the outside of buildings, walls, and floors of “high-traffic” areas. Granite will withstand almost any element it comes up against including heat and cold. Granite itself is approximately 95-98% stain resistant although, we use a silicone impregnator sealer on all our natural stone products. This will insure lasting life and beauty. Polished Granite should receive the same cleaning care as polished marble, use lukewarm water and dry with a cotton rag. When needed, spray glass cleaner (i.e. windex) and paper towel dry.

• Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia based cleaners may modify grout color and product stability. • Use a cleaner that is ph neutral. This ensures cleaning will not harm your grout or surrounding surfaces. • Do not use wax or oil-based cleaners. • Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors. Tiles are scratch resistant but not scratch proof. • Do not use steel wool or other abrasive pads to remove tough debris or stains. Steel wool may scratch your tiles and loose steel particles may eventually create rust stains in the grout overtime. • Although glazed surfaces are impervious, the use of a grout release will aid in post installation clean up, especially if the glazed surface has a texture to it where mortar, grout and other construction debris can get trapped inside grooves during and after installation. Standard cleaning guidelines for glazed products 1. Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the floor prior to washing with water to prevent the tile from becoming muddy or leaving a residue after cleaning. On textured surfaces sweep in multiple directions to ensure the removal of all foreign material that might be residing in the textured surface. For wall surfaces tile can be gently wiped down with a clean, dry cloth or rag. 2. Mop the floor with a mild detergent, degreaser, or tile cleaning solution. For textured floors, the use of a medium bristle brush is recommended. A sponge or clean cloth can be used to apply the cleaning agent to wall surfaces. 3. Rinse the tile thoroughly with clean water to remove any left-over detergents. 4. Drying with a clean cloth or rag is recommended to increase the shine and to prevent water spots or streaks.

Use only a mild, pH-neutral detergent cleaner and damp sponge or rag to clean your mosaic. Do not use acid, alkaline, and solvent-based cleaners. They can damage and/or discolor the stone, brass and the grout.

Do not use abrasive powders, scouring pads, steel wool or sandpaper. Do not allow soap, bleach or other cleaning solutions set on the surface. Do not wax any part of your mosaic or brass.

Do not let stains sit on your mosaic's surface for extended periods. Clean promptly. Most brass cleaners are harmful to natural stone surfaces and can cause etching in the polish. If it necessary to use such cleaners for the brass in lays mask off the stone surface, avoid direct contact on the stone, test a small area to determine that cleaner is suitable for the brass and not harmful to the natural stone. ALWAYS check with the brass cleaner manufacturer prior to use to determine that the cleaner is suitable for use around natural stone surfaces. Acceptable cleaners for natural stone, glass and metal surfaces may be acquired

Quartzite is a natural stone, so sealing is crucial to protect it from stains and etching, even though it's durable. Sealing protects against liquids, sauces, and juices.

Use a gentle, pH-neutral cleaner, mild dish soap, or stone-specific cleaners for daily maintenance. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or acidic substances like lemon juice or vinegar.

Wiping Up Spills:

Wipe up spills immediately to prevent staining. Sealer only offers temporary protection, so prompt cleaning is crucial.

Avoiding Excessive Heat:

Use trivets or hot mats under hot dishes and appliances to prevent thermal stress.

Once the surface has been cleaned “after laying” (see previous chapter), for everyday cleaning we recommend the use of a neutral detergent. Avoid using widely available detergents containing waxes and polishing additives that can deposit an undesired coaching on the flooring. We strictly advise against the use of waxes greasy soaps, fillers and various treatments (water and oil repellent) on the Supergres product, as they are not necessary. If the above treatments have been applied they will firstly need to be removed from the flooring using specific products following the manufacturer’s instructions. In the case of coatings created by soap, lime scale or dirt, you will need an acidic detergent, diluted in water as appropriate (always follow the instructions on the label). It should be noted that is hydrofluoric acid (HF) and its derivatives may damage the tiles permanently. For routine cleaning operations we recommend the use of bleach or ammonia, appropriately diluted in water. For all lapped or polished surfaces, the use of non-abrasive cleaning equipment is necessary to prevent the surface from losing its shine or becoming scratched. We also recommend leaving the floor to dry properly to prevent stains from forming.

Infinity | The engineered surface shall in no way be liable for the improper use of its slabs. We recommend you comply with the following indications, to avoid any problems or accidental damage: • prevent accidental knocks both near edges and corners (whatever the chosen finish) and on the work top surface; • avoid particularly heavy point loads on the work top, above all near any overhanging parts. Specifically, do not stand on the work top for any reason, to avoid concentrating the weight of a person on a limited surface area; • do not use any abrasive materials to clean the work top; • do not use ceramic knives directly on the work top. The use of steel knives in direct contact with the work top must also be avoided, above all with Polished finishes; • the use of chopping boards is recommended, above all with work tops with Polished finishes; • the use of trivets is recommended to avoid direct contact with hot objects (e.g. pans, coffee pots, etc.) • avoid prolonged contact between the work top surface and highly concentrated cleaning products (with both very low and very high pH). These precautions are valid generally and even more so for work tops with Polished surface finish; In the event of surface scratch on any type of installed surface, contact Infinity | The engineered surface to assess the appropriate repair procedure. It is underlined that Infinity | The engineered surface shall not be liable for damage or defects arising due to the failure to comply with the above instructions and the instructions given in the cleaning and maintenance section of the technical manual.

For glass, ceramic and porcelain walls, regular cleaning can be done with detergent and rinsed with water. You can also use household cleaners according to their label directions. Try not to use scouring powders or other abrasives, which can scratch the surface. Special cleaning may be necessary to remove soap scum, a rough white coating created from hard water and mildew. It is recommended to use a mixture of ½ cup of water softener, 2 tablespoons of rottenstone and 1 cup of hot water to remove soap scum. To remove mildew, use a mixture of diluted chlorine. And to eliminate the rough white coating that can appear on the tiles, use a commercial tile cleaner to dissolve it.

We recommend that shower walls are wiped down with a squeegee after each use to prevent hard water stains and mildew development. Routine cleaning should be carried out with a pH neutral stone and tile cleaner like AQUAMIX SUPER CONCENTRATE, following manufacturer’s directions for proper solution strength and application.

Make sure to read all directions and consult the cleaner manufacturer. DO NOT used muriatic acid, hydrochloric acid or other harsh chemicals to clean. If more aggressive cleaning is required, Restore by DuPont Stonetech is recommended. This is a mildly acid cleaner so make sure to start with the highest level of dilution and test if there are any doubts. If employing a tile and stone restoration specialist to clean the tiles, make sure they are aware of the composition of the concrete tiles and are also aware of the sealer that was used to initially seal the tiles.

Wiping Technique: Use a soft cloth to gently clean, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Drying helps prevent staining.

Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Never use abrasive cleaners, scrubby sponges, or acidic cleaners (like vinegar or citrus products), especially on stones prone to etching like marble. Harsh cleaners can weaken sealant and dull the stone's appearance.

Promptly Wipe Up Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills, especially acidic ones like citrus, tomatoes, coffee, wine, soda, vinegar, and fruit juice, as these can stain granite and etch marble. Blotting oil and acidic spills quickly is particularly important.

Please do not expose our tile to excessive moisture or soaking at any point, as this will damage the glaze and result in product failure. Our tiles are sealed out of the kiln, so it is not necessary to reseal them prior to grouting. We recommend sealing the grout after installation and regularly thereafter. On floor surfaces, cleaning with a damp mop and mild soap is suggested. On walls you may apply mild cleaning products with a soft sponge. Always avoid the use of abrasive products containing bleach, ammonia and/or paint thinner. Never scrub with rough materials that may scratch the surface.

When it comes to cleaning Jerusalem Stone, it’s important to follow some general guidelines. Start by removing loose dirt and debris using a soft brush or vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment. This step prevents scratching the surface during the cleaning process.

After removing loose dirt and debris from the stone, it is recommended to perform a patch test in an inconspicuous area before applying any cleaning solution. This will ensure that the cleaner does not cause any discoloration or damage to the stone.

Additionally, it is advisable to avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on your stone, as they can erode the surface and affect its natural beauty. Taking these extra precautions will help maintain the pristine condition of your stone and prolong its lifespan.

pH-Neutral Stone Cleaners

Using pH-neutral stone cleaners is crucial for maintaining the beauty of your stone. These cleaners are specially designed to effectively eliminate dirt and grime without posing any risk to the stone’s surface. When diluting the cleaner, be sure to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer to achieve the correct concentration.

Apply the diluted solution onto the stone using a soft cloth or sponge, ensuring that the entire surface is covered. Carefully scrub any stubborn stains or spots, applying gentle pressure to avoid scratching the stone. Once you have thoroughly cleaned the stone, rinse it with clean water to remove any residue and reveal its natural luster.

Addressing Specific Stains

When dealing with different types of stains on Jerusalem Stone, it’s important to employ specific cleaning methods. In the case of oil or grease stains, creating a poultice with a mixture of baking soda and water proves highly effective. Spread the poultice over the stained area, cover it with plastic wrap, and allow it to sit overnight. The poultice will work its magic by absorbing the oil or grease, and the following day, you can easily remove it by gently rinsing and wiping the surface. To tackle organic matter stains like food or plant debris, a mild detergent or soap mixed with water can work wonders. Apply the solution to the stained area, using a soft cloth or sponge to scrub gently. Once you have thoroughly scrubbed the area, rinse it meticulously to ensure all traces of the cleaning solution and stains are removed.
