CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

GROUTING AND CLEANING AFTER INSTALLATION

With normal-setting adhesives, grout the floor after 24/48 hours; with fast-setting adhesives, grout after 4 hours. For polished materials, use cementitious grouts in matching colours; do not use flexible synthetic mortars on these surfaces, especially in contrasting colours. Do not add additives/latex to the grout, as these products make it extremely difficult to remove residues with ordinary cleaning products. If you decide to use a grout which is not recommended, always test it on the material first to check the result.
