Flooring Care & Maintenance

Also, the type of surface your particular has, will affect the cleaning process. Let's look the procedures for cleaning and maintaining your DEKTON® flooring.

Initial Cleaning

No matter how good the installers are, it is impossible to complete an install so cleanly that the flooring will not need to be given an initial cleaning. Therefore, after the install has been completed, there will be some sort of residue left on the surface of the material. Some of these include:

• Adhesive
• Silicone
• Cement
• Plaster

When this is the case, an initial cleaning is necessary to leave the surface in the best possible condition for everyday use. For this initial cleaning, simply use a cleaner that is designed for use on DEKTON® and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Everyday (Daily) Cleaning

Once the flooring has been given its initial cleaning, you will only need to perform regular daily cleaning. For the daily cleaning, you can use the following methods:

1. Dry mop or a broom to remove dust that can accumulate from the air. If desired, you may use a conventional vacuum cleaner to remove dust as well.
2. A wet mop using a neutral, soapy cleaning product. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for using the neutral cleaner on your DEKTON® surface.
