What advice are you providing your clients for cleaning / maintaining tile jobs? Lets separate it into two categories..... showers and floors. I have been advising them to use a PH neutral cleaner, but the women want to know something more specific than that. Just gathering good information so I can print out a maintenance tip sheet to leave with them.

Greetings,
A hopefully useful story. Laid some glazed Home Dep 12x12's in the half bath and it went ok. Got distracted and did not remove the grout glaze at the right time. Dried hard. Overnight. Hmmmm.

For repairing scuffs in vinyl floors, I have found that using Street shoe finish for satin, low gloss or gloss on a rag will really help reduce the appearance of the scuff, in alot of cases it will make it disappear completely. I use 2 rags one I put the Street shoe finish on and then I wipe the area and use the clean rag to wipe the area clear of excess Street shoe finish around the scuffed area.

I wanted to add that to this forum so the tip would show up on the home page of the website. Follow the little arrow to read more great tips too.

When installing wood floors with Bosticks Best, or similar adhesives, be sure to have a cloth, and the appropriate cleaner, handy at all times. Keeping your hands and flooring clean, and free of adhesive residue, is paramount to a successful installation.
