Caring for Clay Tiles and Cementitious Materials

Sealing

Clay tiles such as Terra Cotta and Saltillo and Cementitous materials such as concrete, stucco and grout are usually very porous. These surfaces can stain easily if not properly treated with a protective sealer. Proper sealing helps aid in daily maintenance. Protective sealers should be applied shortly after installation and reapplied every time your clay & cementitous materials are professionally cleaned by Burrous Brothers.

 

Maintenance Cleaning

To clean your clay tiles such as Terra Cotta and Saltillo and Cementitous materials such as concrete, stucco and grout, use a neutral pH cleaner. Specially formulated cleaners for stone and grout tile, like StoneTech Professional ™ All Purpose Stone & Tile Cleaner, gently and effectively clean away everyday soils. StoneTech Professional ™ Revitalizer™ adds a sealer as you clean. Using strong, high pH cleaners can remove protective sealers.

 

Professional Care

To properly maintain clay tiles such as Terra Cotta and Saltillo and cementitous materials such as concrete, stucco and grout, you should have Burrous Brothers Company clean and seal your hard services about every two to three years.
