General
On account of their properties, tiles are considered to be easy to clean. The cleaning methods and cleaning agents must, however, be adapted to the type of floor and local conditions.
Owing to their high resistance to chemicals and their pronounced wear resistance, porcelain stoneware tiles are predominantly used in areas subject to high levels of stress.
Only hydrofluoric acid and related substances are able to attack or destroy the surface of porcelain stoneware tiles and they may thus not be used on these surfaces!
The slip-resistant properties are achieved through the roughness of the tile’s surface or by means of relief-type profiling. More extensive cleaning is thus required than for smooth, glazed surfaces.
