According to the nature of the stain, choose a suitable cleaning agent to remove it. Several treatment methods for common stains are as follows:
Use sodium hypochlorite diluent (bleaching agent) for stains such as tea stains, fruit stains, coffee, sauce vinegar, leather shoe prints, and soak for 20-30 minutes before use. Wipe clean with a cloth. Some stains that have penetrated into the bricks for a long time need to be soaked for several hours;
The mold spots formed by ink and antifouling wax mold, use sodium hypochlorite diluent (bleaching agent). When using, just apply the bleach to the stain and soak it for a few minutes to wipe it off;
Use hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid solution for cement, scale, rust and rust spots, and wipe it several times;
Use alkaline cleaners or organic solvents (5-ketone, triethylene) for paint, oil stains, oily markers, and surface antifouling wax layer, paint and grease removal agents;
Contamination method: first soak in 20%-40% sodium hydroxide solution for 24 hours and then wipe it with a cloth, and then soak it with 30%-50% hydrochloric acid solution for 30 minutes and then wipe it with a cloth;

Note: After laying the tiles, paste the anti-oil stickers on the tiles that may be heavily stained with oil around the cooker, range hood, etc., and use the beautifying agent on the gaps of the tiles and apply them on the tiles. The joints are both beautiful and oil-resistant.
Wear repair:
The surface of the ceramic tile is often uneven due to friction, accumulation and other problems, such as a slight slight appearance on the surface of the tile To repair the scratches, apply toothpaste on the scratches and wipe vigorously with a soft dry cloth.
Waxing floor tiles (polished tiles) regularly can have a long-lasting protective effect, with a time interval of 2 to 3 months, which can effectively restore the surface gloss of the tiles and prolong the service life of the tiles.
