How to clean porcelain stoneware

Use warm water and a good quality microfibre cloth, such as CPMAGICCLEAN by Cpsystems. Every now and again, e.g. every 10-20 days depending on the state of the flooring, use neutral detergents diluted with hot water, that are wax-free, and do not deposit glossy films. When the cleaning process in finished always rinse with water, using a second good quality microfibre cloth.

What to use

Wax-free neutral detergent. DO NOT use alcohol, acids, solvents, abrasive detergents, steel wool or scouring pads.
