Tile, stone and fireplaces
Tile comes in many forms, is incredibly versatile and adds a stunning look to any room in your home. You can use tile for your floor, walls, backsplashes and counters. Your options in tile are virtually endless! You can choose from ceramic, porcelain, stone, metal or glass. As far as formats go, there are tiny mosaics to 20-inch tiles or larger. There are geometric shapes to consider – squares, rectangles, diamonds and ovals! And there are textures – smooth, nubby and textured and finishes – matte, semi and high gloss!

Protect your new tile
Invest in some good quality protective mats or rugs at your entryways. They will help protect your tile from premature wear. They will trap dirt and other substances that could be tracked onto your floor.If you really want to keep the dirt off your new floor, leave your shoes at the door! Also be sure to wear slippers or socks on your tile floors. Your feet have oil on them that will transfer onto the tile.
Seal your tile
These protection tips along with regular sweeping and mopping will sustain the beauty of your tile and add lasting brilliance to your home décor.
Grout Cleaning
Abbey Carpet & Floor recommends that you first check with your Abbey expert or the manufacturer for care and cleaning.To avoid stubborn grout stains, try to clean up spills as quickly as possible. However, no matter what lengths we try to go to keep our tile clean and looking like new, stains may still find their way into our grout. To tackle stubborn grout stains, follow a few simple steps:
Start off with a gentle (least acidic) household tile and grout cleaner first. If this doesn't do the job, move up to a harsher chemical cleaner. Try to avoid using bleach since it can alter the color of your grout and cause damage with repeated use.
Spray cleaner onto a small length of grout and scrub with a stiff brush.
Scrub in a circular motion rather than straight up and down. This will remove more debris.
Rinse well with warm water and mop up and remaining moisture.
