Stone and tile floors bring lasting beauty to kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces, but different surfaces require different cleaning methods. Whether you’re caring for ceramic tile, porcelain tile, or natural stone, choosing the right floor cleaner helps remove everyday dirt and grime while maintaining your floor’s appearance. Discover how to clean stone and tile floors, prevent dulling residue, and maintain beautiful results with compatible Quick Shine® floor cleaning solutions. Always follow your flooring manufacturer’s care recommendations, especially for natural stone and specialty finishes.
01
Vacuum and dry mop to remove dust and debris.
Before cleaning stone or tile floors, remove loose dirt, dust, and pet hair to help prevent scratches and buildup. Use a vacuum designed for hard floors with the rotating brush roll turned off, or dry mop with a reusable microfiber dusting pad. The Quick Shine® Multi-Action Mop System makes it easy to capture everyday debris, including along edges, corners, and baseboards, while preparing your floors for wet cleaning. For natural stone surfaces, always follow the flooring manufacturer’s recommended cleaning methods.
02
Spray. Mop. Done!
Make everyday tile floor cleaning quick and easy with Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner and our Multi-Action Spray Mop System. Powered by baking soda, our EPA Safer Choice Certified, pH-neutral, rinse-free formula removes everyday dirt and grime without leaving dulling residue when used as directed. For compatible sealed tile floors, fill the mop’s refillable spray cartridge with cleaner, apply a light, even mist, and mop using a reusable microfiber cleaning pad. Work in manageable sections, rinsing or replacing the pad as needed to help prevent streaks. For natural stone, always verify cleaner compatibility with the flooring manufacturer before use.
03
Maintain to avoid scrubbing.
Keep your stone and tile floors looking beautiful with regular cleaning that helps prevent dirt, grime, and buildup. Sweep, vacuum, or dry mop frequently to remove dust, pet hair, and everyday debris, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. For compatible sealed tile floors, use Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner, powered by baking soda, to remove everyday dirt and grime without leaving dulling residue. Clean spills promptly, use washable entry mats, and pay extra attention to corners and grout lines where dirt can accumulate. For natural stone, always use cleaning products approved for your specific surface and follow the manufacturer’s care recommendations.

RESTORE SHINE TO DULL STONE & TILE FLOORS
Are your stone or tile floors starting to look dull? Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Floor Finish can help restore a beautiful shine and add a protective finish to compatible flooring surfaces. This water-based floor finish is designed to refresh the appearance of dull floors without the need for extensive refinishing.
Start with a Clean Surface: Thoroughly clean your floors with a compatible Quick Shine® Floor Cleaner and allow them to dry completely before applying the finish. Remove any existing buildup according to the product instructions.
Apply and Maintain: Apply thin, even coats using a clean, slightly damp microfiber applicator pad. Allow the finish to dry according to the product label, and refresh as needed based on foot traffic and wear.
IMPORTANT: Not all stone and tile surfaces are suitable for aftermarket floor finishes. Always confirm compatibility with your flooring manufacturer and the Quick Shine® product label, especially for natural stone, marble, and specialty tile finishes.
IMPORTANT FLOOR CARE TIP: Before applying Quick Shine® Multi-Surface Floor Finish, thoroughly clean your floors with a compatible floor cleaner and allow them to dry completely. Avoid using oil soaps, pine oil, orange oil, ammonia, vinegar, or all-purpose cleaners that may leave residue or interfere with the adhesion of floor finishes. Remove any existing buildup according to the product instructions to help achieve a smooth, even shine. Always follow your flooring manufacturer’s care recommendations and confirm compatibility before applying a floor finish, especially on natural stone, marble, or specialty tile surfaces. When in doubt, test in a small, inconspicuous area first.
