Care and Maintenance  

TILE GLOW® #1

TILE GLOW® #1 is a natural, non wax, abrasive compound for the thorough cleaning and honing of Ceramic, Porcelain and Quarry Tiles.

Tile Glow® #1 is used to deep clean and hone (smooth) old and/or very worn tiles. It prepares the surface for polishing with TILE GLOW® #2.

To apply Tile Glow® #1, you need:

  1. Tile Glow® #1
  2. Floor buffer (175 to 350 RPM). Water tank and splash guard optional.
  3. One natural hair pad, one white buffing pad. Note: Heavier buffer will give you a quicker and better polish. We recommend the 13", 1.5 HP STONEWORKS buffer. Optimum weight of 135 lbs.
  4. Wet vacuum clean, mop, bucket, wringer, floor squeegee.

Directions
Note: The tile and baseboards should be stripped of all waxes or sealer and neutralized.

  1. Cover baseboard, carpet, etc., with protective plastic and/or tape.
  2. If the grout is very dirty, scrub the grout and tile with our MINERAL DEPOSIT REMOVER (MDR) and a scrubbing brush. Wet vacuum and rinse.
  3. Wet the tile surface. Add a handful of Tile Glow #1® on the wet area (5oz./25 Sq. Ft.)
  4. Buff the Tile Glow® #1 slurry with a natural hair pad for about 10 minutes per 25 Sq. Ft. For very old or very dirty floors, you can scrub the floor and grout with Tile Glow #1® and a scrubbing brush (not a stripping brush)
  5. Squeegee the Tile Glow® #1 slurry to the adjacent area and repeat process. Add Tile Glow® #1 and water as needed.
  6. Vacuum-dry the Tile Glow® #1 mixture. Wet again the honed area and buff again with the same pad without adding more Tile Glow® #1 to loosen up residue.
  7. Vacuum-dry thoroughly, damp mop and let dry.
  8. Polish the tile with TILE GLOW® #2. See Tile Glow #2® instruction sheet.

Note: Tile Glow® #1 is available in white, gray or black to suit grout colors.
