Maintenance Guide

Mittsu Japanese Tiles

Japanese craftsmanship is at the heart of every Mittsu tile — delivering timeless beauty, refined finishes, and enduring quality. To preserve the elegance of your Mittsu Japanese Wall Tiles, we recommend following these care and maintenance guidelines.

1. Regular Cleaning

Frequency: Weekly or as needed, depending on the area.
Recommended Tools: Soft microfiber cloth, non-abrasive sponge.
Cleaning Products:
- Use a pH-neutral cleaner or a mild soap diluted in warm water.
- Avoid acidic, bleach-based, or highly alkaline products, as they may damage the surface or grout.

How To Clean:

Wipe tiles gently with a damp cloth or sponge.
Apply diluted cleaner to any stains and allow to sit briefly.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent streaks or water spots.

2. Grout Care

Routine Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and a mild cleaning solution.
Long-Term Maintenance: For cement-based grouts, apply a grout sealer every 6–12 months to prevent discolouration and moisture absorption.

3. Stain Removal Tips

Stain Type	Solution	Notes
Grease & Oil	Mild dish soap + warm water	Rinse well to remove any residue
Hard Water Marks	Diluted vinegar (1:3)*	*Test in a discreet area first
Marker/Ink	Alcohol-based cleaner	Dab gently, do not rub aggressively
Mold & Mildew	Diluted bleach (1:10)*	Ensure proper ventilation

Important: Always spot test before using any chemical cleaner on your Mittsu tiles.

4. Preventative Maintenance

Wipe spills immediately to avoid staining.
Avoid abrasive pads or harsh scrubbers that may scratch the surface.
Use splash guards or mats near sinks and stoves.
Maintain good ventilation, especially in bathrooms and kitchens, to reduce moisture buildup.

5. Inspection & Resealing

Inspect grout and edges periodically for any signs of cracking or water ingress.
Depending on the finish and installation area, some tiles or grout may benefit from resealing. Consult your installer or contact us for advice.

6. Professional Support

For restoration, deep cleaning, or heritage tile maintenance, we recommend using a professional tile cleaning service familiar with handmade or glazed ceramics.
