Cleaning and Maintenance
CLEANING SPECIFICATION FOR KEOPE
PORCELAIN TILES
Under no circumstances has a cleaner containing a polishing
agent to be used to clean the porcelain
floor tiles.
After the tiles have been grouted and cleaned in the normal
way to remove excess grout using a sponge
and clean water the floor must be left to dry out.
The final cleaning process can begin.Using Keope 100
Cleaner which is an acid based cleaner supplied in
1 Litre containers.This substance is watered down in 10 parts
water to one part Keope 100 cleaner (this
can be adjusted down to 5 parts water to 1 part cleaner
depending on how stubborn the remaining
grout is on removal)
This is washed across the entire floor using a clean mop with
a vigorous clean.Some foaming may take
place but this is normal.
Leave the floor to dry, depending on conditions could be
anything from 1-2 Hours.
Using a different clean mop wash the floor again using
copious amounts of clean water.
Again leave the floor to dry ,then give 1 final clean with clean
water.
The tile should now be ready for use, the best way to test this
is to keep 1 tile from the box that has
not been laid and place it next to the tiles on the floor and the
finish should feel exactly the same.
For regular maintenance the floor should be brushed at the
end of each day then using a clean mop and
clean water, washed down at the end of each day ready for
the next day’s business. At no time add
any cleaning solution to the floor.
From time to time if the floor becomes marked in any way
Keope 200 supplied in 1 litre containers can
be used using the same formula for mixing as the Keope
100, to keep the floor looking like its original
appearance.
Keope 100 Cleaner 1 Litre will cover roughly 35 Square
Metres
Keope 200 Cleaner 1 Litre will cover roughly 50 square
Metres

CLEANING THE FLOOR AFTER INSTALLATION
Above all, this washing procedure is necessary for smooth,
or "lappato" floors because any residual
dirt marks are clearly evident.
As is often believed, it is not sufficient just to wash the floor
after installation with water or by using
traditional products and it is absolutely not recommended to
use diesel fuel, vinegar or solvents that
have not been specifically recommended.
Ceramiche Keope recommends the use of Fila products that
are easily found on the market.
CLEANING METHOD
1. Remove the excess grout, dust and dirt deposited on the
floor by using a broom or a vacuum
cleaning brush. This operation is very important because
when applying the detergents, the floor
must not have any surface residues.
2. Dampen the cement grouting with some water to preserve
it from the action of the detergents.
3. Use a solution of Fila DETERDEK detergent diluted 1:5 (1
litre of Deterdek diluted in 5 litres of HOT
water). This preparation should be enough to clean 100 m2.
This product is slightly acid and its use
is necessary to remove all cement residues. Never use acids
of a different nature to those
recommended for the cleaning of ceramic materials because
it could be dangerous and cause damage
to the grouting.
4. Evenly spread the DETERDEK 1:5 solution on the surface
to be treated using a broom and cloth, or
by using a motorised rotating brush.
5. Leave the solution to react for several minutes (at least 5
