The how-to’s of keeping your
ceramic tile sparkling clean
Very few materials will
‘resist wear and retain their
‘.beauty as well as ceramic
tile. Yet the question con
. stoutly comes up; “How do
'you keep it clean?" Hard
water film and soap film,
which will form on any sur
face, are easy to remove
from ceramic tile. Mildew
:-is best avoided by good ven
* Illation but can be bleached
out. So let’s deal with
“how.”
; In cleaning procedures
there are two surfaces to be
dealt with, one is the tile
itself, the other the grout
which is the material flll
• ing the spaces between the
tiles. The grout requires
special attention.
Most tile installations
have a cement grout, though
within the last two years
American Olean Tile Com
pany has introduced a sili
cone rubber grouted tile
system. Routine cleaning
for cement grouted tile
walls requires only wiping
down with a household am
monia. Floors should be
swept or vacuumed, then
washed with a detergent so
lution, making sure to fin
ish up with clean water.

Wipe dry. This will keep the
tile and grout sparkling
clean.
Never wax tile.
Regular maintenance is
the best way. Just as you
never let your carpet get
very soiled, your tile wall or
floor should not be permit
ted to become very soiled.
If, however, you are faced
with major housecleaning,
mix a strong solution of a
cleaner and rub vigorously
with a brush. To bleach out
stains apply a to "-thick
paste of a bleaching cleans
er, for white grout, or a non
bleaching cleanser (Bon-
Ami) for colored grouts.
Scrub with a brush after 24
hours. Rinse thoroughly
and dry with a cloth. Sili
cone rubber grouts which
are highly stain- and mil
dew-resistant usually need
only washing.
Check, carefully for
cracks in cement grouts.
Though the silicone rubber
grouts will not crack out,
conventional grouts will. If
this happens, moisture may
penetrate to the underlay
ment and if the tile is set
on gypsum wallboard the
tiles may fall off the wall.
Mr. Kenna said.
“Furthermore,” he said,
“the failure to provide for
equal treatment of wages in
a rigid restraint program ig
nores by far the largest ele
ment of production cost.”
T-he statement continued:
“The NAM acknowledges
the Administration’s often
’repeated assurances of their
desire to return to an econ
omy free of wage and price
controls, but the record of the
past two years says loud and
clear that controls • have not
and will not work. We do en
dorse the limited decontrols
that were announced, hopeful
that further such moves will
be taken as rapidly as pos
sible.
“However, in a positive
vein, we do enthusiastically
endorse the firm commitment
on the part of the Adminis
tration to achieve an actual
balanced budget in the cur
rent 12 months. The strong
attention being paid to the
real problems of fiscal and
monetary policy is encourag
ing. In a time when demand
for goods exceeds the Supply,
such price restraint as sug
gested by the Administration
might unfortunately be
counter-productive and deny
the goods the American con
sumer requires.”
