Porcelain tile used to be a durable flooring material that was fairly straightforward to clean, but in the last few years, professional cleaners around the world have begun encountering problems with porcelain tile cleaning, especially with newer porcelain products. When using high-pH presprays and cleaners, these tiles can dry with a splotchy pattern that is difficult to remove, and this can lead to dissatisfied customers and expensive restoration or replacement of the affected floor. Industry experts Mike Pailliotet, founder of Mikey’s Board, and Mark Saiger, owner of Saiger’s Steam Clean, and Bryan Thomson with MB Stone Professional have seen the issue first-hand and have come up with a solution for how to clean and fix these popular flooring materials without damaging them. Hands on demonstrations included w/ this seminar!
