One of the most important features of porcelain pavers is the ease with which you can take care of them. In fact, thanks to the outstanding characteristics of porcelain, Landmark Ceramics' porcelain pavers are exceptionally resistant to staining, and therefore can be usually washed with just water or with a mix of diluted natural detergent and water (Be aware of products that say they don't require rinsing, as this step is an essential part of tile maintenance). In order to remove dirt, you can also utilize power washers by paying attention to use a wide and medium/gentle stream to do not damage the floor or the joints.

In order to minimize the risk of damaging the floor, to clean the porcelain pavers we recommend to:

• Never use abrasive products such as steel wool, hard-bristled brushes or abrasive scouring pads: these items could scratch the tiles or weaken the grout, and more importantly, lose tiny fragments that can get stuck on the surface and cause rust stains;
• Even though porcelain pavers are resistant to the most common acids (ie. lemon juice, vinegar and hydrochloric acids), avoid solutions that contain a high level of acids or other aggressive products, which could alter the color of the tiles or mortar.
• Avoid oil-based and wax-based cleaners that could change the anti-slip property of the pavers. 
• Remove regularly by sweeping, blowing or vacuuming all debris that could have an abrasive effect on the pavers. 

If you notice stubborn stains that ordinary cleaning with water and natural detergent cannot remove, you don't need to work on the entire flooring but you will only need to treat the localized area of the stain using the proper products and methodologies, because each type of stain has its own recommended detergent solutions, as shown in the sections below.

For stains given by residue of cement or grout you can use detergent with an acid basis such as “Deterdek” by Fila Chemicals or “Keranet” from Mapei.

For rust stains you can utilized the detergent “No Rust” produced by Fila.

These substances should be easily removed with water and natural detergents but, for the tougher stains, you can use “PS87” and “Filacleaner” by Fila.

If water and natural detergent do nor work, you can use the “SR/95” and the “Fila Nospot Spray” by Fila.

These kind of strains can be removed using professional detergents such as the “Filasolv”, “PS87” or “Zerosil” by Fila.

You can remove tire marks by simply usijng hand cleanser or CIF ammoniacal or the “PS87” and “Filasolv” prodcuts by Fila.

Gum can be removed by scrapping them off with a scraper after having hardened the gum through freezing.
