Daltile

Tile care

Care

• Sweep or vacuum grit. Damp-mop glazed porcelain with a pH-neutral tile cleaner.
• Do not use vinegar, bleach, or abrasive pads on a routine. They etch grout and some finishes.
• Glazed porcelain does not need sealing. Cement grout often does; follow the grout brand. Natural stone and some unglazed tiles do need a penetrating sealer.
• Clean grout haze with a haze remover, not more acid on a guess.
• In a shower, squeegee glass and tile after use. Standing hard water is what clouds the room, not the porcelain.

Official care from the manufacturer

Warranty

• Daltile manufactured tile: one-year limited warranty against manufacturing defect from purchase.
• A defect is a failure to meet published spec inside industry tolerance. Shade and the way a photo looks on a screen are not defects.
• Inspect before setting. A visual problem that goes on the floor voids the mill claim.
• Report in writing within 30 days of finding it. daltile.com/why-daltile/industry-standards/warranty. 1-800-933-TILE.
• Natural stone Daltile sells is not warranted for shade, thickness, or natural movement.
• One Quartz (when used) has its own limited lifetime residential letter — different product, different page.

Official warranty from the manufacturer

Our year on top of theirs

Artistic Design Studio warrants materials and labor for one year on work we sold and installed. The mill letter above is separate and often longer. We keep the order so a factory claim has a ticket. See the studio warranty.

This page is a plain-language summary of published manufacturer care and warranty pages as of September 2026. It is not the legal warranty. Terms, exclusions, and remedies live on the manufacturer’s current letter. Product on your invoice is the product that counts.
