Information on cleaning, protecting and maintaining Blēo's tiles
Can handmade tiles develop cracks or chips?

Handmade tiles may have small surface irregularities or variations resulting from production. However, cracks or chips that develop after installation should be assessed individually, as they may relate to impact, substrate movement, adhesive, grouting or other installation conditions. If you notice unexpected damage, please contact our team with photographs and information about the installation.

Can I use bleach or strong cleaning products on Blēo's tiles?

We generally recommend avoiding bleach, acidic cleaners, ammonia and other aggressive cleaning products, particularly on handmade or glazed surfaces. Cleaning products should always be compatible with the specific tile material and grout.

Do Blēo's tiles need to be sealed?

Sealing requirements depend on the collection and whether the tile is glazed or unglazed. Certain porous materials may require sealing before or after installation, while others do not. Please follow the relevant installation and maintenance instructions.

How can I keep spare tiles for future repairs?

We recommend retaining a small quantity of unused tiles after installation. Store them in a dry, protected location and keep a record of the collection, colour, format and order details. This is particularly useful for handmade and made-to-order collections, where future production batches may vary slightly.

How do I remove stains from tiles?

Remove spills promptly using a soft cloth and a mild cleaning product appropriate for the tile. For persistent stains, the recommended treatment depends on the material and finish. Avoid experimenting with strong chemicals, as these may damage the tile or grout. Contact our team if you need guidance for a specific collection.

How should I clean Blēo's tiles?

For routine cleaning, use warm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleaning product suitable for the tile material. A soft cloth, sponge or non-abrasive brush is generally recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning tools unless specifically approved for the collection.
