Tile is easy to care for. Use a cleaner designed for natural stone. Be sure your installer has sealed the stone and grout sufficiently, to manufacturer specifications. When using a cleaner on natural stone only use a neutral pH cleaner — you never want to use anything acidic on natural stone surfaces as they can ruin the surface of the stone. Never use cleaners containing acids, scouring powder, abrasive bathroom or soft kitchen cleaners, vinegar or lemon juice.
