• High-Gloss Glaze: The reflective finish bounces light around the room, making small bathrooms or kitchens feel bright, airy, and expansive.

Maintenance & Long-Term Care The Cloe Baby Blue tile is designed for beauty and low-effort maintenance:

• Daily Cleaning: Simply wipe with a soft cloth or sponge using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner.

• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool or scouring pads, as they can scratch the high-gloss glaze over time.

• Grout Maintenance: Use a high-quality non-sanded grout during installation to avoid scratching the tile surface. Seal the grout lines to maintain the "clean" look of the Baby Blue palette.

• Limescale Removal: In shower applications, use a diluted vinegar solution or a specialized tile cleaner to remove hard water spots and keep the gloss shimmering.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q: Will all the tiles look like the same blue? A: No, and that is the beauty of Cloe! This collection is intentionally designed with high variation. You will see a range of pale blue and mid-blue tones within a single box for a "watercolor" effect.

• Q: Can this be used on a floor? A: No. This is a ceramic wall tile and is not rated for foot traffic. It is intended for vertical surfaces and light-duty residential accents.

• Q: Is it okay to use behind a stovetop? A: Yes, Cloe ceramic tiles are heat-resistant and make an excellent, easy-to-clean kitchen backsplash.

• Q: What grout color is recommended? A: A bright white grout creates a crisp, classic look, while a light silver or soft gray grout helps blend the various blue tones for a softer appearance.

• Note: It is highly recommended to "dry-lay" tiles from multiple boxes before installation to ensure a balanced blend of the color variations.
