Routine cleaning and maintenance of glossy porcelain stoneware
Polished porcelain stoneware is one of the most popular solutions for both residential and commercial spaces. It offers a refined aesthetic, deep shine, and enhances any environment with elegance and modernity.
Its technical qualities—such as wear resistance and low porosity—also make it ideal for high-traffic areas. However, due to its glossy finish, it’s essential to know how to polish polished stoneware properly. Incorrect cleaning over time can compromise its original appearance.
One of the most common issues is the formation of a limescale film. This dull layer forms due to household water, which often contains a high concentration of mineral salts. In many regions, water is “hard,” meaning it has high levels of calcium and magnesium. These elements settle on frequently cleaned surfaces, making them look dull and lifeless. The effect is similar to the unsightly halos seen on shower glass. Understanding how to polish polished stoneware in the presence of hard water is key to preserving its shine.
Another frequent issue is the build-up of greasy residue. While less visible, it can still affect the overall look. This film forms from organic dirt, oily kitchen vapors, foot traffic, and the use of unsuitable detergents. In this case as well, knowing how to polish polished stoneware correctly helps remove the dull layer and restore brilliance.
To solve both problems, it’s necessary to use a professional cleaning system. The right products must degrease, descale, and deeply clean without damaging the surface. These formulas are designed to be effective yet gentle, leaving floors free of halos or residues.
Used regularly, this cleaning system helps preserve the elegance and shine of polished porcelain stoneware over time. The result? Floors that are always clean, glossy, and pleasant to the touch and sight.
For effective cleaning of polished porcelain stoneware, we recommend using GRES BRILL, specifically formulated to descale, degrease, and maintain a bright, streak-free surface.

Frequency of use:
- GRES BRILL can be used every day forthe routine cleaning of porcelain stoneware floors.

Performance and consumption
The objective of the application of GRES BRILL and GRES LINDO products is to keep the surface clean and degreased, avoiding the creation of contamination patinas due to domestic dirt (fat and limestone).
Tap water is often calcareous and over time these calcareous patinas tend to reform and accumulate even greasy dirt. When this happens and the floor is, therefore, difficult to manage, simply do an extraordinary wash with GRES LINDO and BLUE BUFFER or MELAMINE BUFFER, as indicated on the label.The objective of the application of GRES BRILL and GRES LINDO products is to keep the surface clean and degreased, avoiding the creation of contamination patinas due to domestic dirt (fat and limestone).
