Removal is recommended.
Before leaving the factory, the tiles will be waxed on the surface. The wax treatment is mainly to prevent accidental damage to the tiles during the subsequent paving and construction process. The thick layer of wax on the surface is also the main reason for the tile’s dark light, so removing the wax layer can restore the tile’s original luster and improve the tile’s surface stain resistance while removing the wax, because evenly wiping the wax can fill the tiny holes on the tile’s surface and make the surface stain resistant layer stain resistant and more evenly distributed molecules, which can improve its stain resistance and wear resistance.
Why tile waxing
Before the tiles are polished, they have small holes after firing, and before they leave the factory, the manufacturer will wax them first. This is to fill the small holes and make polished tiles that do not stain easily.
Waxing tiles removes stains and polishes, adds to the appearance, and protects against insects, moisture, cracks, reduces external corrosion and wear on the tiles, and extends the life of the tiles. This is necessary for tile repair. You can use water wax, solid wax, liquid wax, natural wax, spray wax.
