style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even with all the care and attention, it&#8217;s possible that your ceramic tiles may face some common problems such as stains, cracks or breakages. But don&#8217;t worry! Here are some tips for dealing with these issues in the best possible way:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Stains:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if you notice stains on your ceramic tiles, try cleaning them with a solution of water and white vinegar. Leave the solution on for a few minutes and then rinse thoroughly. When cleaning, always use a soft cloth, preferably microfiber.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cracks:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> small &#8220;cracks&#8221; can be repaired with a little ceramic tile glue. Apply the glue to the crack and gently press the parts together.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Breaks:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the event of breakages, it is important to assemble all the parts of the piece and try to glue them together with ceramic glue. If the breakage is very large or irreparable, consider looking for a craftsman who specializes in restoring ceramics.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_658071642\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"679\" src=\"https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-1024x682.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-scaled-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.companhiaatlantica.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/IMG_0919-1320x880.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_658071642 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1740535115 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1022944292\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1549723977\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-331585099\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div id=\"gap-597669706\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block;
