Caring for reclaimed terracotta subway tiles is straightforward. Clean using a soft mop or cloth with a pH-neutral cleaner to avoid stripping the natural patina.

Each box of reclaimed terracotta subway tiles covers a specified area, depending on the tile size you choose (3"x12" or 6"x12"). To estimate how many boxes you’ll need, calculate the total square footage of your space and divide by the coverage per box. It's always smart to round up to allow for cuts and layout variations, ensuring you have enough authentic tiles for your project.
