Do you remember how immaculately clean both the tile and the grout were when you first had them installed? The majority of us find that scrubbing a hard floor while kneeling on the floor with a brush and using a mop and bucket are the most effective cleaning tools.Â
It can be challenging to maintain a clean tile floor and grout between the tiles. The traditional method of cleaning with a mop and bucket almost always makes the situation worse. Because they are the lowest point, grout lines, in particular, have a propensity to grow unclean and discolored over time. This is because the dirt tends to settle there. Even tiles made of smooth ceramic have a tendency to change color over time.Â
Because grout is permeable, it may very easily absorb moisture, oils, soaps, and detergents, as well as food and drink spillages. As a result, the appearance of grout can alter; it can either become darker with dirt or it can fade with time. In most cases, the grout on floors will appear darker and/or dirtier than it did when the floor was first installed, and it may even be stained with remnants of spilled food and beverages. The grout that surrounds wall tiles typically loses its color with time and, in the worst situations, turns an orange or yellow color due to body fats and detergents or a black color due to mold growth.Â
Tiles and grout that are dirty not only look bad but also pose a health risk. In the spaces between the tiles, known as grout lines, dirt, residues of food debris, and germs can accumulate. Again, mop and bucket cleaning can frequently make matters worse. This is due to the fact that, unless the water is changed very frequently and the initial wash is followed by a robust rinse to remove the cleaning solution, the wash essentially just moves the dirt around until it finally settles at the lowest point, which is the grout lines. This can be avoided by changing the water frequently and using a robust rinse after the initial wash. The detergent that is left behind on the tiles adds to the overall impression that the place is dirty. Â
Don't worry, our strong van-mounted cleaning system will blast through and separate dirt, grease, and filth from the tile surface and grout with its high water pressure. If your floor has been sealed, this should be all that you need to do to quickly and affordably restore the natural beauty of your tile and grout.
Sadly, the vast majority of people either don't remember or are unaware that you may have your tile floor sealed and preserved. An unsealed floor, particularly one with porous grout, is susceptible to being discolored by unclean mop water, which can leave behind blotchy stains and grout lines that look filthy and dark. This method of cleaning will get rid of all the dirt on the surface, but it may also show stains that were not visible before.
It is a smart move to safeguard your financial investment by having your tile and grout sealed. This will ensure that they can be easily cleaned and will save you both time and money.
