TILE AND GROUT CLEANING COLUMBUS, OHIO

Grout is a porous material. With time, the grout sealer that was more than likely applied when the tile was put down, will wear away, exposing the grout itself without a protector. Traffic, spills, dirt, dust, and anything tracked into the house will ultimately be walked into the tile and grout, and this causes the grout to look dirty. Using corrosive cleaning products on your floor can discolor not only the grout but the tile itself. Beautifully colored tile when new could end up faded and dull. The level of routine daily cleaning can possibly put this eventuality off, but it will happen.

Bleach is corrosive if not handled properly and it can not only be bad for your health and well-being but weaken the life of your grout. If bleach burns and irritate the skin, imagine what it will do to porous material like your grout. In fact, anything with bleach or ammonia in it is not good to use on grout. Also, bleach should never be used on colored grout. Using these types of cleaning products can cause the grout to crack, leaving behind a film that will attract more dirt and grime, and could very well cause you to have to replace the grout. This could end up being very costly.

Rugs and mats laid down in the high-traffic areas will help prevent scuffs and dirt and debris from being ground into the tile and grout. Also, routine cleaning like sweeping and mopping also helps. Use a non-abrasive broom to prevent the tile from being scratched up. A hard floor vacuum will also work, but remember that all the dirt, debris, and grime must be cleaned up before mopping.

When you mop, use a floor cleaner made for tile, and warm water. You can also use a little dish soap to bring out the tile’s natural colors. To prevent your wet floors from attracting more dirt and threatening everyone to not walk on your wet floors, dry them with a dry mop. This will prevent your floor from attracting more dirt, footprints, pet hair, and grime.

When you spill anything, be it liquid or food, clean it up immediately. Colored liquids and food, raw food that can cause bacteria to grow if not cleaned up, or pet urine should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Use a disinfectant that is mild, clean with a damp cloth or mop, and enjoy your nice clean floors.
