When you first had your tile laid down, it looked sparkling and gorgeous. But, as time went on, the grout became darker or lost its vibrancy. This process happens to everyone with tile surfaces.

  • Using the wrong chemical to clean
  • Using a mop or other cleaning tools that shouldn’t be used on tile
  • Using Swiffer mops
  • Cleaning the floors with steam mops
