When cleaning your home, you probably don’t think too much about cleaning your tile. A quick pass with a cleaner and you’re done. You may be surprised to learn that grout should be deep cleaned, just like carpets! Bacteria and dirt get deep into the porous grout, causing discoloration and housing irritants that will be tough to remove. The Grout Medic of Northern Virginia specializes in grout cleaning with techniques and products that will not harm your grout or tile, and our grout sealing is made to last!
Why is Grout Cleaning and Sealing Needed?
Grout and tile are naturally porous. This means that there are tiny spaces throughout the grout and tile that allows dirt and grime into it. Over time, these materials settle deep beneath the upper edges of the exterior and go deep enough that household cleaners cannot reach them. Though most tile comes with pre-sealed on top, when the tile is cut to size, those porous edges become exposed. This is part of the reason why grout is important, to keep your tile clean, and prevent moisture buildup.
Properly sealing grout after it has been properly cleaned will help prevent this buildup. The Grout Medic of Northern Virginia utilizes a 20-year sealer, but the Tile Council of North America recommends that grout is resealed every two years. This will help prevent any discoloration and ensure that a protective seal is maintained.
