When you have tile installed in your home, you are choosing one of the most durable flooring options available. While they can provide you with a no fuss no muss flooring situation, this doesn’t mean that you set it and simply forget it. There is still a certain amount of maintenance that needs to be performed on your tile and especially your grout to keep it from sustaining damage. Silver State Floor Restoration is here to share some tips to help you keep your grout in good condition since it’s such a porous material.
Use the Right Tile Grout Cleaner
The number of cleaners that people claim to be the best for tile and grout is extensive. It is important that you are using the right type of cleaner on your tile and grout flooring to avoid causing significant damage to the grout between your tiles. While some may say that lemon and vinegar make goo all purpose cleaners, they should not be used on grout because of their acidic nature. These acidic cleaners can also cause etching in the tiles that the grout is holding together as well. You should be looking for a pH balanced cleaner that is still going to do a great job at cleaning but is gentle on the grout. Many natural stone cleaners will do a great job of cleaning your tile floor without causing any damage to the grout.
Is it Really Necessary to Seal Grout?
One of the leading causing in broken grout is the lack of sealing that is done by homeowners. The sealant that is used on grout will help not only protect the grout, but it will also keep the grout from absorbing moisture that can cause mildew growth. Moisture is going to be the issue when it comes to cracked grout that starts to fall out from between the tiles.
Clean Spills on Tile Floors Right Away
Like mentioned above, moisture is the leading cause in grout deterioration. If you notice that a spill takes place, clean it up as soon as possible to avoid any damage to your grout. This will keep it from causing any staining as well as further damage to the grout. Other substances that can cause problems include grease and soap scum.
