Tile & Grout CleaningTile & grout cleaning requires specific attention to detail that needs to be performed regularly. Tile is a sturdy and beautiful flooring choice, but it also requires proper maintenance to keep it from looking worn and dirty. Grout is located in between each tile to fill in the gaps and help keep the tile in place. Most grout is white; however, it will become a dirty gray quickly if it’s not cleaned frequently. It is a permeable material that, unfortunately, stains easily and absorbs dirt and bacteria. If neglected, it can also become a breeding ground for mold. Mold can eventually decay the grout and lead to necessary flooring repairs.

Not only does grout help fill the gaps and hold tiling in place, but it also accentuates the look of the tile and brings out the unique stone designs. This can only be true if it is clean and bright, though. Otherwise, it has the opposite effect and makes the rest of the flooring look dirty and grimy. If your grout is in bad condition and has not been maintained well, the first time cleaning it will require more work. However, it will be much easier if the grout is cleaned as a regular part of cleaning the tile.
