Questions to Ask Your Professional About their Grout Cleaning Process

How Will You Clean My Grout?

Make sure that your potential cleaning professional uses specialty cleaning agents designed specifically for grout, tile and natural stone. These agents are formulated to eliminate greasy soils, mineral sealing and yellowing soap scum using a high-pressure water jet sprayer.

A good cleaning expert uses steam technology to deep clean tiles and grout in the bathrooms. The environment-friendly process leaves the bathroom safe for use by killing the bacteria which builds up over the years, without using any harsh chemicals.

How Do You Seal My Grout?

An experienced professional uses impregnating sealants that are water or solvent based solutions which penetrate below the surface and become repellents. Impregnating sealants keep contaminants out, thus keeping your grout’s interior moisture intact.

When Can I Return to Normal Use of My Grout after Sealant is Applied?

It is recommended to wait until the sealant gets dry at least for 2 to 3 hours before walking on the floors. The sealant takes 24 hours to cure completely. So, make sure that you are not using shower and tub areas before the next day.

How Often Should I Have My Grout Cleaned?

The frequency of grout cleaning depends on foot traffic, pets and routine floor maintenance. Besides, sealant and maintenance care are important factors in determining how often you need a professional cleaning service.

Make sure that you are not using acidic cleaning agents for maintenance of your grout. Acidic cleaning agents allow dirt to seep into the porous material, making it hard, thus compromising the sealant. A good cleaning professional would recommend cleaning your grout with warm water and a neutral pH cleaning agent like a dish detergent.
