Many of us aren’t inclined to look at our feet when decorating our homes. We tend to be more focused on the interior design of our homes and the appliances we use. The appearance of grout can often go unnoticed until it becomes too dirty to be avoided. However, dirty grout can quickly make your home look untidy. Grout Brothers is your trusted expert in grout cleaning and grout installation. However, there are some things you can do at your home to maintain the beauty of your grout for many years.
Don’t Let Messes Linger
Tile cleaning service in Auckland is more resistant to food and pet stains than carpet. You can wipe up any spillages with a towel if you drop something on your tile floor. It’s easier to keep tiles clean than it is to spill anything on them. These messes can linger longer, especially if they are deep-coloured ones like red wine. This will increase the risk of staining grout.
Protect it from Unnecessary Moisture
Tiles should be cleaned regularly. While it is possible to clean tiles with just a little water, it is not recommended to use too much. It is best to avoid soaking your tiles in too much liquid. This can cause damage. Too much water can make it more difficult to clean, and it can also cause mold to form on your grout and tiles. Water can seep under the tiles, causing decay and eventually ruining them.
Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals
It’s tempting to scrub grout with strong cleaners, but this can backfire quickly. The grout can be damaged by excessively strong solvents, which can cause pitting and other problems. Avoid cleaning products that contain dyes as they can stain grout. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products (such as steel wool) as they can scratch the tile’s surface. Use soft cloths and mops instead to clean your tiles.
