Preserve Your Floors with Grout Cleaning

Home > Steam Giant Blog > Preserve Your Floors with Grout Cleaning

Incorporating tile flooring in your home can add a sense of luxury to your space, but over time the grout in between each square can become discolored from picking up bacteria and dirt.

Preserve Your Floors with Grout Cleaning

Cleaning the grout in between tiles can revitalize your floors, making them look newer and helping them to last longer. Here are some of our favorite ways to preserve the life of your tiles with grout cleaning:

  • Gently scrubbing the grout with some hot water and a stiff bristle brush can loosen and lift dirt harboring on the material. We recommend letting the water sit before using the brush to soften hard debris.
  • Create a gentle cleaning solution to penetrate deeper than a brush can go. You can create a gentle DIY solution by mixing two-part baking soda with one part hydrogen peroxide.
  • If the grout on your floor is in a high traffic area, you may want to seal it to prevent dirt and grime from accumulating in the first place. A grout sealant works by covering any pores in the material so that nothing can permeate through.

A common mindset is to opt for tile flooring because it is typically less maintenance than carpet or hardwood. However, while the tile may be easy to clean, the grout in between is typically harder to deal with.

Many people put off grout cleaning due to the amount of tedious work involved. Our team at Steam Giant offers tile and grout cleaning services to take the extra chore off your shoulders.
