3 Tricks to Maintaining the Look of Your Tile and Grout

 

Looking for a great flooring option that is both durable and easy-to-clean? Take a minute to seriously consider a tile floor. Carpet or hardwood flooring is found in many homes, but tile flooring is also a great option. Many people think of tile and its grout as extremely difficult to keep clean compared to carpeting. However, that’s not always the case, especially if you know these three tricks to keeping your tile and grout looking great:

Clean Up Spills Quickly – Grout absorbs stains more easily than you might think. Moreover, food particles that are allowed to sit on grout and are not wiped away quickly can contribute to mold growth and additional discoloration. Be sure to wipe up messes and spills as soon as they occur to limit the chances of your tile and grout being stained.

Consider Professional Cleaning – Even with careful care, tile and grout will occasionally get dirty. If you have particularly stained grout, then consider having it professionally cleaned. Not only will the floor look like new, but the professionals will know which exact cleaning products to use.

Have Your Grout Sealed – When installing new tile flooring, make sure that your tile and carpet company properly seals the grout. The sealing process creates an invisible but highly effective protective barrier across the grout and tile surface to help prevent staining and other discoloration.
