Bathroom Grout Cleaning

With the increase in use of tiles and natural stone by both architects and the general public in recent years cleanliness has become rather problematic. General off the shelf cleaners and a mop may appear to be working when the surface is new but eventually the dirt and soil begins to build up, tiles start to look bland, grout lines lose their colour and can start to turn black.

On running your finger along a grout line it will probably feel greasy, this is due to constant mopping or conventional cleaning which tends to loosen the dirt, move it around and then deposit it in the grout lines. Until now there has been no real solution, people have either accepted the surface can't be cleaned totally and put up with it or in extreme cases rip out the tiles and replace them.

The technology and equipment used is completely new to the market and has been developed in conjunction with a range of cleaning products that further enhance the efficiency of our system. Using a combination of heat, water pressure, detergents and vacuum, the surface can be thoroughly and deeply cleaned and sanitised with all debris being removed rather than moved around and then deposited again.

Once the surface has been thoroughly cleaned it can then be treated to help prevent the build up of contamination from recurring. Grout lines can either be clear sealed or colour sealed. Clear sealing involves applying a colourless protective treatment, this is not a coating that sits on the surface but an impregnation that not only seals, but allows the grout to breath as well. It is recommended that all natural materials are clear sealed, limestone, sandstone, travertine and slate to name but a few. The clear seal helps prevent contamination from spillages of tea, coffee, wine, beer etc. it also prevents the build up of algae, moss and verdigree when used outside.

One of the key secrets to great looking tiles is great looking grout. Grout is porous and as a result, easily absorbs grease, dirt and limescale. Spillages such as from wine, lemonades or any greasy substances can cause marks and patches in the joints in the floor. Grout between wall-tiles, particularly in damp areas like bathrooms, can and will become dirty and unattractive as a result of mould, mildew and limescale.

Mould is one of the most unsightly problems, usually forming in the wettest area of a room, like the bottom of the shower or bath, and when left unchecked can spread to cover larger areas.

In bath or shower areas, continued use of acid formulated shampoos and soaps will cause discolouration of grout joints, causing yellow orange and pink stains to appear in the grout over time, which can be prevented by protecting using a grout sealer which forms an invisible barrier between the grout and the surface, protecting your investment for years to come.

In general, porous flooring such as terracotta should be sealed every two to three years to lock in the beauty of the tile and protect it from wear. Mexican terracotta in particular is very porous and difficult to clean. Mexican terracotta does not get baked in a kiln, instead they are left to bake outside in the sun and if it is a cloudy day the temperature can fluctuate leading to an increase in the porosity of the tile.

Ceramic or porcelain tiles usually aren't a problem to keep clean, they are most often glazed and baked from the tile manufacturer and repel soil and stains extremely well. The problem, as we all know, IS the grout. And unfortunately most grout is not sealed, at all.

As soil soaks into unsealed or poorly sealed porous grout, it builds up and compacts. This impacted soil and grime has nowhere to go but on top of the existing dirt on the grout, causing layer upon layer of soiling inside the grout. When it’s cleaned the traditional way with a mop and bucket, the embedded dirt is not fully removed – because it can’t be fully removed on unsealed or traditionally-sealed grout.

Grout is an extremely porous sand based material that absorbs and holds stains easily. Just as tiles are sealed to protect them grout can also be sealed. Often if you have a ceramic or porcelain tile that doesn't need sealing you can overlook the need to seal the grout.

However, for non-porous tiles, the grout tends to act as a magnet to any grime, dirt or mould. Mopping can just end up transferring grime into the porous grout. Sealing grout can also extend the life of your tiles as grout is the entry point for moisture that can lift tiles.

Tile Cleaners® have specialised methods to successfully seal grout lines, either on their own or as part of an entire surface seal. We strongly recommend that any newly laid porous tiles and grout be sealed immediately so the area gains the full benefit of the protection. Tiling is not an inexpensive exercise, so why not protect your investment?

Tile Cleaners® have specialised methods for sealing grout lines to ensure the best possible quality protection is achieved. If the entire tile is a natural stone or porous porcelain then it is suggested to seal the entire area. It would be pointless to only seal grout lines on a porous tile. The common misconception is that a glazed tile cannot only have the grout lines sealed. This is false. The grout line can be sealed on their own with no residue left on the glazed tile. The sealer will be strategically brushed on and the residue extracted off the tile before drying.

Tile Cleaners® are proud to be accredited applicators of Deepshield™ quality deep penetrating water based sealers which prolongs the life of your grout by taking advantage of recent advancements in nano-technology and fluoro-bond technology. Australian made impregnating Deepshield™ forms a bond with your grout that is stronger than any conventional mechanical or hydrogen bonding film forming sealers.

Tile Cleaners® is Australia's premier tile and grout cleaning, sealing and restoration provider. Cleaning dirty tiles and grout has become a huge issue for many over the years, and regular tile and grout cleaners often prove ineffective at cleaning dirty grout. Grout lines in particular tend to discolour and become mouldy very quickly.

If your tiles and grout have become dull, discoloured and hard to clean, or you have recently installed your tiles or your previous sealer is wearing off, Tile Cleaners® Cleaning and Sealing service provides the best possibility to hygienically clean your tiles effectively and efficiently and protect against future staining and deterioration.
