3 Tips for Caring for Tile and Grout

Let’s face it: caring for tile and grout cleaning isn’t as easy as others may think it is! It’s in the kitchen, the bathroom, your living room floor is tile… on cleaning day, it may seem like it’s everywhere and impossible to keep up with, but that’s not the case! Though grout is difficult to keep clean (just think of all of the use your shower gets) with a little willpower and maybe a professional’s touch, it can be simple to maintain. Below are three tips for doing just that: keeping your tile and grout looking brand new: 

Understand Why Grout is Difficult to Clean

Grout is porous in nature, which means that it easily absorbs moisture, dirt, dust, and many other debris. Sometimes a scrub brush can be all that it takes to remove debris, but other times, more extreme measures should be taken. 

Make Sure Your Grout is Sealed

Sealing your grout provides it with a protective layer against spills, stains, and grime. If your shower is used often enough, you may need to seal it once to twice a year. It’ll help the grout to repel stains, and keep your bathroom looking new for longer!
