multi-clean.com Ceramic and porcelain tile are common floor surfaces in restrooms, locker rooms, kitchens, and similar areas. While tile surfaces are relatively easy to clean, the real challenge often lies between the tiles, in the grout.
Grout’s porosity makes it sensitive to the penetration of dirt and provides a great hiding place for odor-causing bacteria. One of the biggest problems facing cleaning personnel is getting dirty tile grout clean and keeping it clean.
To rejuvenate dirty and discolored grout to a like-new condition, a simple two-step process is recommended.
The first step involves deep cleaning to remove embedded soils as well as previously applied sealers. A deep cleaning solution is applied by mop, agitated with a manual brush or cleaning machine, and the dirty solution is removed with a wet/dry vacuum.
The second step removes remaining stains while brightening the grout back to its original appearance. Application of a stain-removing and grout-brightening solution is followed by agitation and pick-up with a wet/dry vacuum.
Now that the grout is clean and bright, how do we keep it that way? The first and most important step is to seal the porous grout, to repel soils and odors.
Crete-Guard is a penetrating sealer & protectant for polished concrete and grout. When applied, it repels water and oils on the surface of the grout, which prevents dirt, stains, and odors from entering the grout.
Although the grout has been sealed, it is still important to properly maintain grouted tile.
Grouted floors are often wet mopped. Regardless of the product used, it is important to use a clean mop and to change the cleaning solution regularly.
There are various products to use on grouted tile, depending on the situation and your specific cleaning goals. For daily general purpose cleaning, use a cleaner like Double-O-Seven DC. To clean and disinfect, use the disinfectant Millennium Q. To clean and deodorize, use the bio-enzymatic cleaner Tri-Fecta.
