Top Floor Tile Grout Cleaning Tips

• Theres nothing more attractive in a home than a
  beautiful, clean tiled floor, but when dirty,
  stained grouting becomes a problem, it can
  quickly spoil the look of it.
• To help keep your tiled floor looking beautiful
  at all times, here are some simple grout cleaning
  tips
• Firstly, its important to understand that there
  are different types of grouts, and each type will
  require a slightly different method of cleaning,
  due to the way in which they react to certain
  chemicals or cleaning products.

• Sanded grout gritty and typically used for
  larger sections like 1/8 to 1 inch fillings, this
  is a cement filling used most commonly for floors
  that experience high levels of foot traffic.
• Unsanded grout this is also a cement filling,
  but is more commonly used for narrower spaces,
  and cleaning it is usually easier than sanded
  grout.
• Epoxy grout this is usually found in any areas
  of the home that might be exposed to water, such
  as bathrooms and mudrooms, and is the easiest
  type to clean.

• Cleaning floor grout without the need for
  scrubbing
• Floor grout is prone to disintegrating when you
  scrub at it too often, so try to avoid this.
  Instead, make a solution of 1/3 cup of baking
  soda and ¼ cup of hydrogen peroxide, add a
  teaspoon of liquid dish soap and apply it to the
  grout. Leave it for around 10 minutes and using a
  towel or sponge, simply wipe it gently off and
  leave the grout to dry.
• Will a professional cleaning service clean my
  floor grout?
• Absolutely, and this is often how they will do
  it

• With a solution of vinegar and water (11 ratio),
  theyll simply spray it onto the grout and use a
  soft toothbrush to loosen the grime.
• They may also use a lint-free cloth or sponge to
  wipe the solution away, but will never scrub
• How to clean floor grout without damaging it
• The best way to avoid damaging your floor grout
  is to use the non-scrubbing method mentioned at
  the top of this article, but there are a few
  other tips you can use, too

6

• Never use high friction brushes, sandpaper or
  anything else that will scrape the grout
• Try to use homemade cleaners that are less harsh
  after all, theyre cheaper and you probably have
  those things in your store cupboard anyway.
• Even if youre cleaning water-resistant grout,
  its best not to let the grout sit for too long
  with lots of cleaning solution on it dab at it
  to soak it up with a strong cloth.
• With these tips, your floor grout can be
  spotlessly clean in next to no time, and if you
  already have a cleaning service that you use, why
  not add cleaning the grout to their list of
  duties, when the need arises.
