How to Clean Grout
When
I'm asked how to clean grout, I say "cleaning grout is easy if it's
been properly sealed". If the grout is not sealed, then it seems to act
like a magnet, attracting dirt.
Cleaning grout is not really that hard if it was cleaned and sealed to
begin with and if it was coloresealed, then it's most likely very easy to
clean.
Ok, so it wasn't properly sealed and now it is dirty, that's why you're
doing a search for how to clean grout and found this site.
There are many tile and grout cleaners you can buy at the big box
stores or you can make your own grout cleaner. Check out our homemade grout cleaner page.
Once you've decided on what grout cleaner to use, apply the solution to
the tile and grout liberally. Allow the solution to dwell from 15-30
minutes.
If it's a large area to be cleaned, clean a small area, say 100 ft2
at a time, so not to overwelm yourself.
After allowing the grout cleaner to dwell and emulsify the dirt and
other contaminants, begin the scrubbing process. Use a deck brush to
clean the tiles and a grout brush to scrub the grout line.
While scrubbing the tile and grout, keep them wet and be sure to take
frequent rests and hydrate yourself by drinking lots water, because it
can
be hard work.
After you've finished scrubbing, mop up the dirty solution and rinse
with warm water. Dry the floor as best as you can with dry cotton or
microfiber cloths.
You now know how to clean grout. If the tile and grout is still dirty,
you may need to repeat the process or change your grout cleaner. We
recommend an akaline solution for grout cleaning.
Now that the tile and grout is sealed, it should be sealed with either
a grout sealer or colorsealer. Keeping your grout sealed with help keep
out unwanted stains absorbing into the grout.
