Dark and dirty looking grout is the result of naturally occurring debris and moisture. As most tile and grout are found in areas exposed to large amounts of moisture, the darkening of grout is actually a result of a mold and mildew mixture. Since grout is porous in nature, dirt, mold, and mildew get trapped inside the pores of grout and are therefore immune to standard mopping methods. Tile is flat surfaced and is more accessible for cleaning, however one must consider a tile's cleaning solution and its potential reactions to grout.
If your tile and grout are looking a little green, it may be time to check your property for mold. While mold is not always harmful, it can cause allergic reactions in some people and is generally considered to be unsightly.
Take a moment to think about how many tiles you have in your home. Now look at the grout lines. Now look at how dirty they are. Honestly, do you really want to spend hours and hours cleaning? And by cleaning, we mean getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing elbow grease style.
There is no reason to scrub away your entire weekend when UCM Carpet Cleaning of DC has a cleaning service immediately available to do it for you. Fortunately for us, we don't have to scrub because we have industrialized tools to do the work for us. Instead of just mopping, and therefore transferring dirt and soil from one place to another, our tile and grout cleaner does the work for us while our cleaning technician directs it.
There is always the age-old argument about whether to clean tile and grout yourself or hire a professional. Do-it-yourself methods may seem like a good way to save money at first, but they don't always work out in the long run. Investing in professional services is the better choice because:
Professional tile and grout cleaners, like UCM Carpet Cleaning of DC, have years of experience in the field and access to high-tech tools made just for deep cleaning. Unlike regular products, these professional-grade tools get deep into the grout lines and remove dirt and germs that are stuck there.
Do-it-yourself cleaning methods might work for a short time, but they usually don't get to the root of the problem, so stains and discolorations keep coming back. Professional services, on the other hand, use strong cleaning products that are made to work with your tile type, so they get the job done right and leave a shine that lasts.
If you don't do regular upkeep, your tile and grout will wear out faster, and you'll have to pay a lot to fix or replace them later. If you let professionals clean your surfaces, you can bring back their original shine and make them last longer, which will save you time and money in the long run.
