Restoring Tile and Grout at a Fresh Level Tile and grout put a meaningful impact on the surface. They raise the beauty of your home and business, only if they are restored with quality products. Your tile and grout are nothing short of a burden, if you are not taking the correct care. What are the Issues with Tile and Grout?
Grout is a cement based material, filling the gaps between your tiles. It is very porous, retaining all liquids, including dirty mop water. That’s what causes stains to take place on the surface and ruin grout lines and tiles. These stains penetrate deep into the surface, while regular cleaners eliminate stains only at the top of your tile and grout. That’s also one of the reasons why your surface stains very fast.
If you have installed natural stone, such as marble, slate, granite and travertine, on your floor, countertop and in showers, then it needs more care than ceramic and porcelain tiles. It is very porous just like sand at the beach, absorbing moisture that causes stains and the birth of mold. So, all natural stones and grout always need to be sealed with the correct product.
Other contractors clean and seal the surface with cheap restoration products from big box stores. These cleaners remove stains only at the top of tile and grout. However, the water based sealers peel and wear off tile and grout within six months that allows mold, mildew and stains to occur again.
Most contractors fill corners with caulk, which is cheap and easy to work with. However, caulking is just a temporary fix, as it ruins tile and grout within months. Caulk often softens and washes out of the corners in wet setting, while it dries up and peels in dry settings. It is also not chemical resistant and that’s why it looses its bond, when a cleaner is used. This is what invites mold that lurks in corners and grows throughout the entire surface in just a few days.
