As we covered previously, if you want to clean your tile yourself, you probably aren't aware of the fact that almost as important if not more so than your tile is your grout.  Grout is more than just a division point between your tiles, it is also a cushion for your tile.

A professional San Antonio tile cleaning service will likely recommend something like grout sealing. Grout sealing protects your tile as well as your grout, both from damage and from stains as well.

Some stains are worse than others.  For example, grout is very porous.  If it is sanded grout, then it has sand as part of it's composition.  Have you ever heard of non porous sand?  Neither have we.  Since grout is so porous, that means that some spills can sink right into the grout, and go under the tile.  Why does that matter?  Well without grout sealing, the grout can be exposed to bacteria that not only is a potential health hazard, it can start eroding the grout under the tile.  One wrong step and you have to find a way to replace the elegant Spanish tile that you have with a pattern that is very close, but not exact.

What Does Grout Sealing Do?

What does grout sealing do?  Well, if you go for clear grout sealing, it will fill each of the pores with a thick, liquid-proof resin that will harden in place and not only give your grout a shiny and glossy appearance, it will prevent stains from penetrating.  How long does grout sealing last?  Well, if you follow the care instructions provided by your tile cleaning service, you can expect your sealed grout to last at least five years.  There are grout sealing projects that we've done that are more than a decade old, and they still look as good as they did when we first applied them.

So take care of your floor.  Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach, and make sure that you sweep your floor at least once a week.  Follow the care instructions for your tile, and ask the advice of a professional tile cleaning service in San Antonio.
