As we covered previously, a professional tile and grout cleaning company doesn't use a simple mopping process to clean your tile floors. Instead, they will use a powerful steam cleaner to sanitize them, and then a vacuum to remove anything that may have been trapped in the grout. They will then polish your floors, and if you elect to have them do it they may also apply a floor sealer. While a floor sealer is an additional expense, it is well worth it because it helps to protect your floors so that they will last longer.When it comes to cleaning your tile floors cleaning the actual tile is fairly simple. In fact, with something as simple as a mop and some bleach you can easily clean and disinfect your tile floors without much difficulty and get some of the results that you would have with a tile cleaning service. So why would you want to hire a professional company for grout cleaning? Because while you probably spend a good amount of time sweeping and mopping your floors it's very unlikely that you dedicate as much time and effort into cleaning the grout. That's where all of the dirt, grime, and germs are going to build up over time.
The Importance of Grout Sealing
While you could try to scrub the grout out by hand, this is both time consuming as well as bad for your grout. When you apply a lot of pressure and scrub your grout you will succeed in cleaning it, but you'll also succeed in wearing it down more quickly. That's why a professional tile cleaning company is a better option. Instead of scrubbing your grout they will use a steam cleaner and vacuum, which will leave the grout clean without damaging it.When you had your tile floors put in one thing that should have been done is the grout should have been sealed. Unfortunately, grout sealing doesn't last forever, and once the sealant has worn out it's important that you have your grout sealed again by a professional. Why is grout sealing important? For one thing, grout is not waterproof. It's made from a mixture of sand and mortar which makes it both inexpensive as well as flexible.
So remember, that's the true mark of a professional. They don't just clean your tile. They clean your grout as well.
