3 Tips for Keeping Tile and Grout Clean in Austin Texas

Are you noticing the grime build up and take over your tile and grout? It happens easily; grout is porous in nature and therefore easily absorbs liquids. This causes staining and discoloration! But it’s not a lost cause. With a few good practices put in place, and the help of a professional clean and restoration company, like The Steam Team, we can keep your tile and grout looking clean and bright- easily!

Prevent Spills and Accidents

The first step to keeping tile clean is to just be very, very careful. Try your best to prevent spills and accidents by keeping liquids away from the tiled floor (unless you’re in the kitchen, of course), and tend to accidents immediately. Remember that the faster you handle a spill, the less likely it is to stain!

Scrub, Scrub, Scrub!

After sweeping and mopping comes scrubbing! It can’t be avoided, unless you’ve decided to steam clean your tile and grout. Otherwise, scrubbing it is. Grab your scrub brush and your household tile cleaner and bust out that elbow grease! You’re going to need it.

Steam Cleaning Tile and Grout

We always recommend steam cleaning when it comes to caring for tile and grout. There are many benefits to this type of cleaning; for instance, it cleans without chemicals, and therefore won’t damage your tile and grout. It easily extracts dirt and grime from deep within the pores of grout, and leaves it looking like new! It’s efficient, effective, and perfectly safe for the environment. All it uses is hot water, and high water pressure.
