The Secret to Maintaining Spotless Grout Between Your Tile

Meet The Steam Team employee of the month.

Grout; a paste used to fill the gaps between tiles.

While tiles are one of the more simple flooring (or surface) choices to clean, it’s certainly not without its challenges. However, there’s no doubt in our minds that it’s worth it! Having spick-and-span tile and grout is sure to leave an impression. 

But - there’s a secret to maintaining that look with your tile. Let’s dive a little deeper.

A Porous Material

Porous means that grout absorbs materials that it comes in contact with extremely easily. Spills may be inevitable in some areas, but stains certainly don’t have to be.

The most common areas in a house to place tile (and grout) are kitchens and bathrooms - which also happen to be areas with frequent messes, spills, moisture, etc. 

Cleaning Grout

Getting liquids and other substances out of grout isn’t easy. It requires power, suction, heat, and a specialty cleaning solution. With grout, you can’t be too abrasive or tough, either, as it could crack or otherwise damage the material.

So, with tile and grout in areas with such risk, you need a good way to combat stains before they happen.

Hiring a Professional

Hiring a professional is undoubtedly the most effective and efficient way to completely clean grout. With professionals, you’ll be able to create a schedule to regularly clean your flooring - keeping it looking shiny and at its best at all times.
