Care and Maintenance of Sealed Grout

4/18/2008 10:11:00 AM by We Caulk Showers LLC

Care and Maintenance of Sealed Grout
To remove spills or soil/dirt from the grout joints use a properly diluted, true neutral pH cleaner (7-7.5 on pH scale) with a string type mop, pole brush or grout brush. Change your cleaning water often, most dirt buildup is caused by wiping dirty water onto the tile surface.


After your grout has been thoroughly cleaned and sealed with either clear or color sealer, you should follow these simple maintenance instructions described below:

Do's and Dont's of Ceramic Tile Grout Care

Do use a Neutral pH cleaner for periodic and regular maintenance of your tile and grout. I.E. Zep Neutral Maintenance Cleaner (Home Depot), AquaMix Ultra Clean Neutral Floor Cleaner (Lowe‘s), Regency Professional Neutral Floor Cleaner, Enhance Neutral Floor Cleaner…(Online) Bona Hard Surface Cleaner (Target, Etc.)


Don't use vinegar and water for cleaning tile. Vinegar is acidic and will damage grout and bleach its color. A neutral pH cleaner is a better choice.

Don't use muriatic acid or other acidic cleaners- it is dangerous to people, pets, tile and grout.

Don't use bleach on a tile application. It is acidic, corrosive and toxic and has the same effect on tile and grout as vinegar.

Don't clean the surface of tile with abrasive cleaning powders. They will scratch the tile and wear down glazed and unglazed surfaces prematurely.Don't use steel wool on tile - this is another way to scratch the tile surface.

Don't use dish detergents, they will leave a soapy residue and cause dullness.

Remember........ If your grout has been sealed with a clear sealer, prompt clean-up of spills and regular cleaning with a true Neutral pH cleaner will help prolong the life of the sealer. To maximize protection, sealer will need to be applied every year.
If your grout has been sealed with a color sealer, regular cleaning with a true Neutral pH cleaner will keep your floor looking it's best for many years to come.

Maintenance and Care of your Granite Countertops

Natural granite is considered the countertop material of choice by many home owners and contractors alike. But why is this? Quite simply the versatility and ease of cleaning and care makes it so popular.

* Granite is available in countless natural patterns and colors, making it possible for even the choosiest customers to find a countertop they will love for years to come.

* It is durable - highly resistant to staining agents and acidic foods that are very commonly found in the kitchen. It's durability means that granite requires much less care and upkeep than other popular countertop materials available.

* It's beautiful - with all the patterns and colors available it can be difficult to choose just one pattern from all the ones available. Clear crystals give some patterns a 3D depth, and new colors and artifacts appear every time you study it.

* Temperature is not an issue with a stone countertop. You can take a boiling pot of water off the stove and place it directly on the granite without worrying about burns. After all, when it was formed deep in the earth, it was a lot hotter than a boiling pot of water.

What is the best product for daily cleaning?
We recommend using our Tile and Stone Cleaner for daily cleaning.
It can be purchased in our online store.

How often should I seal my granite countertops?
An annual professional cleaning and resealing is recommended. Granite is still porous, and some patterns are more porous than others. This is why it needs to be resealed once a year. Sealing helps it resist staining, and retain its luster.

Do you offer this service?
Yes, Grout Kleen will clean and reseal your granite countertops. We use a our own tile and stone cleaner to remove any surface dirt, grease and grime. We then go over the entire surface with a professional strength sealer to help it resist stains and keep its shine.
