At The Grout Medic, we're here to assist you with cleaning, repairing, or replacing your tile and grout whenever the need arises. However, maintaining the integrity of these surfaces between our services is crucial. While regular mopping is a good practice, there are some common cleaning myths about tile that we want to debunk to ensure you're caring for your tile and grout in the best way possible.
Truth: Regular mopping has its benefits, but it may not effectively remove embedded dirt, grime, and bacteria from the pores of your grout and tiles. For a deeper clean, professional steam cleaning is recommended to lift stubborn debris and eliminate bacteria.
Truth: While bleach is a potent stain remover, it doesn't actually remove dirt from grout lines. Moreover, its strong nature can lead to erosion and premature degradation of your grout and tile. Effective cleaning involves physically pulling dirt particles away from the surface.
Truth: Vigorous scrubbing with a wire brush can indeed remove embedded dirt, but it can also be too harsh, causing damage to your grout. Opting for a soft-bristled scrub brush is a better choice to avoid chipping and missing grout.
Truth: Professional steam cleaning equipment, such as the tools used at The Grout Medic, goes beyond what residential steam cleaners can achieve. Our equipment reaches powerful sanitizing temperatures and up to 3,000 PSI of water pressure, delivering satisfying cleaning results.
Understanding these truths will empower you with the knowledge to care for your tile and grout effectively. While we're here to provide our professional services, incorporating these insights into your routine maintenance will contribute to the long-term beauty and durability of your surfaces.
