Two areas in our homes that don’t quite get enough attention are our tiles and grout. Even though we spend more time looking at them than we think (let’s be real - we’ve all stared off into the corner of the shower while washing our hair before), they are easily forgotten (or left out on purpose) when it comes to cleaning. So, is tile and grout cleaning worth it, and how can you clean tile grout in the best possible way? Absolutely! Here’s why and how…
1. Grout quickly absorbs dirt
That’s right. Unfortunately, grout is a very porous material, meaning it quickly soaks up moisture, dirt, and other mess. This can leave your grout looking super unsightly, often discoloured in areas. It can also affect your grout’s durability, causing it to break down if not cleaned properly and regularly.
2. No more mould
When tiled areas and grout aren’t kept clean, any moist areas can become a hotbed for mould. Mould is a fungus that can be very harmful to humans and animals and can spread like wildfire throughout damp areas of your home. By keeping tile and grout clean and protected with a mould removal gel and nanocoat, it helps to keep mould at bay, so it doesn’t become a problem.
3. Avoid nasty damage
You may be wondering, can dirty tiles and grout cause damage to my home? Broken-down grout caused by lack of proper cleaning is a big issue. Think about it – if the grout in your shower cracks or wears away, water can seep in behind your tiles, causing major structural damage to your home.
How do you clean grout?
It’s quite easy to go about cleaning tile and grout…if you have the proper tools to do so! Ensuring your grout and tiles are well protected from dirt, grime, moisture, and mould makes the task of cleaning tile and grout a far easier endeavour. We recommend using our Mould Remover and Protect Bundle! The Miracle Mould Removal Gel eliminates mould for good, while the Tile & Grout Nanocoat Kit steps in to provide a lasting shield, protecting the surface from dirt build-up, including grime, soap scum, mineral deposits, hard water stains, mildew, and mould.
There you have it. When you’re next in the mood to get busy with cleaning, don’t forget about the nooks, crannies, tiles, and grout!
