Whether it is the kitchen, the bathroom, or the hallway, tiled areas face a lot of daily traffic. It is no wonder that the grout between them collects dirt. And because it is made of a porous material, grout is more likely to stain or develop an unsightly, yellowish color. This is often the case in bathrooms, where the environment is typically more humid and there is a greater likelihood of mold formation.
It is important to clean the grout not only for aesthetic and hygienic reasons, but also to prevent black mold, which can be dangerous for people’s health. Having persistent and prolonged contact with mold may cause coughing, asthma and lung problems.
In addition, grout that has been affected too deeply by dirt deposits throughout the time may become impossible to clean properly, in which case it would need to be replaced.
To avoid all these inconveniences, there are several simple grout cleaning solutions that should be used periodically in order to keep your grout clean and good-looking for a long time.
A very good idea to prevent dirt from accumulating on the grout between the tiles is to use one of these solutions regularly, about once every few weeks. This way, tiles and grout will stay consistently clean, and the more frequently they are cleaned the less elbow grease you’ll have to use!
To keep the grout between the tiles looking clean, specialists recommend using a floor wax as a finishing touch. In addition to ensuring a beautiful shine, the wax will create a protective coating.
