The longer you leave food, liquid, or even cleaning solution on tile without wiping it off, the harder it will be to remove.

Another contributor to dulled tile occurs over time soap scum and mineral deposit buildup. This is most typically found in shower stalls and other bathroom surfaces.

Grout Cleaning Long Island

Grout is the material that fills in the spaces between tiles. It is very important to the integrity of your tiling. In contrast to tile, grout is porous, generally made of various concentrations of cement, water and sand. It can be neutral or died a color to match or contrast the tile being installed. Clean, straight grout lines improve the overall appearance of tiled surfaces. For optimum functioning, grout should sealed. Sealing will allow the grout to add waterproofing to its functions and will also help prevent the onset of sub-surface rotting.

Darkened grout may indicate nothing more than water absorption by cement based grout. On the other hand, it can be a tell-tale sign that mold, mildew or some other fungus has begun to take hold. Great care must be taken to eradicate this potential health threat. Though there are many over-the-counter remedies offered, your safest bet is to hire an organization that specializes in grout cleaning, mold, mildew and fungus material. Anti-fungal products in and of themselves are unhealthy and should not be used by amateurs.

Properly applied and sealed grout can last almost as long as the tile surface where it is applied. However, if you are experiencing cracking, crumbling or the appearance of air bubbles, then your grout is in need of attention. A contractor or professional tile worker can regrout or reseal the surface and solve your problem.
