How to Clean Your Tile, Grout, and Stone by Carpet Cleaning Gordon

While tile and stone floors can add beauty and sophistication to any space, they can be difficult to keep clean, especially around grout lines. more about the author Your grout can become dull and dingy over time as dirt and grime build up. It doesn't need to be complicated. With only a few easy steps by carpet cleaning gordon, your feet may appear brand new.



First, gather all your materials. For simple grout cleaning, you will need a few household items like white vinegar, baking soda, and a scrub brush. If your grout is soiled or stained, you spend money on a commercial grout cleaner created for this purpose.

Clear your workspace by removing any furniture and other items from the floor. You will also need to dry the floor before you begin cleaning. Make sure you hose off any excess water.

Begin by adding equal amounts of baking soda to your bucket. Apply the solution to the grout lines with your scrub brush, being careful to get into all the nooks and crannies. You can increase the amount of baking soda in the mixture if the grout is filthy. Apply elbow grease as necessary as you scrub the solution into the grout lines.

Next, give the floor a thorough rinse with clean water to eliminate all of the baking soda residues. For this stage, you can either use a mop or a bucket of water.

You can try using a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water if your grout lines still appear dingy. Mix the solution in a bowl and apply it with a scrub brush. Wait 5-10 minutes. Then rinse the floor thoroughly with clean water.

Stone surfaces can be cleaned in the same way, but avoid acidic cleaners or scrub brushes as they could cause damage. You can clean stone surfaces with warm water and dish soap, but you should verify the manufacturer's instructions to determine the exact type of stone.

To keep your freshly cleaned grout lines free of dirt and stains after cleaning is complete, it's a good idea to seal them using grout sealant. Simply coat the grout lines with a thin, even layer of glue, allow it to sit for the advised amount of time, and then wipe off any extra.
