Are your tiles older than grandma’s antique vase? Your Tile and grout cleaners Surrey may be covered with grime, stains and other stubborn substances. You are not alone. Surrey residents have a hard time keeping their tiles and walls clean. What is the magic potion that will restore these once-pristine surfaces to their former glory? You might even find yourself singing along as you clean.

Have you ever taken a good look at the grout between your tiles? The grout is those little lines between the tiles that quietly collects dirt and grease. They change from a clean white to a dirty gray over time. Unfortunately, grout is porous. It is porous so anything spilled on it can seep through and become a comfortable home.

Before you think about using a toothbrush to scrub the floor (an exercise of patience if there ever was one), let’s talk about strategy. It’s more than using elbow grease. Although, it does help. You also need to use the right tools and cleaning products.

Small Steps, Big Results

Imagine that your once-glistening kitchen tiles are now so dull and dingy they could easily double as chalkboards. But you need to do it smartly. Turn baking soda into a paste using water. Spread evenly on your grout lines. Wait about 5 minutes. Not 4, not 6, but 5 is where you want to be.

Chemical Wonders

Sometimes natural isn’t enough. Commercial cleaners can help. Choose a cleaner that’s both powerful and safe. You don’t want to turn your grout into an uncontrolled chemical playground. These cleaners dissolve years of grime with ease. The tiles are now practically cleaning themselves.

The Scrub Factor

Realistically, you’ll need to scrub. The grout will not clean itself. Your best friend is a stiff bristled toothbrush. You can use short, alternating strokes. It is as monotonous sounding as it may be. The satisfaction of seeing the original colour return is priceless!

Steam it up!

You have a steamer? Now is the time to dust your steam cleaner. Steam will penetrate the deepest cracks to remove dirt that has built up since your homewarming party. Your tiles will feel like they’ve had a spa day.

Sealing the Deal

Now that you have cleaned up, it’s time to relax. You’re ready to enjoy yourself? Nope! Sealing the grout is a good idea before you start relaxing. This will create a protective layer that keeps out any future stains. You’re applying the last coat of gloss paint to an artwork. The little bit of extra effort is worth it.

Little Touches

We’ll change gears. Why not enjoy yourself while you are at it? You can play your favorite songs or get a buddy to help. Cleaning parties are fun. Laughter and music can transform a tedious task into something almost enjoyable.

Regular Maintenance

This is a bit of advice: Don’t let it get too bad. You can maintain your tiles without having to do heavy cleaning. Weekly, just a few swipes with a mop using mild detergent will do wonders. You will thank yourself in the future.

Next time you look down at those grout lines and notice that they are dingy, just remember, this is not a constant battle. You’re equipped. You are equipped. These floors will soon shine like diamonds, well, almost. The work of cleaning tile and grout may not be glamorous, but how about the joy that comes from walking on clean floors? The results are worth the effort.
