Keep Your Shower Tile and Grout Looking New by Professional Cleaning and Sealing of Tile & Grout

There is no doubt that everybody wants to have the best way to maintain tile and grout in the shower area and avoid costly repairs in the future. 

Grout is made with the property of water repellence so that it should remain in good condition for years. In a simple way to say, your grout should appear bright and shiny forever. However that is not found in most of the houses. Even with the best practice of tile and grout cleaning, mildewing and yellowing still persist. Why it happens so?

Grout experiences lot of wear: When we consider a home of 3 people showering at least once in a day then for 365 days the shower is used 1095 times in a year.  Only if your car stays outdoors your shower can get sunny days in between to get dried.

This heavy use creates a need to maintain your tile and grout professionally to keep them clean, sealed and look new. 

Unfortunately, the cleaning products that are sold in the market today to clean the tile and grout are harsh chemicals that quickly fix the problem. But they wear down your grout’s repellence in a course of time and change the grout to be water absorbing one with chalk like consistency. Therefore discolouring and mildew happens and stains the grout permanently. The only way left is to totally regrout which is an expensive option.

Another culprit for the stained grout is the local water supply which contains rust. If your house water supplied is rust filled then the whole house water filters have to be considered.  

Sealing: Professional sealing brings back the water repellence in the grout which has been lost over time. Moreover, the grout which is sealed becomes more stain resistant. High quality sealers such as the ones used by The Marble Man do not alter the surface appearance or colour of the stone tiles and grout. So it is recommended to seal the grout and tiles at least once or twice in a year according to your shower usage.

It is highly recommended to have annual professional maintenance of your shower tile and grout to keep your shower appears fresh and new. Marble, granite and other natural stone floor tiles need professional cleaning. There are fine pores on the surface of the stone which require cleaning with stronger cleaners and specialty scrubbing machines. Most people hesitate to call professional stone cleaners thinking it’s costly, but it is negligible when compared to the cost of rip out and replacing new shower when it goes bad.
