Tips to Clean the Tile Joints Properly
Tiles as a floor in your home or business premises? There is a good chance that the joints between the tiles are dirtier than you think. The joints dis-color slowly, so you don’t always notice that they are dirty. In this blog, M24 tells you more about how to best approach cleaning grout!
Why do tile joints get dirty?
In general, tiles have to endure a lot. Tiles in the kitchen can quickly become dirty due to dirt and grease created during cooking. In the bathroom, for example, dirt quickly arises due to soap residue and the amount of moisture in the room. In addition, tiles on the floor can quickly become dirty when people walk on the floor with shoes. Vacuuming and mopping do not always ensure proper cleaning of the joints.
What kind of cleaning agent to use for cleaning grout?
When properly cleaning the joints, it is of course important to start by using the right cleaning agent. There are a lot of grout cleaners on the market that are specially made for cleaning grout. In addition, there are also a lot of do-it-yourself products to clean the joints of your floor. For example, think of green soap and soda, water and vinegar or bleach and water. Before cleaning, make sure you check carefully whether your floor can withstand the product. You obviously don’t want the tiles to be damaged by the cleaning agent.
What steps should you take when cleaning grout?
First make sure you vacuum the floor thoroughly. This ensures that no loose dirt can be found on tiles. Then you can start with the cleaning products. Scrub the joints with a brush and let the cleaning solution soak in. Then scrub the grout again with lukewarm water. Then make sure you clean the grout thoroughly without a cleaning agent, so that it is removed from the floor. The desired result may not be visible after one cleaning. In this case you can repeat the above steps a number of times.
