3 Reasons You Should Leave Tile and Grout Cleaning to AIM CARPET CARE!
When you walk into someone’s home, chances are high that their kitchen and/or bathroom will have tile flooring—not just for the aesthetics, but for durability factor as well. In fact, it’s likely that your home has tile floors somewhere, too. And with good reason. Clean and tidy tiles do a lot for bringing life and beauty to your property, especially if they’re new.
However, as time goes on, no matter how many times you carry out tile and grout cleaning, the tiles as well as the grout lines in between those tiles, become dirtier. Regular cleaning with water and detergent can actually affect how grout lines look because they absorb those substances. Over time, this can lead to discoloration.
Certain tiles may also start accumulating dirt, becoming duller and reducing the overall appeal of your tile floor.
Given that, it’s easy to see why many homeowners struggle with keeping their tile floors in practically pristine condition. This is where professional tile and grout cleaning comes in.
If you’re not sure whether or not calling in a professional is worth it, here are several reasons to do so.
1. The Use of Advanced Cleaning Solutions and Equipment
While we’re sure there’s nothing wrong with the detergents you use to clean your floors, there’s no denying that the grout between your tiles will absorb part of the solution due to how porous grout actually is. Mop water used to clean the floor will also seep into the material, leading to further staining.
Professionals, however, have access to cleaners that won’t be absorbed as readily, and advanced equipment like high-powered vacuums to loosen, if not outright remove dirt that’s been embedded in the tiles and grout. They use brushes, too, that are specially designed to remove grime and dirt from grout lines, which can do a lot to improve a tile floor’s appearance.
Given all that, it’s easy to see why professional tile and grout cleaning has an edge over regular cleaning, and why the former would be preferable.
2. Periodic Cleaning Means Tiles Last Longer
If you always choose to go the DIY route when cleaning your tile floor, you’ll find yourself dealing with several tiles loosening thanks to a buildup of waste below them. This would call for immediate repair. When you get professionals to handle this cleaning, though, you can rest assured this will prevent buildup and thereby lessen the possibility of tiles coming loose.
Professional tile and grout cleaning can also help you avoid water damage, which can happen when mold and mildew accumulate underneath the tiles. Besides causing tiles to loosen, this lets even more water flow in. This can lead to even more tiles eventually coming loose, as well as damaging the floor under your tiles.
3. Tile and Grout Cleaning Becomes a Hassle-Free Process
Most homeowners put off cleaning tile floors because getting them to look clean and bright seems tedious, not to mention may feel like it takes a lot of time. Ironically, if you hold off on cleaning your tile floor for these reasons, you’re just making things worse. When you do clean your floor, you’ll have a harder time getting rid of the dirt and grime that’s built up
When you call a professional, though, they can get rid of much of the dirt and even apply a clear grout sealer to keep the grout lines from absorbing moisture. This lays the groundwork for easier cleaning in the future.
