4 Reasons to Get Your Tile and Grout Cleaned by a Professional

Having tile in your home serves a variety of purposes. Obviously, many people prefer having tile in their kitchen and bathrooms, thanks primarily to its water-resistant nature. In areas where water is heavily used, it’s important to have flooring and backsplash in place that can withstand water. Additionally, elegant looking tile can automatically elevate the look of any space. However, tile, just like any other finish in your home, requires a certain amount of maintenance. While occasionally wiping down tile surfaces in your home or mopping tile floors can help, it’s still a good idea to have these surfaces professionally cleaned.

Tile Cleaning is Time Consuming
Yes, you can mop your tile floors or wipe off other tile surfaces, but in order to truly clean tile and the grout that holds them together, you’re going to need to invest some time. If you’re like most people, you simply don’t have the kind of time necessary to deep clean every tile and the grout between each one. Instead of spending an entire day cleaning each tile and the grout between your tile, trust the job to the professionals.

Grout Can Become a Breeding Ground
Since grout is an incredibly porous substance, it is incredibly easier for water and dust to collect in it. When moisture and other substances come together in your grout, it’s not uncommon for mold or mildew to begin to grow. Not only does the presence of mold and mildew damage the look of your tile and grout work, but it also presents an unhealthy environment for you and your family. Wiping it off isn’t enough, so you need to allow a professional grout cleaner to come in and remove the substances that may be growing between your tiles.

Extend the Lifespan of Your Tile
Cleaning your tile and grout doesn’t just make it look better. Doing so is also an investment in the long-term viability of these surfaces. If left uncleaned, the material that collects in your grout can cause the grout to start peeling up, leading to disconnected tiles. Instead of paying the hefty price of replacing large areas of tile, let our team of professional cleaners remove the substances that can shorten your tile’s lifespan. An investment in cleaning today is an investment in your surfaces in the future.

Getting Beneath the Surface
Ultimately, you probably don’t have access to the materials and tools that you need to deep clean your tile and grout. A quick wipe down may return the shine to your tiles and may even make your grout appear white on the surface. However, the issues that can damage your family’s health, the viability of your surfaces, and more are often found below the surface. Professional cleaning doesn’t just remove the upper layers of dust and dirt. Instead, we can deep clean these surfaces and reach the areas that you simply can’t.

It’s generally recommended that you have your tile and grout work professionally cleaned once a year.
