Dirty grout joints, specially when they are in excess of 5mm in size, can lower the tone and beauty of your walll or floor tiles.
To ensure your grout joints do not distract from the beauty of your tiles use the Nerang Tiles handy guide. Before cleaning your grout and maintaining them, make sure you have the right tools. We recommend not wasting any time trying different ineffective clothes and water solutions that will end up doing a half done job and leaving your wallet lighter. You should use what the professionals use, grab some specially designed cleaning pads designed specifically for grout joint cleaning. Ask in store for information. Cleaning pads can vary in coarseness which means that you can customise the type of cleaning required for the size and sensitivity of your grout joints. Using proper detergent that is specifically designed for cleaning grout will make your job much easier and leave a better finish. These also vary in strength and you should ask the experts at Nerang Tiles on their recommendation on which cleaning products will work best for your specific job requirements. Tiles Before jumping in guns blazing with confidence you should run a test first. Pick an area of tiles that is not overly visible and do a patch test by following the manufacturer's instructions on the products you are using. To clean tiled floors, start by sweeping and vacuuming the area to remove any dust and fluff to avoid scratching the tiles when pressing down with the cleaning pads. Then clean the floor with a mild detergent and water. Make sure you change the water regularly to avoid spreading dirt and grime around instead of picking up off the tiles and grout joints. Please make sure that you do not use chemicals or industrial strength products on any natural stone flooring like travertine, marble or slate. You should check the manufacturer;s guidance on the products to make sure that the products you have selected are suitable for the flooring and will not damage the tiles.
