Your tile and grout can easily start to look dirty or discolored over time. Even with your best cleaning efforts, this could be a problem. The good news is that tile & grout services can help with issues just like these.
We know what you’re thinking. Can’t you just bleach the tiles or clean them with DIY methods? Well, sure you can. But there are times when it really does pay to bring in a professional cleaning service too.
Check out these 3 signs that can help you determine when tile and grout cleaning might be needed.
3 Signs You Need Tile & Grout Services
1. Discoloration
Perhaps the most noticeable sign that you need tile and grout cleaning is when you start noticing discoloration. Your white grout is turning into brown grout, and it doesn’t have to. Grout will discolor over time as dirt or moisture find its way beneath the surface.
But it doesn’t have to stay that way. You would likely be amazed at how a deep cleaning from a professional renews and refreshes the look of your grout. That discoloration you thought you were stuck with will disappear. Your floors will look SO much better.
2. Tile or Grout Starts Looking Dull
Here’s another common sign for you. You were so proud of that tile when it was put in. It was absolutely gorgeous. But now it’s been a year or two, and it just doesn’t seem to have the same glow. That’s because dirt, grime, and even time wear on your tiles.
Hiring in tile & grout services is a great way to get a refresh. It’s not even just about a deeper clean here, but about bringing your tiles back to life. Skip reinstalling new tile for now, and go for a professional cleaning instead.
3. Mold Shows Up
Finally, the third most common sign that you need tile and grout cleaning is mold. This may be harder to pinpoint specifically, but you want to watch for it. Typically, the sign is discoloration of your tiles. However, instead of brown it will likely have shades of black or green that identify it as mold.
This happens when water soaks into the grout and eventually leads to mold growth. Mold can potentially be a health risk, so you want to get cleaning in place quickly to avoid making it worse. This is most likely to happen in spaces that are more prone to moisture. The bathroom or the kitchen are fairly common culprits. You’re less likely to see it in places like a hallway or living room.
Hire Professional Cleaning on a Routine Basis
The best thing that you can do is simply plan to hire in tile & grout services on a routine basis. We recommend at least once a year to really refresh your tiles and bring them to life again. However, you can always operate on an as-needed basis too.
Your tiles don’t have to be dull, dingy, discolored, or any other ‘dirty’ word. Give Semper Fi Floor Care & Restoration a call to make them look great again.
