One of the many differences that a professional tile and grout cleaning service in Redondo Beach can bring to your floor is the level of service.

Professional Grout and Tile Cleaning Services

As we covered previously, one of the biggest differences between trying to clean your tile and grout yourself, and hiring a tile cleaning service, is the level of cleanliness and sanitation that they are able to achieve. If you take a moment and look down into the grout between your tiles you will probably notice that it isn't the same color that it was when it was first put in. Now, this doesn't help the appearance of your tile, but that's not the main concern here. The main concern is the fact that the buildup in the grout of various substances makes it an ideal place for bacteria to grow and thrive. What makes a professional tile cleaning service superior to what you can do yourself is the fact that they have the training, tools, and equipment necessary to effectively clean out the bacteria that cannot be removed using normal cleaning methods.

What Is Grout Sealing?

What is grout sealing? Grout sealing is the application of a sealant that is usually done after tile work has been completed. Most contractors don't recommend putting down a sealant right away so that the grout has time to cure properly. In terms of types of sealants, there are spread on types, and there is spray on types. Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Why is grout sealing done? You remember how grout gets stained, and those stains are breeding grounds for bacteria? Well, when done correctly grout sealing can help to keep anything from getting bonded to the grout, thus helping to keep it from staining or from allowing bacteria to build up in the cracks between tiles. Is it foolproof? No, even with grout sealing you are still going to have to hire a tile cleaning service to come out and clean your tile and grout once or twice a year. But grout sealing can help to keep your grout cleaner and nicer looking between cleanings, which makes it a must when you have new tile work done.

While grout sealing is generally done shortly after the installation of new tile, it can also be done after having your tile and grout cleaning done. Grout sealing does wear out over time, so if it's been a while since you had the tile in your home put in, then it's probably a good idea to think about having the grout sealing done again by a professional tile cleaning service in Redondo Beach.
