Why Your Grout Keeps Getting Dirty And How To Fix It, For Good

If your grout looks dirty no matter how often you clean and mop, your not alone. Grout is porous it will absorb dirt, moisture and bacteria over time. The humidity in South Florida only makes that problem worse. Here’s what causes grimy grout and how to fix it.

1. Humidity And Moisture Build Up.

South Florida’s humidity creates the perfect environment for mildew and bacteria to grow deep in porous grout lines. Ordinary moping will push dirty water into those pores making the grout look even worse.

Solution: Professional grout cleaning using heat, pressure and vacuum extraction. After the cleaning use a clear penetrating sealer to keep moisture and future staining out.

2. Cleaning With The Wrong Products.

Household cleaners with bleach or acid are safe for tiles but not for the grout. These cleaners can eat away at the grout and cause premature breakdown of the grout making the grout more absorbent.

Solution: Use PH neutral cleaners for regular maintenance and call a professional periodically for a deep clean and reseal.

3. Worn Or Missing Grout Sealer.

Grout sealer wears down over time leaving your grout completely unprotected.

Solution: Schedule professional resealing every year especially in high traffic area’s.
