The Challenge of Kitchen Tile and Grout Cleaning
If the tile and grout in your Fort Lauderdale kitchen is looking a bit dingy and dull, you may want to think twice about your options for getting it clean. Tile is becoming very popular in Florida homes and is commonly used for floors, countertops and backsplashes. Tile itself is fairly easy to clean but the grout that surrounds it is a different matter.
Grout is a relatively soft porous material that has a propensity to trap and absorb kitchen spills as well as the dirt and grime that is tracked in by shoes, sandals, bare feet and paws. The kitchen is the most trafficked space in your entire home. Getting that dirt and debris out of grout is a real challenge.
Fort Lauderdale You Have Options When Cleaning Kitchen Tile and Grout
The fact of the matter is there simply isn't a household cleaner that will truly clean grout. There is however, a number of grout cleaning recipes posted on the internet. One posted by a TV celebrity known for his restoration of homes involves making a paste of water and baking soda and spreading it over all the grout lines then following that up with a spraying of a 50/50 mix of water and vinegar. When the foaming stops the scrubbing begins and then you mop up the mess with clean water.
There are other formulas but they all involve scrubbing the grout and mopping up the mess. Take a look at all the grout lines in your kitchen. Is this really how you want to clean your tile and grout?
