Cleaning Kitchen Tile and Grout isn't as Easy as it Sounds
If it's time to clean the tile and grout in your Boca Raton kitchen you may want to review your options. Tile is a very popular material and growing in popularity in Florida homes. It wears well, is attractive and can stand up to most types of dirt and spills. Unfortunately, tile needs grout to hold it in place and that material can be an exceptional challenge to clean.
In kitchens tile and grout are most commonly used for flooring, countertops and backsplashes. All of these areas are subject to spills and the floors get more foot traffic than any other flooring in the house. Tile is an exceptionally durable flooring material but grout is soft and porous making it a perfect trap for dirt, grease, crumbs and liquid spills.
Take a look at your kitchen tile. If it appears to be dingy odds are that appearance is mostly because of discolored and stained grout. Cleaning tile is easy, cleaning grout is another story.
Do It Yourself Kitchen Tile and Grout Cleaning
There really isn't a consumer cleaning product that can effectively clean grout that doesn't have a heavy dose of bleach in it. When you use bleach you need good ventilation and latex gloves. You also run the risk of washing out any color you have in the tile and grout.
Online there are all sorts of do it yourself recipes for cleaning solutions most of which involve a mixture of baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice and hydrogen peroxide. The one item that is included in every technique is a stiff bristled brush. Doing it yourself means scrubbing…lots of scrubbing.
There's a Better Way Boca Raton
Rather than face hours of scrubbing, homeowners in Boca Raton can call a professional kitchen tile and grout cleaning service like Gold Star Cleaning to make short work of the chore. A professionally trained technician can examine your tile and grout, select the appropriate "green" cleaning solution and then apply steam and vacuum power from a truck mounted system and have all your tile looking like new.
