Do you ever look at your grout and wonder ‘How on Earth did it get this dirty and gross’? You wouldn’t be the only one, and the follow-up is always a question of how to turn it back to shiny white. We’re here to tell you that it can be done, and it won’t require a cleaning service or expensive, specialist tools to do it. So, let’s learn all about how to clean tile and grout to keep them cleaner and whiter for longer.
STEP 1: Get rid of mould, mildew, and other build-up
The arch nemesis of bathrooms and damp areas: mould. It is vital to remove mould as soon as possible in your home, as it can quickly spread and become difficult to kill. A mould removal gel that kills mould at the root will prevent it from rearing its ugly head again in areas like bathrooms, kitchens and especially on tiles and grout. It’s important to note though that you should deal with the root cause of the mould before attempting to use a mould removal gel, ie. excess moisture, flood damage, etc. This will help ensure the mould doesn’t have a chance to return.
STEP 2: Give your tiles and grout a powerful clean
So, how to wash grout? To start, a drill scourer brush is perfect for removing excess dirt and grime that has built up in and on your grout and tiles. Simply wet the scourer pad, start the brush drill, and away you go! It will powerfully scrub and clean your grout and tiles, without having to use any elbow grease.
STEP 3: Protect your tiles and grout
Once the grout is washed and dirt has been removed, that’s when surface protection nanocoating comes into play. It’s actually really simple. Apply a tile and grout nanocoat formula directly to the surfaces, and the difference will astound you. Your grout and tiles will be protected from grime, dirt build-up, soap scum, mildew, and mould, and will remain pearly white for longer with the power of a hydrophobic nanocoat barrier.
When paired together, tile and grout nanocoat plus a quality mould removal gel will become the one-two punch that your grout needs to keep it whiter for longer, without breaking the budget (or your back) to get there.
