If are considering a whole-area retiling project, you might be asking yourself this question.

Is it cheaper to regrout than to retile? It is less expensive to regrout your tiled surface than to retile it all. But at The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro, we know that our clients are not simply searching for an inexpensive solution. They are looking for the grout or tile service that offers the most value. Regrouting is an ample solution for saving money, as well as time. Retiling any area in your home will take more of your time – perhaps leaving your room unusable for days or even weeks.

San Diego Regrouting That Lasts

When you hire us to regrout your tile, you will know that your new grout will be applied to a surface that has been freed of old grout material, and any resulting dust or debris left by the removal process. Your tile edges will be clean, so the new grout mixture adheres as it should.

Can I still choose regrouting if I have loose or damage tiles?

San Diego Grout Cleaning Aftercare

After your professional grout cleaning servcie by The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro, the ball will be in your court. You will be starting with a clean slate, and these steps will help keep your tiled surface in great shape until we perform your next service.

Clean your tile and grout regularly.

This might seem obvious, but The Grout Medic would like to expound upon the subjective terminology in this statement. What does “regularly” mean? It is different for every home or business, and even for different areas of your home or business. It is obvious that a seldom used guest shower will not require a weekly cleaning. Those areas can be cared for after each infrequent use. For other areas…

1. We recommend wiping your shower down each day with a dry cloth. This will eliminate some of the water that usually is left to evaporate from the surface of your grout and tile. This two or three-minute procedure will help allay build-up of mildew on the surface of your shower and help keep your grout sealer intact.
2. Clean your shower once or twice weekly with a pH-balanced cleaning solution and a damp cloth. Both the daily drying routine and the grout sealer will make your cleaning routine quicker and easier – no scrubbing, no harsh chemicals required.
3. Sweep or vacuum your floor tiles once or twice weekly to keep dirt particles from scratching your tile or being forced into the surface of your grout. High-traffic floors or homes with pets might require a daily sweeping ritual.
4. Sanitize your tiled floor once or twice weekly with a steam mop or clean with a damp sponge mop and pH-balanced cleaner. We do not recommend dousing your floors with a water and cleaning solution mixture, as with traditional mopping. The same rule applies as the sweeping recommendation above. Busy homes and businesses might require more frequent gentle cleanings.

When to Schedule Your San Diego Grout Cleaning

This too, is subjective, and will be based on each client’s needs. If you have more than two people sharing a shower in your home, you might find that staining and build-up occur within six months or a year. You might experience the same for high-traffic floors. If you have tiled countertops in a busy kitchen, six months might be the maximum amount of time you get between professional grout and tile cleaning appointments. The key for each home or business, is to note when your grout begins to stain, and no longer cleans easily. That is when it’s time to call The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro to schedule your consultation and service.
