Searching for a grout sealing company in San Diego?
Or maybe you didn’t even know you needed a grout sealing company!
Sealing grout is one of those tasks that many never realize the importance of until they experience stained or damaged grout. So, whether you came here in search of a grout sealing company in San Diego CA, or you are researching why grout sealing is important, the answers to both are here!
What is the purpose of grout sealing after cleaning?
Imagine you hire The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro to clean your grout, and you are amazed at how great it looks. Now imagine if we did not apply a protective layer of grout sealant to your clean grout. Within a short amount of time, you will begin to notice areas of staining once more, which do not wipe away when you clean. Therein lies the first purpose of grout sealing. To create a barrier between the pores of your grout and the world all around. It is necessary because dirt particles, soap scum, and even skin cells will start to gather on the surface. Over time, these contaminants will go beneath the surface. Therefore, your regular cleaning will not produce a truly clean appearance. That’s why The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro’s grout cleaning service is always followed with sealing – to keep your results looking great!
Add to that, grout sealing in showers and bathtub surrounds protects your grout from moisture. While we recommend wiping your wet tile down after each use, we understand that not everyone takes the time to do it. Grout sealer will help keep moisture from penetrating your grout. Once that barrier is broken, over-moisture will begin to erode your grout, and can even be the cause for mold taking hold.
How often do you need to have your grout sealed?
Professional grout cleaning and sealing is not something you must have done often. In standard households, high-traffic areas should be cleaned and sealed every year, or two years max. If your home is extremely busy with one shower shared between many residents, you will find that you need cleaning and sealing at least every year. If you are a commercial building owner, you might find that your public areas require cleaning and sealing twice yearly. For instance, gym showers, restaurant bathrooms and dining areas will need to be deep-cleaned and sealed much more often than most homes.
Grout care and repair services are investments in your tile.
Grout cleaning and sealing are examples of the idiom, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” If hiring The Grout Medic to professionally clean and seal your grout seems exorbitant, we implore you to reconsider. Even though some grout is rated for 25 years, it very seldom lasts that long. Tile is not an inexpensive venture in itself. When grout becomes damaged, your expensive tile is in danger of potentially irreparable damage. Even if that damage can be repaired, why gamble that expense if you do not have to?
