Caring for grout and tile is often a misunderstood process.  Much because of the long list of harsh tile and grout cleaning products that are sold in stores everywhere.  Could your common grout cleaning rituals actually be harming your grout?

The Grout Medic of San Diego is your source for grout and tile care.  We can clean, repair, and rejuvenate tiled surfaces throughout your home, to help you undo some of the harm you have unknowingly caused your grout.  So, what can be harmful about your everyday grout cleaning routine?

Professional San Diego grout cleaning is a step in the right direction.

The Grout Medic’s safe San Diego grout cleaning procedures do not involve any grout-harming chemicals.  Household cleaners that are mass-produced and sold in stores nationwide, often contain chemicals that can do damage to your grout.  Many of those cleaners will include ingredients, such as bleach, ammonia, or even hydrogen peroxide, a weak acid.  When these chemicals are applied to your grout and tile, they can strip the color or leave a filmy layer atop your grout and tile.  We buy these because they are marketed to be “the strongest” or “the best” but in all actuality, they are too strong for regular tile and grout cleaning procedures around your home.

Your San Diego grout cleaning should not involve harsh scrubbing.

Scouring pads and brushes are sold for household cleaning chores with the same promises that chemical cleaners make.  They tout their toughness, durability, and scouring power.  When it comes to scrubbing your beautiful tiled surfaces, less is more.  Not only should you use a pH-balanced cleaning solution, but you should also not use scrubbing tools for your regular tile and grout cleaning procedures.  Each time you scrub your tiled area, you are working to loosen your grout mixture, which will eventually begin to crack and erode.  In addition, scouring tools will work surface dirt into the pores of your grout, making your grout lines look dull or stained.  Not to worry, The Grout Medic of San Diego Metro can help!

How do you effectively clean your tile and grout without harsh chemicals and scouring tools?

Call on The Grout Medic for our professional San Diego grout cleaning service to rejuvenate your tiled surfaces and make your cleaning ritual easier.  Our safe but powerful grout cleaning system uses tap water vapor to loosen and remove dirt from deep within your grout and off the surface of your tile.  After we clean your tiled area, we will seal your grout lines, which will help you keep them cleaner between professional cleaning appointments.  Grout sealer will provide a protective layer that not only keeps dirt from seeping into your grout’s pores, but it will make your grout easier to clean as well.  No harsh chemicals and no scouring tools required!
