Regularly sweeping or vacuuming to remove debris, along with weekly mopping using a pH-neutral cleaner, is effective for maintaining tile and grout. Avoid using bleach or ammonia-based cleaners as they can discolor the grout and damage the tile.
It is generally recommended to have tile and grout professionally cleaned once every 12 to 18 months to prevent buildup of dirt and grime and to maintain its appearance.
Different types of tiles (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone) require different cleaning approaches. Professionals can assess and apply the most appropriate cleaning methods for your specific tile type.
Sealing grout after cleaning is highly recommended as it helps prevent moisture and dirt from penetrating the grout lines and makes future cleaning easier.
Damaged or cracked grout should be repaired or replaced to prevent further damage and deterioration. This can often be done during a professional cleaning service.
Typically, it takes about 30 minutes to an hour for tile and grout to dry fully after professional cleaning. However, this can vary based on air circulation and humidity levels.
