It’s hard to find a floor type that is so durable and simple to maintain as tile floor. But, there are some things you can do to make your floor look the ideal way possible, like with any other well used surface.

One easy step home owners often over look is the process of sealing the grout. There are many people that think grout used on glazed tiles does not require to be sealed, but that is a wrong asumption. There are a lot of installers that’ll claim how grout does not need to be sealed, but you will clean your tiles much easier if you do this. It makes possible for water and all stains to be repelled and stay away from very porous grout. This easy process also goes a long way for homeowners who are preparing their home for sale. Sparkling grout lines are a great way to make an impression and make it last.

There are few simple steps you need to take with grout sealer.

You can startsealing after 30 days if you have a new floor that needs your attention.

Apply neutral PH cleaner to clean the grout before youbegin sealing it. Joints should not be full of water so you should have a damp mop in your hands to prevent this. The grout will be in bad condition if you use vinegar or bleach to clean it, so you should never use them at all. Be prepared to use the brush along the grout lines to remove the dirt and stains, especially if you are dealing with old tile floor. Use clean water to rinse the surface and dry the tiles with a cloth.

Sometimes the grout on existing floors is badly stained and even cleaning doesn’t help. Using grout stain pen helps a lot in these situations. Pick a color that’s closest to the grout color and then you can run it all the way through the grout line. Since it has sealer inside, it will do two tasks at the same time.

And this is the last top for today, don’t mix the sealants. Since the results are much betterif you use the same brand again, wesuggest that you re-apply the same thing you used before.
