Things To Do In SW Florida

It’s almost spring! You know what that means? It’s spring cleaning time! Time to donate unused clothing, throw away clutter, and clean your tile and grout! After a cold, wet, snowy winter, your floors have taken a beating. Salt, water, snow, dirt, sand, mud, and more have been trekked through your house – all these dirty substances can make your tile and grout look dull and grimy.

Your grout has likely absorbed all the dirt that landed on it, which means your grout lines are likely discolored. Grout can be difficult to clean when you don’t have the appropriate grout cleaner. Bleach, vinegars, and other chemicals will have you scrubbing the grout lines for hours with little to no improvement. In fact, these harsh chemicals can break the grout lines.

This spring-cleaning season, you need a grout cleaner that cleans deep to remove dirt and debris. Grout Shield’s grout cleaners thoroughly clean grout. The Grout Shield Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner is perfect after winter time as it works to clean and lift deep stains out of the grout’s pores. To use, you mix 1 ounce of the cleaner with 8 ounces of warm water. Then, you brush the cleaner into the grout. Leave the mixture to sit into the grout lines for a few minutes. Then, wipe away the cleaner with a sponge. Just like that, your grout lines will be clean! read more

Dirty grout isn’t just a problem for homeowners… it’s also a problem for business owners. Parks, restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, banks, and more, all have grout. Businesses and public areas are at a higher risk of getting dirtier grout because of the foot traffic. These places have dirty shoes, spills, wheels, and much more walking and gliding over the grout and tile. Water, snow, food, dirt – you name it, it can fall on the floor!

Being a public place, it’s even more essential to keep grout and tile clean. Grout is porous and be a breeding ground for bacteria and other pathogens. These public places need to pass health inspections in order to stay open. If a health inspector sees a dirty floor with dark-stained grout, he or she will assume the floor is filthy and loaded with germs that could make people sick. Businesses owners need to be concerned about the cleanliness of their grout and tiles if they want to keep their business open.

Believe it or not, the public doesn’t just care about the product or service…they care about the setting. If a restaurant or store is dirty, a person may think twice about making a purchase in there. It is critical to keep your business clean in order to keep customers. read more
