Things To Do In SW Florida

Does your outdoor pool look drab? Does it look too dirty to swim in even if the water is clean? Likely, the tile and grout in your pool are dirty from years of dirt and other elements. Outdoor pools are exposed to the elements from sun and sunscreen to dirt, leaves, bugs, skin and food. Pools get dirty fast, especially their grout lines if not sealed.

The grout lines in pool get dirty as the grout you find in a bathroom or kitchen inside a home or business. On pool grout, algae, mold, dirt, and stains can form from moisture and liquids that have collected from rainwater, pool water, and other outdoor elements.

When not properly cared for, a pool’s grout lines can go from bright beautiful colors to dingy, dull lines. Even if you “clean” the area, it can look like you’ve never cleaned if you aren’t using the proper grout cleaner and grout sealer.

Does your kitchen look like it’s out of the 1970’s? Need a change? A kitchen renovation is expensive. It can easily go over $10,000 if you have a decent to big-sized kitchen. Most people can’t come up with these funds and if they can, it usually isn’t in a timely manner. You could take out a loan, but a lot of people don’t want to deal with paying money back for months and years to come. So, what can you do?

You can do your own home kitchen renovation. From paint to vinyl peel-and-stick sheets, you can completely redo your kitchen in a true DIY on the cheap. Now, if you have a tile floor or backsplash that is dirty or darkened, don’t cover it up! It can be restored!

Your tile floor or backsplash likely looks dirty and old because of dirty grout. Grout is porous and it absorbs everything it touches if not sealed. You also cannot clean grout properly without the right grout cleaner. Many household cleaners are not strong enough to lift deep stains from grout. Many of these home cleaners are actually harsh on the grout and can cause it to crack and break over time. read more

A bathroom is a great place to relax, get refreshed, and clean. Unfortunately, bathrooms are full of moisture and are prone to mold and mildew. Years of moisture combined with dirt, soap scum, and other bacteria can leave your tiles and grout lines looking dirty and discolored. Many regular household cleaners cannot get out mold and mildew and leave your bathroom looking stained and dirty, even if it’s not.

To properly clean your bathroom grout and tiles, you need a grout and tile cleaner. Many bathrooms contain ammonia and bleach, which will damage tiles and grout over time. The bathroom is consistently exposed to dirt and water, so it’s hard to clean mold and mildew immediately; however, Grout Shield’s grout cleaners and sealers make it possible to maintain clean and beautiful bathroom grout and tile all year long.

With Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, you are able to safely lift deep stains and clean areas without compromising the stone or grout. To use the grout cleaner: Use a mop to distribute the cleaner over the entire floor. Allow the grout cleaner to saturate into the grout for about 10 to 15 minutes, then scrub the area with a grout or bristle brush. After scrubbing the dirt away with a few brushstrokes, use a clean rag to wipe away any remaining grout cleaner. Then, use Grout Shield’s Enhancer Seal to protect the grout and tile from future dirt and stains. The sealer will make the tiles look vibrant and new; it’s also extremely easy to use. The sealer brightens and restores surfaces back to its original condition. read more

Food spills are bound to happen in the kitchen. Ketchup, mustard, and BBQ sauce can easily stain grout. From hot dogs and burgers to chicken and fries, there’s a lot of food we cook in our homes that we use condiments for. Whether we are squeezing a bottle or dipping a fry, there’s a chance something will drip or spill onto grout lines.

In most homes, grout is white or a lighter color, which means it can easily stain from condiments, which come in all sorts of colors. Since it is porous, grout will absorb condiments easily. Condiments can stain easily and grout can be difficult to clean, so this is a bad combination. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, it will look like the food spill never happened.

Most DIY cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the condiments with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. These chemicals may work, but they also aren’t really cleaning the grout, and many of these chemicals can cause the grout to crack or break.

To remove the condiment stains, you want to first blot the area dry with a clean cloth. Wipe the area clean. You may notice your grout is stained a brownish/reddish/yellowish tint now from the condiments. To remove the food stains, you will want to use Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, which cleans and lifts deep and hard-to-clean stains out of the grout’s pores. read more
