Things To Do In SW Florida

If you’re eating an Asian-inspired dinner or just enjoy soy sauces and Worcestershire condiments for flavor on your meals, you run the risk of staining your backsplashes and tile floors with the dark coloring. Splashes and spills happen, and dark-condiment sauces stain fast and easily. They can also be difficult to remove from household surfaces.

If you happened to spill a dark sauce onto your grout lines, don’t fret! Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of that stain for good. You’ll never know it was there!

In most homes, grout is white or a lighter color, which means it can easily show dark stains. Since it is porous, grout will absorb all the soy sauces and dark sauces it encounters. Dark condiment sauces stain easily and grout can be difficult to clean, so this is a bad combination. However, with the right grout cleaning and sealing products, it will look like the soy sauce stain or splashes never happened.

Most DIY cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the soy sauce with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. Sure, these home mixes may work, but they also aren’t really cleaning the grout (For example: ammonia contains no cleaning agents), and many of these chemicals can actually cause the grout to crack or break. read more

Accidents happen, including bathroom accidents. Whether it’s a cat, dog, or child, there’s a chance at some point in your home a baby or animal will urinate on your floors.

Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid urine stains for good. You’ll never know it was there! Besides getting rid of the discoloration, Grout Shield products also rid the grout of bacteria and other harmful germs.

Remember, you want to clean urine stains immediately since urine can grow bacteria, making your floor unsanitary.

Most home-cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the urine with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar.

Cracked grout is ugly. It can make any room look older, dirty, and unkempt. Cracked grout sticks out like a sore thumb. There are a few reasons why grout may be cracking, so it’s best you get it inspected by a grout/tile professional to figure out why.

• Grout can crack when there’s too much water mixed into the grout, which create tiny pinholes. When the grout dries, these pinholes make it easier for cracks to form in the grout.
• Too much water in grout can make the grout weaker.
• Grout can crack due to thinset (glue) that is applied over the mortar during installation. If not enough glue was applied, the tile will pull away from the mortar and create air gaps under the tile. The mortar will break, the grout will crack, and tiles will break. If there wasn’t enough glue under the tiles, the tile will become loose. The loosened tile will compromise the grout, which will make it crack and crumble away.
• Grout can crack as the result of improper installation or a defect in the floor.
• If there isn’t enough space in the room, the walls can put pressure on the tiles, causing both the tiles and grout to crack. Tile should also have proper soft joints and expansion joints to keep movement from happening that causes grout cracking.

 

Some cracked grout can easily be replaced or covered with new grout, while other cracks may need new tile installation with the entire room re-grouted. Remember, if you don’t have expertise in tile or grout, call someone that does.

If your cracks are small and not compromising anything, you can mix Grout Shield’s grout color sealer with grout to fill in the cracks and update the grout color.
