How to Remove Coffee Stains from Grout
We’ve all spilled a cup of coffee. Or maybe, the coffee pot overflowed. Whatever the reason, our “cup of Joe” has landed on the counter or floor. Unfortunately, coffee is dark and can stain anything it comes in contact with easily like clothing, fabrics, and even grout lines.
Coffee is brown-colored, which means it shows up easily on grout lines that are light colored. Since it is porous, grout will absorb all coffee that lands on it. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, you can clean up the coffee and it will look like the coffee spill never happened. Remember, you want to clean coffee stains immediately, so the stain is easier to clean up.
Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of coffee 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 that get absorbed into the grout lines.
Most home-cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the coffee stains with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. Sure, these chemicals and products 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.
