How to Fix a Chipped Tile with Grout Shield’s Grout Products

Oh no, there’s a chip on a tile in the kitchen floor! What can you do? Don’t worry! You don’t necessarily have to re-tile the floor and spend a lot of money. Believe it or not, there’s a lot you can do with Grout Shield’s grout products.

As long as you just have a chip in the tile, you can color it to make it almost disappear. So, how do you fix this exactly? You use Grout Shield’s grout color seal, and choose a color that is closest to the color of your tile. Grout Shield offers 2-ounce bottles in any color that you like.

How do you fix the chip with the color seal? Take the color seal bottle and squeeze the product onto the chip. Then, take your finger and spread it back and forth inside the chip, which is how you fill in the chip. Then, take your Grout Shield chamois or towel and wipe off the excess. Then, apply more color seal to fill in the chip even more. The chip will begin to look less noticeably than it did before, especially if you choose a color that is an exact match. As the color seal dries, it will match the tile even more. read more

A dirty restaurant floor is not good for business. In fact, it can turn away customers and even make you fail a health inspection. A deep clean once-in-a-blue moon isn’t enough to keep your floors looking great.

How to Clean Commercial Bathrooms with the Right Grout Products

Whether it’s a restaurant, park, hotel, office, or bar, a commercial bathroom gets dirty. When entering a public bathroom, it can be baffling to wonder how they got so dirty in the first place. Well, likely, these bathrooms are not being cleaned with the right cleaners. Sure, soap and a mop can wipe up spills and other messes, but they aren’t necessarily lifting up deep stains or discolorations, which can keep tile and grout looking dirty even if you just cleaned it.

Dirty bathrooms can be a problem, especially if customers or workers start to complain. You don’t want people to report your establishment or stop visiting/working with you because of your bathrooms’ dirty appearance.

The main reason your bathroom floors look filthy is the grout. Grout becomes discolored. It can even smell since it is holding on to all bacteria and other germs. Even if your staff or cleaning crew cleans the floor daily, dirty grout can keep the floor looking dirty. If you neglect the grout lines, your bathroom’s appearance will look unclean. read more
