Commercial Grout Line Cleaning and Care<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Although dirty and darkened grout lines is inevitable, they shouldn\u2019t appear too soon. By implementing the proper commercial tile floor and grout cleaning practices, you can get a fresher, lighter looking grout finish that stands the test of time. It all starts with proper tile floor cleaning. Then you must incorporate some protective measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But be warned: on a commercial-scale, cleaning your own grout lines can be a massive undertaking if you are not well-staffed and properly equipped. Consider hiring a professional floor cleaning or commercial facility maintenance service<\/a> for faster turn around times. This will allow you to keep your focus on your company and place your efforts towards improving your business\u2019s overall success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Clean Dirty Grout Lines:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use oxygen bleach, or a 1:4 chlorine bleach solution to clean your tile floors. Mix 1 part bleach with 3 to 4 parts water, depending on how dirty your grout lines are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the solution sit on your tile floor for 20 minutes, then scrub each grout line with a small scrub brush. Then rinse clean with water and allow your floors to dry completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercial Floor Sealing for Grout Protection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sealing is the perfect method of protecting tile grout from both dirt and damage. To detect whether or not your grout needs resealed, watch how water soaks into them. If water absorbs quickly in grout, it is time for a resealing job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase a commercial grout sealing product on the market, but it is strongly encouraged to have this type of service performed by a trained professional who has the proper equipment and skill. Minor mistakes can lead to tile replacement needs or even dirtier looking grout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from cleaning and sealing, incorporating a shoes-free interior also helps, as does routine sweeping and mopping using quality products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commercial Tile Floor Replacement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Damaged grout should not be treated, cleaning nor sealing. Instead, damaged grout and tile should be replaced for best results that last. Hire an Indianapolis commercial flooring contractor<\/a> for professional advice and cost estimates for commercial tile floors and alternatives that might serve your overall business objectives and bottom line better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
