Why Is It That We Can Clean Your Tile and Grout But You Can’t?

Cleaning tile and grout might seem like a straightforward task, but if you have ever tried to clean it yourself, you know it can be really time-consuming and physically demanding. Maybe you also have learned that over-the-counter cleaning products simply don’t work. Let’s talk about the most common problems.

The Struggle of DIY Cleaning

If you have ever tried to clean your tile and grout yourself, you probably have spent hours, if not a whole day, scrubbing, only to end up with sore knees and mediocre results. And maybe you have noticed that using stronger cleaners and scrubbing harder doesn’t help much either.

Let’s Talk About the Real Dirt on Store-Bought Cleaners

Store-bought cleaners. You know the ones — the ones that promise sparkling tiles and spotless grout with minimal effort — often fall short. Why? Because most of these products aren’t powerful enough to break down the tough grime and stains that build up in your grout lines over time. They might make the surface of your tiles look nice and clean if they are smooth, but they can’t get deep into the pores of the grout or the texture of your tiles.

The Miracle Mop Myth

Now, let’s discuss mopping. It’s a go-to cleaning method for many of us, but when it comes to tile and grout, it’s not very effective. In fact, mopping can often make things worse. Instead of removing dirt, mopping tends to push it around, smearing it over the surface of your tiles and into the grout lines. The result? A floor that looks better, but in fact, the dissolved grease and dirt only get deeper into the grout and texture of your tiles.

The Temperature Trouble

Another big issue is water temperature. The typical homeowner does not know that the temperature of the water plays a big role in the results. Some people may use tap hot water, but caked-up grease mixed with dirt, dust, and sand needs higher temperatures to break down properly. Without super-hot water, and I mean 200 degrees hot, you will not be able to completely dissolve it and remove it.
