When you install a fresh white grout or clean tiles then, in the beginning, it will look very beautiful and stunning. However, in due course of time, the grout will become discoloured and mouldy too.
Though you may do regular cleaning or mopping, you can never maintain the same amount of shine and cleanliness.
Therefore, in this small write up, we have provided a few methods of tile and grout cleaning in Perth that is quite popular too.
- Homemade cleaning solutions
There are few cleaning solutions that are natural and homemade like baking soda and vinegar that can be used for routine cleaning the tiles and grout.
Also, a combination of baking soda with hydrogen peroxide can be applied to grout, and then washed by using soap can remove minor discoloration. These homemade methods are not too invasive, so you may need a more intense cleaning method.
- Chemical cleaning compounds
The number of solutions based on commercial chemicals is available in the market which also claims to do deep cleaning of grout and help in returning it to the original colour.
Though they can be effective occasionally but often end up in damaging the tiles and their surfaces in the bathroom and kitchen.
- Bleach
In order to get moulds and heavy-duty stains bleaching is often used which also includes chlorine bleach, oxygen bleach and also undiluted hydrogen peroxide.
Though strong bleaches can be effective, but often they will weaken and destroy your grout quickly, and cause your grout to crack.
- Scrubbing
Many people prefer to use the scrubbing method as it is a totally chemical-free method to remove mould and stains but in fact, while scrubbing lots of your grout will be wearing out on the uppermost layers that can eventually weaken the grout if this method is applied on a regular basis.
- Professional Cleaning and scrubbing grout
Finally, many cleaning companies have adopted professional grout and tile cleaning method which is considered to be a golden standard method for keeping your grouts and tiles in perfectly clean and white conditions.
This method uses a combination of gentle, but quite effective steam cleaning with targeted cleaning solutions so that it can help make the grout and tiles to shine again without any damage to the surface.
