When your tiled surfaces begin to look years older than they actually are, there are a variety of reasons for this. For example, do you sweep, vacuum, and mop your tile floors? If you only sweep your tile flooring and then mop it, you’re most likely missing the more granular-sized objects that will end up getting pushed into your grout. There’s a very simple reason for this – grout is extremely porous by nature, especially if it’s not properly sealed. Once dirt, grime, and dust end up embedded in your grout, it’s going to cause your entire tiled surface to suffer in appearance. While you may only think of your grout as a bonding mechanism, that’s far from the case. The type and color of your grout are directly related to the appearance of your tiled surfaces. So, if your tiled surfaces are looking old and dirty, call The Grout Medic of Northern Virginia. We specialize in bringing your Fairfax tile and grout back to life – usually in just one day! You can reach us anytime by calling us for a free consultation at 703-634-4646.
Another thing to point out is that you should always avoid cleaning your grout and tile with caustic chemicals. This specifically applies to ammonia-based and bleach-based cleaning solutions. These solutions will nearly always cause severe discoloration to your grout. If you accidentally coat your grout in these types of cleaners, you’ll at minimum require a grout color staining application to change the color, as more often than not the discoloration caused by these cleaning solutions is unsightly. Grout color sealing is another great service we offer, as it will protect your tile from becoming embedded with discoloring agents, but will also dramatically alter the entire appearance of both your grout and your tile. We’ll show you the different color options and allow you to decide which one works best for your specific tile. You would be absolutely amazed at how different your tiled surfaces will look once the grout color seal is applied.
We are both licensed and insured tile contractors in the state of Virginia, so you’ll have peace of mind in knowing that we’ll do the job correctly and if, while highly unlikely, should anything go awry, we have you covered.
