Suppose you have sealed your tile and grout after installation. In that case, you should only use professional tile and grout cleaners once every few years. After installation, you will quickly find out if your tile and grout are unsealed, as any food or drink spilled onto the floor will soak into the tile and grout, potentially staining it permanently.

Not all tiles require sealing, however in any event, for those tiles that don’t need sealing, you can and ought to consistently seal the grout lines.
Grout sealing keeps spills from infiltrating into the porous grout. Our impregnating penetrating water-based grout sealer repulses water and oil-based fluids, forestalls stains brought about by food and refreshments, and shields the grout from earth and debasements for as long as 10 years.
In the wake of cleaning your grout, it is prescribed to apply an impregnating water-based sealer explicitly intended for grout that makes protection from spills and stains. A sealer is a liquid or carrier containing a resin that is applied to porous natural stone or porous man-made surfaces that helps prevent staining from water and/or oil-based materials and helps to achieve better results when cleaning your tiles.

Why get a professional to take care of your Grout Cleaning.
All porous natural and man-made tiles should be sealed. Sealing your surfaces will help prevent & reduce staining by keeping most stains suspended at the surface. Sealing protects against chemical attack, deterioration, and contamination and also reduces the damage caused by the stain itself. For non-porous tiles, you should usually only need to seal the grout lines with our specialized impregnating penetrating sealer.
Sealing your tiles and/or grout helps prevent & reduce staining by providing a barrier against stain-carrying substances. Sealing is the first important step towards protecting your investment against stains.

Grout is a mixture of sand and cement, which we call porous. As a result, if you don’t seal your grout lines, they will absorb water, bacteria, and stains. Adding a grout sealer protects your grout so it’s water-resistant and will repel moisture and germs. Sealing the grout helps prolong your grout’s look, texture, and consistency, and prevents mildew and mould. Your grout will look better and last longer too.
Unless you have an epoxy grout, a rigid, water-resistant material that doesn’t require a sealer, it’s not right for all types of tiles. It is used mostly in shower glass and other non-porous tiles.
It would be best if you did not seal your grout as soon as you install it. We recommend waiting until 48 to 72 hours before applying sealer on it. Grout must dry entirely and should not be chipped or cracked before applying the sealer. For more information, call our experts to help you with a better grout sealing process.
Why does my grout look dirty all the time?
Grout is porous, which means that it very quickly absorbs moisture, oils, soaps, and detergents, plus food and drink spillages; this changes the appearance of grout, which either becomes darker with dirt or it tends to fade. Grout on floors will often look darker and/or dirtier than when the foundation was laid, sometimes marked with stains from spilled food and beverages. The grout around wall tiles usually fades, and in the worst cases, they will become orange/yellow due to body fats and detergents or black with mould.
Dirty tiles and grout don’t look great and are unhygienic. Dirt collects in the grout lines along with traces of food matter and bacteria. Once again, mop and bucket cleaning can often make things worse because it is done with very regular water changes. The initial wash is followed with a robust rinse to the remover cleaning solution; the wash effectively just moves the dirt around until it finally settles in the lowest point, i.e., the grout lines. It also adds to the dirty appearance by leaving a layer of detergent on the tiles.
Once discoloured, there are few ways of resolving the grout issue other than replacing the tiles or chasing out the grout and replacing it, which is expensive, time-consuming, disruptive, and dirty. Removing grout is difficult to do without damaging the tiles.
