Tiles can be the focal point of your home’s design. However, tile and grout—whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or entryway—can quickly attract dirt and grime. When this happens, it might be time to call in the professionals for tile & grout cleaning. Wondering what signs indicate a need for professional cleaning? Keep reading to learn more.
- Stains and Discoloration: The truth is that tiles will eventually lose their glossy appearance. If your once-vibrant tiles have accumulated dirt and residue on the surface, they will look lifeless and dull. Additionally, if stubborn stains are still there long after cleanup efforts, your tiles will look worn. The good news is that our team can revive and refresh your tiles with our tile & grout cleaning services.
- Darkened Grout Lines: You might not know it, but compared to tile, grout is more prone to stains and dirt absorption due to its porous nature. So, if your tiles look worn, your grout lines are likely full of dirt and possibly even mold. If your grout lines look darker than usual and you’re not sure when your flooring last had tile & grout cleaning, give our team a call.
- Odd Odors: Odors emanating from your flooring are a potential issue you may not be aware of. Odors from spills, cooking, and moisture are particularly likely to seep into kitchen and bathroom tiles and grout. These unpleasant odors can persist even after frequent cleaning, especially if dirty grout is the source. Tile & grout cleaning can help your room smell fresher and get rid of these trapped odors.
- Rough Texture: Touch the tile with your hand. There’s probably accumulated dirt if it feels rough or grit filled. To the touch, clean tiles should feel smooth. Additionally, crumbling, or rough-textured grout may also be a sign of moisture and dirt-induced degradation, necessitating tile & grout cleaning as well as potential repairs.
