So earlier this week we were called out to do some ceramic tile grout cleaning in Lillington Warwickshire. The client approached us asking us to come give her a quote due to her grout lines looking really dirty from years of food, oils and grease. The original colour of the grout was grey but they were black due to years of dirt being trapped within them and in desperate need she needed our help to bring them back to new again, of course little did she know but we was about to do the most thorough clean she’s ever seen!
When we arrived at the property our first approach was to protect all the units from any excess splashing from the high alkaline product we would be using. Then we pre sprayed the high alkaline onto the grout lines and left this for about twenty minutes, normally on any other stone we would spray the tile too but in this case it’s ceramic so it has a constant layer of protection as this is not a natural stone this is a man made tile and the way that this tile was manufactured allows it to have a constant repel against any dirt. So after we allowed the product to work, we then scrubbed the grout lines by hand using a grout brush. After we did this, we then brought our rotary machine in and used a long bristle scrubbing brush to go over the tiles and grout for an extra clean, ensuring we get the best we possibly can on the floor! So when we was happy with the thorough scrub we had done on the floor we then rinsed the floor using a high pressure extraction machine which injects water at 1400 psi and vacuums the soiled water at the same time. The rinsing we were doing on the floor also removes any dirt that the grout brush couldn’t get too using the high pressure to blast the pores on the grout lines. This was left to dry for a few of days but normally we could do it on the same day depending on how the floor has been laid.
Ceramic Floor Sealing In Lillington:
After we returned a few days later, we tested the floor with our moisture meter the make sure the grout lines were dry and ready to seal. Most floors that we seal use an impregnated sealer that covers the tiny pores in the grout, as we said above the tile itself does not need sealing due to its coating that’s put on when manufactured so the tile has a constant seal on it making it very easy to maintain. We then poured the sealant into small bottles we use that’s designed for sealing grout lines with special nozzles on the end of them! We flooded the grout lines with sealant to make sure the grout has been sealed properly normally this is equivalent to about 2/3 coats.
