So earlier this week we were called out to do some ceramic tile grout cleaning in Offchurch. The client approached us asking us to come give her a quote due to her grout lines looking really unhealthy and dirty from years of food being dropped and having muddy dogs running through the kitchen all the time. The original colour of the grout was grey but they were black by the time we were called in and in desperate need she needed our professional help to bring them back to new again, of course little did she know but we was about to thoroughly clean her floor better than she expected leaving her with “wow” results!
Our first approach was to protect all the units to stop the kitchen units from getting messy. Then we pre sprayed a high alkaline product onto the grout lines and left this for about 20 minutes (The longer you leave the product the better the results), normally 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 and grime. So after we allowed the product to work, we then scrubbed the grout lines by hand using a grout brush designed for this type of job. After we did this, we then brought our rotary machine in and used a scrubbing pad to go over the tiles, 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 had to rinse the floor using a high pressure extraction machine which shoots 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 on the pores of the grout lines. This was left to dry for a couple of days (All depending on how the tile is laid we could seal it on the same day but in this case it wasn’t dry enough too).
Ceramic Hard Floor Sealing In Offchurch:
After we returned a couple days later we tested the floor with our moisture meter the make sure the grout lines were as dry as they can be and ready to seal. We then proceeded to get the sealant ready and as most floors we use a impregnated sealer that covers the tiny pores in the grout, as we said above the tile itself will 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! We then flooded the grout lines with sealant to make sure the grout has been sealed properly normally this is equivalent to about 2/3 coats.
