"Grout Like New is the best way to get longer life out of your tile and grout. They were able to clean our white bathroom floor grout, which was more of a brown color because it was so dirty, and made it a clean white again! They also cleaned up my DIY grout work on my kitchen backsplash to make the tiles shiny and clean. I highly recommend Grout like New!"

Countertops and Backsplashes questions, answered by experts
The length of time between repainting depends on the type of products you use. But if you maintain your painted countertops, they can last a couple of years before you will need to repaint them. Remember sealing your countertops is vital for protecting the surface and will make them last longer.
Concrete countertops are made food-grade through their sealant and the continued use of a food-grade cleaner. For that reason, it is important not to use acidic cleaners or bleach. Read the ingredients on any cleaner and avoid products with vinegar, acid, or anything else that could eat away at the concrete's sealant.
The average countertop square footage in a kitchen is 30 square feet, but that number varies widely depending on the size of the kitchen. Some smaller kitchens may only have one stretch of countertop or an L-shape. Larger kitchens can include an island or peninsula and more expansive countertops. When deciding what works best for your home, measure your kitchen countertop and make sure to include countertop cost calculations in your budget.
When deciding whether quartz or granite is better for your countertops, consider your budget, lifestyle, and aesthetic preference. Many people prefer quartz because it comes in more aesthetic varieties and is nonporous, making it easier to clean, more bacteria-resistant, and lower maintenance. However, granite is sometimes preferable because it is more heat-resistant and less expensive.
You should never use gritty or abrasive cleaners to clean your Formica countertops, and the same goes for scouring sponges, steel wool, or anything acid-based like vinegar. Formica can't handle high heat, so never place anything fresh from the oven or off the stovetop on a laminate surface because it will scorch.
