Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners, such as vinegar or bleach, as they can erode grout and damage tile finishes over time. Use pH-neutral products designed for tile and grout cleaning to ensure longevity and safety.

Professional cleaning utilizes industrial-grade equipment and formulated cleansers that penetrate deeper into fabrics, removing stubborn dirt without risking damage that DIY approaches might, such as surface abrasion from improper tools.

For grout on your floors, you can keep it clean by mopping and sweeping regularly, placing floor mats or rugs in high-traffic areas (or areas more prone to spills, like the kitchen), and removing your shoes before coming into the house. For grout on wall tile, make sure you’re cleaning regularly with baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, or a store-bought cleaner. Consider sealing your grout, too.

New grout applied over old grout typically doesn’t last as long as grout applied to a clean, prepared surface. If you run into problems like your new grout not adhering well to the old grout, you may see your new grout chipping or cracking within just a few months. For the best longevity, it’s recommended to remove old grout before applying new grout.
