Grout Tile Cleaners questions, answered by experts

Caulk and grout are two different materials with different purposes and should not be used interchangeably. Grout is used to fill the gaps between tiles; it hardens to keep them sturdy and in place on walls or floors. Caulk, on the other hand, is a flexible, waterproof material used to seal corners, cracks, and edges, such as where a tub meets tile or around windows for weatherproofing. Caulk can also be used to temporarily repair damaged grout.

You should clean your grout at least once a year, if not twice. Cleaning your grout regularly will help keep your tiled rooms looking their best. Plus, proper maintenance helps your tiling last as long as possible while keeping any mold or mildew at bay.

Neglecting grout maintenance can lead to damage to your tiles including cracks. That, in turn, can cause water damage or other issues that can require a costly tile replacement.

Slate floors don’t need much maintenance, but they should be sealed once per year. Otherwise, they can absorb liquids and moisture, which may weaken them and lead to stains. It’s also best to sweep slate floors daily, mop with a pH-neutral floor cleaner weekly, clean up any spills as quickly as possible, and use rugs or mats in high-traffic areas.

The cost for professional floor cleaning is $250 on average. This cost can range from $100 to $1,500, depending on the type of flooring and its square footage. 

For example, natural stone flooring requires specialized techniques and care, so you'll spend closer to the higher end of the cost range. The cost of cleaning tile and grout is more cost-effective, where you'll pay an average of $0.50 to $3.50 per square foot.

Grout lasts about eight to 20 years, depending on the type of grout and where it’s installed. Grout in high-moisture areas, like showers, may have a shorter life span. When grout reaches the end of its life span, it may look discolored or have missing pieces. Old grout can also cause some tiles to loosen, which is a sure sign that it’s time to regrout.
