Best grout and tile cleaning pros near Langdon, ND

Professional cleaning is recommended every 12-18 months, depending on the level of foot traffic and exposure to moisture in the area. More frequent cleaning may be necessary for high-use spaces like kitchens and bathrooms.

Your floor sees a lot of action: foot traffic bringing in dirt from outside, pets with muddy paws, kids dropping food crumbs, and more. All of this makes your floors dirty, and if you don’t keep up with cleaning them, staying on top of the dirt will become more challenging.

The best method for keeping your grout clean depends on the level of staining or discoloration. For light cleaning, use warm water and a stiff brush (specifically made for cleaning grout). 

Tougher jobs call for a one-to-one solution of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the area down, wait 5 to 10 minutes, then scrub with your brush. For even more cleaning power, add water to baking soda until it creates a paste and apply it before the vinegar. If the mess is too much, you can call a local tile and grout cleaner.

You can test whether your grout needs to be sealed with a water droplet test. If water beads up on the grout’s surface, it’s likely been sealed (or might not need to be). On the other hand, if the water gets absorbed or causes the grout to darken, then it’s time for a fresh grout sealing.
