Most toilet bowl stains aren’t permanent. They can be extremely stubborn, but the right cleaner typically clears them up and makes your porcelain throne look as good as new. The best way to clean toilet stains is to determine what’s causing them and use the most appropriate solution. If you’re unsure what type of stain you’re facing, a professional cleaner can help.

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.

Cleaning your bathtub once per week should be plenty. Keeping up a weekly cleaning schedule will prevent mold or mildew issues, and any cleaning you do will be less labor-intensive. If you can’t find the time to clean your bathtub, you could consider hiring a local residential cleaning service.

You should plan to reseal the grout in your shower every one or two years, depending on how often your household uses the shower. Resealing shower grout costs around $200, but it will help extend the lifetime of your shower and freshen it up without having to go through the entire process of regrouting your tile shower. If you have a custom shower enclosure with grout between tiles on the floor, that grout should be resealed more often due to increased wear—once every six months might be necessary.
