Get matched with top grout and tile cleaning pros in Prentice, WI

If you prefer not to use a commercial cleaning product on your pink mold issue, or on other types of mold you are seeing in your bathroom, there are some natural mold killer products that you can use. You can try substances that you may already have in your home, like vinegar, tea tree oil, hydrogen peroxide, lemon juice, and baking soda.

While it’s still best to install waterproofing materials behind the tiles, you can still add better water protection to your shower without any demo work. Start by softening and removing old grout and installing new grout, then seal the grout and caulk the shower to help seal any gaps and prevent leaks.

If left untreated, the smell of pet urine may not go away on its own. This is because urine is a surfactant that can penetrate fabric and upholstery, even some porous concrete. Plus, urine attracts bacteria, which can worsen the smell. When dealing with urine on your couch, treat it immediately or pay for the cost of a house cleaner. Most pros charge between $30 and $50 per hour.

Unlike sanded grout, unsanded grout doesn’t always require sealing. But it’s a good idea to seal it anyway—especially in moist or humid areas (like bathrooms) or high-traffic spots—to protect it from dirt, mold, stains, and damage. On average, hiring a pro to seal grout costs between $150 and $250 for a 160-square-foot space.
