How To Clean Grout With Bleach
If all else fails then you could always try good old fashioned bleach. While it’s super effective at cleaning grout, there’s a good chance that it may damage certain tiles. We usually advise only using this method on white tiles, like the ones you may find in your bathroom (and particularly when the grout it white too).

If you’re going to clean grout with bleach, it’s a good idea to test it out on a small patch that is generally out of sight so you can check for colourfastness. It’s also a good idea to use gloves and wear old clothes as you may end up getting some bleach on them if you’re not careful. 

Step 1: Prepare the Area
Using the same method described above, prepare the area for deep cleaning.

Step 2: Apply the Bleach
Pour or spray the bleach onto the grout lines, making sure that you apply enough to fully cover all of the grout. Just do one section at a time to avoid getting bleach on your clothes and ruining them. Allow the bleach a few minutes to soak in and then get to work. 

Step 3: Brush the Bleach into the Grout
Using a nylon bristled brush, work the bleach into the grout. Scrub back and forth along the grout lines. Make sure you get the corners where dirt is most likely to accumulate. 

Step 4: Apply More Bleach Where Necessary
For tough to clean spots, apply more bleach or dip the scrubbing brush into a glass of bleach and scrub again. More bleach = more cleaning power. 

Step 5: Rinse the Floor
Using warm water, wipe or mop up the the bleach. Make sure that you do this thoroughly as any bleach left over will get into your socks and could get transferred into your carpets, which would be a disaster!

Extend The Life Of Your Floors
Beautiful tile floors are expensive. Just as you protect other investments in your home and your vehicle, you should also take the same interest in being proactive with your tile floors so that you can prolong its life and clean look. When you seal the grout, it extends the longevity of the tile. It will also keep them, look showroom new. The last thing you want is to have your beautiful and expensive tile floors ruined with stains and scratches. Unsightly grout can be very difficult to clean. It will also fail and wear down a lot quicker than sealed grout.

Grout Info
Grout Is Made From Porous Materials. Cement is the material used to make the type of grout used for tile flooring. Cement is a porous material that can easily absorb liquids. This means that grout is susceptible to stains, mold, and bacteria. The grout can be ruined even when the tile is impenetrable. Colored liquids can quickly stain unsealed grout even if you wipe the spill up immediately. Oil and pet accidents can also penetrate the grout and cause stains. In fact, you may be left with odors emitting from the floor that you are unable to get rid of without replacing all of the stained grout. In simpler terms, unsealed grout is nothing more than a sponge that is ready to absorb any liquids that fall on the floor.

Mold Growth
Mold will not grow on the tile, but the same cannot be said for the grout. As previously explained, grout is porous so it can become a prime breeding ground for mold once it becomes wet. When the grout is exposed to moisture, it absorbs the water. Over time, this can cause the grout to become pitted. This is not apparent to an untrained eye, but a grout cleaning company will be able to notice it immediately. This is why you should seal your grout. Contact us today to get your grout sealed professionally. If there is moisture, mold spores can also sprout and flourish in the grout. Once this occurs, it will be nearly impossible to get rid of the mold without tearing out the grout. However, sealing the grout is an effective and preventative measure to keep mold from making a home on your flooring.
