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

Step 2: Prepare the Cleaning Paste
Mix 3 parts baking soda with 1 part hydrogen peroxide. Then add a tablespoon of dishwashing liquid to form a paste. The 3 ingredients in this powerful paste clean grout in specific ways:

1. The baking soda acts as a mild abrasive.
2. The hydrogen peroxide creates a chemical reaction when combined with the baking soda, which releases bleaching oxygen ions.
3. The dishwashing liquid helps to dissolve grease and dirt so it can be removed more easily.

NOTE: This method may also cause damage to tiles due to the bleaching oxygen ions that are released. If possible, first test it out on a small patch that’s generally hidden from view.

Step 3: Apply the Paste with a Brush
Using a nylon bristled brush or gloved fingers, apply the paste to the grout. Ensure that all areas that you want to clean are properly coated with the paste so that you get an even result. 

Step 4: Daydream About How Beautiful Your Home Will Look
The paste needs at least 15 minutes to work its magic. Like the pervious method, you may see some bubbling happen as it does its thing. Give it a bit of time to ensure that the paste fully remove the stains in the grout. 

Step 5: Final Clean
Using warm water, mop up the the paste. Make sure you follow our recommendations in Step 6 of the previous method. If you’re doing a large area, you may want to start by using a moist cloth to clean up the bulk of the paste and then mop the area. Ensure that no residue if left behind, otherwise the soap could be slippery and the bleaching may effect the tiles if left for a long period of time.

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.
