Mopping is the primary problem. Yes, mopping and cleaning should be done regularly but the cleaning has to be done properly. The biggest mistake is using too much floor cleaner with no rinse. Believe it or not, too much floor detergent causes a build up that actually makes your floors look dirtier.
Rinse your floor! Every second or third cleaning, you should clean your floors with pure water. Avoid vinegar because vinegar can break down any sealants that may be applied grout or floor.
What about your dirty grout?
Those little lines between your tile can be difficult, if not near impossible to mop thoroughly. The grout lines dip down below the tile, which causes your mop to never come in contact with the grout.
Using a brush to clean in the grout lines may be required for severe soil build up. However, brushing each grout line can be VERY time consuming. One alternative is using a floor machine that’s designed to brush the tile and extract the dirty water. This can be more beneficial then mopping.
How to Keep Your Tile and Grout Sparkling Clean
The best preventative measure to help your grout clean up easily is to have a professional grout sealer applied. This is something that “should” be done immediately after installation, however most tile installers don’t do it for you. The lack of grout sealer and improper grout sealer is a big reason why grout gets so dirty.
