Pet accidents happen. Whether it’s a cat, dog, or guinea pig, there’s a chance at some point in your home an animal will go to the bathroom on your floors. It could be urine or feces, and both are not easy to get out of grout.

If you see a pet accident, you need to clean the mess right away. Not only can urine or feces stain your grout, it can smell extremely foul. These accidents also can hold a lot of harmful bacteria that you don’t want to spread in your home or to settle in your grout.

Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of pet accident stains for good. You’ll never know it was there! Besides getting rid of the discoloration, Grout Shield products also rid the grout of bacteria and other harmful germs found in these accidents.

In most homes, grout is white or a lighter color, which means it can easily show urine of feces. Since it is porous, grout will absorb anything that lands on it. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, it will look like the bathroom accident didn’t happen. Remember, you want to clean bathroom stains immediately so the floor isn’t unsanitary.

Most home-cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the accident with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. Sure, these home mixes and chemicals may work, but they also aren’t really cleaning the grout (For example: ammonia contains no cleaning agents), and many of these chemicals can cause the grout to crack or break.

To remove the urine or feces, you want to wipe the areas up and blot the area dry with a clean cloth. Wipe the area clean of the urine and/or pick up the feces. You may notice your grout is stained a darker tint now and smells. To remove the urine and/or feces, you will want to use Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, which cleans and lifts deep and hard-to-clean stains out of the grout’s pores.

To use this cleaner, mix 1 ounce of the cleaner with 8 ounces of warm water. Then, brush the cleaner into the grout with a brush applicator. Let the mixture sit into the grout lines for a few minutes. Then, wipe away the cleaner with a sponge and towel dry the floor. The discoloration will be gone.

Now, if the stain still won’t go away, you can make the grout color look like new again with Grout Shield’s color sealer. You just squeeze the sealer into the grout lines. Then, spread it into the grout lines with a brush applicator or your finger and wipe away the excess with a towel or chamois. You can choose any color in the world to recolor your grout. Check out our grout colors.

If you don’t need to recolor your grout, you should seal it with clear grout sealer , after cleaning it, it to protect it from future pet accidents. Next time a bathroom accident occurs, the sealer will prevent the urine or feces from seeping into the grout lines.

Does your bathroom look dated? Or, does it look like you shouldn’t even use it? Need a change? A bathroom renovation is expensive. It can easily go over $10,000 if you have a decent to big-sized bathroom, especially if you’re changing tile and plumbing. Most people can’t come up with these funds and if they can, it usually isn’t in a timely manner. You could take out a loan, but a lot of people don’t want to deal with paying money back for months and years to come. So, what can you do?

You can do your own home bathroom renovation. From paint to a new shower curtain, you can completely redo your bathroom in a true DIY on the cheap. Now, if you have a tile floor or shower that is dirty or darkened, don’t cover it up! It can be restored!

Your tile floor or shower likely looks dirty and old because of dirty grout. Grout is porous and it absorbs everything it touches if not sealed. Years of soap, dirt, mold, and mildew have likely gotten into your grout lines. You also cannot clean grout properly without the right grout cleaner. Many household cleaners are not strong enough to lift deep stains from grout. Many of these home cleaners are actually harsh on the grout and can cause it to crack and break over time.

Here are some Grout Shield products that can help you renovate your bathroom:

The Grout Shield Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner cleans and lifts deep stains out of the grout’s pores. If your grout hasn’t been properly cleaned in a while, use this product!  To use this product, mix 1 ounce of the cleaner with 8 ounces of warm water. Then, brush the cleaner into the grout. Leave the mixture to sit into the grout lines for a few minutes. Lastly, wipe away the cleaner with a sponge.

Grout Shield Color Sealer – This product isn’t just a grout sealer, it allows you to match or change the color of the existing kitchen grout without having to remove any of the grout. You can also mix it in with grout to re-grout your tile if needed. This will change the color of the grout, seal, and protect it. With this product, we can match any color possible.

Grout Shield’s Clear Seal – This sealer works just like the color sealer, except it is clear and doesn’t change the color of your grout. This is good to use if you like the color of your grout and it’s bright and new-looking.

Grout Shield Restoration Kit and Packages – A kit or package is the best way to fully restore a kitchen floor or backsplash. Grout Shield offers seven different package kits to help restore the look of grout. Each kit’s contents vary depending of the size of the job that needs to be done. The kits offer everything you need for a full restoration: cleaner, sealant, colors, chamois, brushes, and instructions.

A clean and bright floor or shower can make all the difference in a bathroom. Your room will look new and brighter! Like you retiled the room!

You don’t have to retile or re-grout your bathroom to do a renovation. A new grout color might even be enough to make your bathroom appear brand new! Don’t tear up the grout and tile. A restoration is possible with Grout Shield products. Remember, after using the grout cleaner, use the grout sealer to protect your grout from future stains and mold and mildew growth.

To save money, many of us dye our hair at home. Whether it’s blonde, brown, red, black, or even purple, the colors we choose are dark and bright, which means they can easily show up on tile and grout. Accidents happen and we can easily spill or splatter hair dye while dying our hair in the bathroom or kitchen. Hair dye can be hard to clean off grout because the liquid quickly absorbs into the grout lines. It actually can be hard to get off tiles, as well.

Since grout is porous and usually light-colored, it will easily absorb the bright hair dye and become discolored. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, you can clean up the hair dye and it will look like the spill never happened. Remember, you want to clean up hair dye immediately, so the stain is easier to clean up.

Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of hair dye stains for good. You’ll never know it was there! Hair dye stains on your counter, backsplash, or floor can make your kitchen or bathroom look really old and dirty, even if you clean it regularly.

Besides getting rid of the discoloration, Grout Shield products also rid the grout of bacteria and other harmful germs that get absorbed into the grout lines over time.

Many home-cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the hair dye with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. Sure, these chemicals and products may work, but they also aren’t really cleaning the grout, and many of these chemicals can actually cause the grout to crack or break.

To remove the hair dye stains, you want to first blot the area dry with a clean cloth. Wipe the area clean of the dye. You may notice your grout is stained with a color now. To remove the dye, you will want to use Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, which cleans and lifts deep and hard-to-clean stains out of the grout’s pores.

Now, if the dye still won’t fully disappear, you can make the grout color look like new again with Grout Shield’s color sealer. You just squeeze the sealer into the grout lines. Then, spread it into the grout lines with a brush applicator or your finger and wipe away the excess with a towel or chamois. You can choose any color in the world to recolor your grout. Check out our grout colors.

If you don’t need to recolor your grout, you should seal it with a clear grout sealer after cleaning it, to protect it from future spills and accidents.
