Cooking can get messy, especially when making a lot of food at once. A pot can boil over. Food can spit out of a pan. You could drop or spill something. Messes in the kitchen are inevitable. There are many different types of food spills, but we wanted to focus on grease. Grease can be easy to wipe off tiles, but the grease can be hard to clean off grout because it quickly absorbs into the grout lines.

Since grout is porous and usually light-colored, it will easily absorb the dark color of grease and become discolored. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, you can clean up the grease and it will look like the stain was never there. Remember, you want to clean up grease immediately, so it is easier to clean up.

Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of grease stains in grout for good. A grease stain in your grout can make your kitchen or grout look old and dirty and smelly, 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.

Most home-cleaning products and articles may tell you to clean up the stains with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. These chemicals and products may work and get rid of the stain, 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 grease stains, you want to first blot the area dry with a clean cloth. Wipe the area clean of the grease. You may notice your grout is stained or darkened now. To remove the grease stain, 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 grease stain 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.

When we clean our homes, we think about dusting, mopping the floor, vacuuming, washing dishes, etc. However, if we don’t clean grout, our rooms can still look dirty. Dirty grout doesn’t just look bad; it also isn’t very sanitary.

Grout easily collects moisture, dirt, crumbs, bacteria, and basically absorbs anything Lots of things could possibly touch your grout: shoes, pets, urine, food, water, poisonous chemicals, makeup, and more.

Grout is porous. Since it’s collecting all this dirt, liquids, and water, it becomes a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Even if you mop and scrub your floors and walls meticulously, bacteria can still thrive in the grout, because it’s been so deeply absorbed.

A proper grout cleaner and sealer are the best solutions to getting rid of unsanitary and unsightly grout. You don’t want to be walking on all those germs, or having children touching tiles and putting that bacteria into their mouth. Dirt within the grout can be very difficult to clean and keep clean, but with the right grout cleaner and sealer, this process becomes a lot easier. You will spend less time cleaning the grout to restore it to a “like new” appearance.

This is how you can clean and protect your grout the right way. First, sweep the floor to remove any loose dirt or debris on the surface of the tiles and grout. Next, apply  Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner. Use a mop to distribute the cleaner over the entire floor. Allow the grout cleaner to saturate into the grout for 10 to 15 minutes, th,en scrub the area with a grout or bristle brush. After you scrub the dirt away with a few brushstrokes, use a clean rag to wipe away any remaining grout cleaner.
