Cracked grout is ugly. It can make any room look older, dirty, and unkempt. Cracked grout sticks out like a sore thumb. There are a few reasons why grout may be cracking, so it’s best you get it inspected by a grout/tile professional to figure out why.

• Grout can crack when there’s too much water mixed into the grout, which create tiny pinholes. When the grout dries, these pinholes make it easier for cracks to form in the grout.
• Too much water in grout can make the grout weaker.
• Grout can crack due to thinset (glue) that is applied over the mortar during installation. If not enough glue was applied, the tile will pull away from the mortar and create air gaps under the tile. The mortar will break, the grout will crack, and tiles will break. If there wasn’t enough glue under the tiles, the tile will become loose. The loosened tile will compromise the grout, which will make it crack and crumble away.
• Grout can crack as the result of improper installation or a defect in the floor.
• If there isn’t enough space in the room, the walls can put pressure on the tiles, causing both the tiles and grout to crack. Tile should also have proper soft joints and expansion joints to keep movement from happening that causes grout cracking.

Some cracked grout can easily be replaced or covered with new grout, while other cracks may need new tile installation with the entire room re-grouted. Remember, if you don’t have expertise in tile or grout, call someone that does.

If your cracks are small and not compromising anything, you can mix Grout Shield’s grout color sealer with grout to fill in the cracks and update the grout color.

Pets are part of people’s lives. Besides homes, pets are being welcomed in more establishments, especially pets who help those with disabilities or support. Pets can easily drag dirt, fur, and germs wherever they go. Sometimes, pets even have an accident on the floor. Pets can easily dirty or wreck a floor.

If you need to restore a floor that has been dirtied by pets, you can do it on the cheap with quality grout cleaning and grout sealing products. With the right grout restoration products, you won’t even know a pet has walked through the room!

Normal cleaning products cannot easily remove dirt from grout. Dirt, spills, urine, and liquids can seep into porous grout lines. Grout Shield offers many products that remove dirt and liquids that have deeply penetrated the grout lines, including pet urine. If pet urine isn’t cleaned up immediately, it can seep deep into the grout lines, which means your home or business may smell bad even after you clean the floor. If your grout isn’t properly cleaned, you can also have lots of bacteria and other germs in the grout lines.

By using Grout Shield’s products, your grout lines will go from dark and grimy to bright and clean. Dirty grout isn’t just unsightly, it is also unsanitary. If dirt and urine stay in grout lines, bacteria will grow making it unhealthy for you and your loved ones to walk on.

Grout Shield Grout and Tile Cleaner will remove all dirt and stains from the grout. Use a mop to distribute the cleaner and allow the formula to saturate into the grout for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, scrub the area with a grout or bristle brush, followed by using a clean rag to wipe away any remaining cleaner.

Pet accidents happen. Pets drag in dirt. It’s life! The best way to keep your floor and grout looking great is to seal your grout.

Grout Shield’s Clear Sealer or Color Sealer protects the grout. The color sealer allows you to change the color of the grout to any color you want. The sealer will keep anything from absorbing into the grout.

If you are looking for an easy way to restore your grout and floors from a pet’s messes without spending a fortune, purchase Grout Shield grout cleaners and sealers. To learn more about or to purchase Grout Shield’s products, click our grout restoration products  page or call 1-800-631-0716.
