- WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT RESTORING CERAMIC TILE GROUT!
Grout is a porous material, and even under the best conditions it will become soiled and stained. VIP Grout and Tile Concepts will eliminate this problem by “color sealing” your grout. Our grout sealer not only guarantees that you will have beautifully consistent colored grout but it will resist stains from food, drinks and dirt.
Our grout cleaning and color sealing process restores your soiled grout lines to a beautiful “like new” appearance. They can protect new and old installations alike. In the long run this process saves you time, money and effort of scrubbing your tile grout on your hands and knees.
1. Can you match my existing color of my grout?
Yes, VIP has numerous color sealers for all sanded and un-sanded types of grout. You can have any color you wish. Even under the best conditions, even new grout has different shades. We simply match the color you desire to insure a consistent shade of grout color. Our color sealer absorbs into the pores of your grout for a long lasting/uniform finish.
2. What is the dry time?
You can walk on it in 10 to 12 minutes, however it takes 48 hours to fully cure. Keep sealed areas dry for 48 hours to ensure best results.
3. How often do you have to clean the grout once restored?
Experts agree, you should clean your floor once a week using a PH Neutral/Soap-Less cleaner like VIP Grout and Tile Cleaner. When cleaning the floor it’s important to change your mop water when it appears dirty. Always use a mop to agitate cleaning agent on grout surface. Dry grout with towel or terry cloth. Should any area have dried up surface stains, simply spot clean with straight VIP Grout and Tile Cleaner.
4. How often do you have to reseal the grout after first application?
Depending on conditions, with proper maintenance, a floor can last indefinitely.
5. How much does it cost to have my grout cleaned and color sealed?
Pricing is a function of total square feet, size and type of tile. We will come to your home and give you a free written estimate.
6. I’m curious, why did my grout become so soiled in the first place…it’s only a few years old?
Rarely do tile installers seal grout. Why? Because new grout needs to cure for several days before it can be sealed. Meantime, dirty mop water finds its way into the grout pores. Also do-it-yourself store bought products are often silicone based and tend to break down after a short period of time. This is usually due to harsh cleaners and how the grout is maintained, thus leaving the grout unprotected and susceptible to dirt and grime build up.
