If you\u2019ve got tiles in your bathroom, you\u2019re likely guilty of ignoring your grout as it descends further and further into disrepair. After all, how much attention do we give to the space between the tiles? Wiping tiles down is easy enough, but the grout between them can be a pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Did you know that you can clean grout with nothing more than baking soda paste?<\/a> Most households have baking soda on hand, so there\u2019s no excuse!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grout cleaning is important for the health of everyone who uses the space. Read on to find out why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mold that grows between the tiles and grout in bathrooms can be hazardous, both to the people around it and to the tile cement itself. Some types of mold can be toxic and exacerbate allergies and even create respiratory problems where there were none previously. It might look harmless enough, but mold creates spores that become airborne at the drop of a hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These spores can\u2019t be seen without magnification unless the problem is severe, but severe or not, you can be certain of their presence. Breathing in these spores day in and day out begins to take a toll on our bodies. What appears as simple black stains which are easy enough to overlook, might be the cause behind certain ailments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With a little regular attention, it\u2019s easy enough to ensure mold growth doesn\u2019t spread. If you\u2019ve left things to get out of hand, professional tile cleaning<\/a> might be the way to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A little elbow grease can go a long way, but when it comes to tile vs grout, cleaning tile will always be a lot easier as it\u2019s not porous. It\u2019s due to this fact that people tend to neglect the grout between the tiles. Especially since at a glance, there\u2019s so little grout compared to the tile it almost seems not worth bothering with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the tiles themselves clean so easily with just a wipe, the thought of the extra work involved for the grout can be a real headache. If you don\u2019t have the correct tools to hand<\/a>, it\u2019s considerably worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A grout scraper and a little bleach are all that\u2019s necessary to put a serious dent in any discolored or moldy grout. Once you get around to it the process can be quite rewarding, and you might even wonder why you didn\u2019t get around to it sooner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n After spending some time doing some proper grout cleaning, you\u2019re sure to thank yourself. Nobody has ever regretted divesting their bathroom from unsightly grout mold. Knowing how to keep tile clean is half the battle, and once you\u2019ve got the knack, it becomes the work of five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nImportance of Grout and Tile Cleaning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
