People nowadays invest their time, effort, and money in remodeling their homes and making them a long-lasting sanctuaries. Homeowners would do anything just to enhance the aesthetic value of their homes. And tiles are an amazing flooring option that adds beauty and elegance. However, it takes a lot of time and energy to clean tiles and grout and can be frustrating at times. Tile and grout require care for them to last for a long time. Fortunately, professional tile and grout cleaners are now available to help clean, restore, and protect tile and grout surfaces to help them stay in a good shape for a longer time.

Tile and Grout Issues

As time goes on, these tiles become dark and dirty which decreases the overall appearance of your property. Grout is the lining between the tiles, which is responsible for diminishing the look of your flooring. Take a look at some issues with tiles and grout: 

• LOOSE, DRUMMY FLOOR TILES

Drummy or hollow tiles are generally an installation issue. ‘Drummy’ is used to explain the hollow, drum-like sound released when a surface such as concrete, tiles, cement render, etc. is struck by a sounding tool. It means the tile adhesive does not have a good bond between the tiles and the wall or floor, or there are gaps where the adhesive is missing under the tiles. 

• STAINED, DIRTY TILES

Stains, spots, and dirty tiles occur in many different scenarios. When tiles are porous, they usually stain. Textured tiles often retain dirt particles on the tiles’ surfaces.

• WHITE STAINED TILES

Because water penetrates underneath stone or tiles, the minerals in the water crystallize, which results in a white residue appearing on the surface of the tiles. Using the wrong products on tiles and grout can be expensive and damaging.

• MILKY, CLOUDY SURFACE

If tiles have a cloudy appearance, it means that the wrong cleaning product for that type of tile has been used. Serious cases would be the presence of a milky appearance on tiles which is the result of the incorrect sealer being applied to tiles, or a sealer has been applied to non-porous tiles. Using the wrong products can cause serious, permanent damage to tiles and grout.

• STAINED, DIRTY FLOOR GROUT

Because all grout is porous, and stains instantly and often permanently, dirty and stained grout is often caused by the cleaning process.  As the grout joints sit lower than the tiles, dirt, and other contaminants are pushed into the grout joints during the process of scrubbing or mopping tiles. 

• MOLD GROWTH

Shower and bathroom mold growth is probably the most bothersome and frustrating tile-related problem. Wet and high-humidity areas with poor ventilation provide the perfect breeding ground for mold. Oils from the body and soap residue also create a food source for mold.

• HAIRLINE CRACKS IN TILES

Small cracks can sometimes appear on the glazed surface of tiles and are considered an inherent property of ceramic tiles. Grout removal can cause fine cracks in surfaces.
