Accidents happen. Spills, dirt, pet’s relieving themselves, mold – you name it, your tile and grout lines are up against a lot of gross things. Since grout absorbs everything it comes in contact with, it will stain easily. So, what can you do if, for example, you spilled soy sauce or red wine into your white grout lines?

Grout is porous. If it isn’t sealed, it will absorb everything it touches. Water, soy sauce, spaghetti sauce, red wine, juice, mud, urine, mold, and more.

Found a new place to live? Congratulations! Whether you’re moving into an apartment, house, or condo, starting fresh in a new place is exciting; however, a new place for you was an old place for someone else (if it wasn’t newly built, of course). When a home was owned by a previous owner, there’s a good chance their cleaning may not have been up to par with your own standards. Or, the homeowners or renters just didn’t have the proper…
