Grout
Maintenance
After the
Grout Perfect
Process is completed
maintain the floor in
the following manner:
 Always
vacuum your entire tile
floor thoroughly to
remove all the loose
dirt and dust before wet
cleaning outlined in the
following paragraphs.
Neutral or mild cleaners
are all that is
necessary to effectively
clean tile and now that
your grout has
been sealed with Grout
Perfect ColorSeal the
same is true. We
recommend buying an
inexpensive concentrated
window cleaner, dilute
1/2 cup with about 1
gallon of warm water or
as directed on the
label.
 Apply
cleaner to floor
generously with a mop,
allow to stand on floor
3 to 4 minutes (no
scrubbing), this will
allow cleaner to
emulsify and loosen any
dirt and oils on your
floor.
 Take
a common Swiffer-type
mop covered with a clean
dry terry cloth towel
rather than the cloths
that may actually come
with the mop and dry the
floor changing the terry
cloth towel often.
Please keep in
mind dirt does not
evaporate!
The final
step is to dry the grout
lines with the Swiffer-type
mop and a clean dry
terry cloth towel.
Liquids settle in the
grout lines because they
are slightly lower. To
prevent the now dirty
cleaner that you are
drying off your tile
from drying in the grout
lines and leaving a
dirty residue on the
Grout Perfect ColorSeal
the final step must be
to dry the grout line to
complete the floor
cleaning process. This
will keep your floor
looking as it did when
our Grout Perfect
Technicians
completed the process to
your floor.
As time
passes should your grout
begin looking dirty with
uneven color in high
traffic area try this
easy test. First, pour a
small amount of
undiluted
Grout Perfect
Maintenance Cleaner or
an undiluted window
cleaner on 2 or 3 inches
of a grout line in that
high traffic area.
Second, allow the
cleaner to stand on that
grout line for 3 to 4
minutes (do NOT scrub or
agitate). And finally,
with a clean cloth or
even a paper towel wipe
up the cleaner. You will
see dirt on the cloth or
towel and the grout line
will be clean again.
This is a maintenance
issue that can be
corrected by cleaning
the floor as described
in the above paragraphs
1. through 4. using a
slightly stronger
dilution of the cleaner.
