Caring for Your Shower Grout

Your shower gets used and abused! Think about it. Your shower gets used daily, and if you have a family you could have anywhere from 3 to 12 showers a day! That’s well over 1,000 times a year. That’s a lot of usage!

Over time, the tile and grout lines get dirty. A combination of soap, dirty, mold, and mildew will accumulate on both the tile and the grout. The grout, being porous, will absorb all these elements and become discolored.

If you are unsure of how to clean your grout, don’t rely on the search engines online to give you proper cleaning methods. Regular soaps and water will “clean” your tile, but they won’t make your grout look cleaner. Vinegar and ammonia will potentially ruin your tile. With these products, you’ll spend hours scrubbing with little success.

If you routinely clean your shower with a proper tile and grout cleaner, you’ll get to avoid costly repairs or renovations. Most products out there contain harsh chemicals that may look like they’re cleaning your tile and grout but they’re actually wearing down your tile’s shine and your grout’s repellency. Once a grout’s seal is gone, it will absorb anything it comes in contact with. It will be full of water, soap, debris, dirt, mold, mildew, and more! So not only is it dirty, it’s full of germs, as well! It can even start to smell!

If your grout is “permanently” stained, you don’t have to retile and re-grout your bathroom, but rather, use Grout Shield grout products, which are specifically formulated to clean grout.
