Spills happen. Unfortunately, many drinks that spill are colors that can easily stain floors and grout. Grape juice. Fruit punch. Kool-Aid. Orange juice. Juice can be easy to wipe off tiles, but the juice can be hard to clean off grout because the liquid quickly absorbs into the grout lines.
Since grout is porous and usually light-colored, it will easily absorb the brightly-colored juice and become discolored. With the right grout cleaning and sealing products, you can clean up the juice and it will look like the spill never happened. Remember, you want to juice spills immediately, so the stain is easier to clean up.
Our team at Grout Shield can help you get rid of juice stains for good. You’ll never know it was there! Juice stains ae inevitable, especially if you have children, so you no longer have to worry about a stain occurring. Juice stains on your floor can make your kitchen look really old and dirty, even if you clean it regularly.
Besides getting rid of the discoloration, Grout Shield products also rid the grout of bacteria and other harmful germs that get absorbed into the grout lines over time.
Most home-cleaning articles may tell you to clean up the juice stains with bleach, ammonia or white vinegar. Sure, these chemicals and products may work, but they also aren’t really cleaning the grout, and many of these chemicals can actually cause the grout to crack or break.
