Highly Recommend

excellent job cleaning and sealing the ceramic tiles on our main floor. My husband and I were both amazed at the difference. We considered trying to clean the grout ourselves because we thought the cost was a bit high to hire some. But after seeing the the amount of work involved, we felt we were getting a bargain! It only took a few hours to do the entire job whereas it would have taken us weeks and it would not have come out as nice. I found that was a pleasure to deal with. He was honest, prompt and courteous. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

I highly recommend . He is the nicest person to deal with and he saved me thousands of dollars because I was about to change the floor. The floor looks brand new and my shower looks fabulous. It was so grungy before. He is a magician and I highly recommend him.

Grout Clinic cleaned and re-grouted 5 bathrooms in my century home. The bathrooms are over 20 years old and they look new. It's incredible. The owner is so professional and courteous and such a hard worker. It was a pleasure to have him in my home.
Tile and grout areas are the breeding grounds for bacteria .
There is a potential for MRSA ( Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) eliminating the germs,toxins, and bacteria that can cause infection can be done by thorough cleaning.
Sealing the grout
Home owners might decide to seal floor grout in their home. The process offers them benefits such as:
Cleaner home. A home where the grout has been sealed is inherently cleaner than a home where the grout has not been sealed because the exposed pores in the grout can make it more susceptible to allowing mold and mildew to develop. Sealing floor grout covers the pores making the grout impermeable.
Spending less time cleaning grout. Tile floor where the grout has been sealed are easier to clean than floors where the grout has not been sealed because the sealant prevents spills from seeping into the grout.
Simplifying the process of cleaning grout. Sealing floor grout also makes it much easier to clean the grout. The process is simplified because there is no need to spend a great deal of time scrubbing each individual grout line when cleaning the floor because the grout is less susceptible to stains.
When is Grout Sealing Necessary?
If you reading this article you are probably already wondering if sealing floor grout is necessary in your home. In general grout sealing is not necessary when the floor was grouted with epoxy grout and when grout admix was used when grouting the floor. That is because both epoxy grout and grout admix create a nonporous surface when they are applied. The purpose of sealing the grout is to eliminate pores so therefore grout sealing is not necessary in these cases.
Now that we have explained the exceptions to when sealing floor grout is necessary, you might still wonder whether or not it is needed in your home. If you are unaware of the type of grout that was used, you can determine whether or not it is necessary for you to seal the grout by placing a few drops of water on the grout. If the water soaks into the grout, this indicates your grout is porous and is in need of a sealant application.
