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? Or, if your children trekked mud in after a rainy day?

Your first plan of attack is to clean your grout with a proper grout cleaner. Most regular household cleaners are not formulated to get tough grout stains out. Also, most regular cleaners are too harsh and will actually breakdown your grout. You want to use Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner, which cleans and lifts deep stains out of the grout’s pores. To use this product, you mix 1 ounce of the cleaner with 8 ounces of warm water. Then, brush the cleaner into the grout with a brush applicator. Let the mixture sit into the grout lines for a few minutes. After the cleaner sits, wipe away the cleaner with a sponge and towel dry the floor. The discoloration will be gone.

Now, if the stain is stubborn and still isn’t 100% gone or it’s an extremely old stain that won’t fully go away, you can make the color look like new again with Grout Shield’s color sealer. You just squeeze the sealer into the grout lines, like mustard on a hot dog. Then, you spread it into the grout lines with a brush applicator and wipe away the excess with a towel or chamois.

Once the color sealer is applied, it will look new again. Not only is the color bright and clean, but the sealer will protect the grout from future stains. Liquids will bead right off!  Even if you don’t have to recolor your grout, you should seal it to protect it from future stains. Grout Shield also offers clear grout sealer.

Check out the video below to see how easy it is to use and apply Grout Shield’s Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner and the color sealer.

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. If you’ve tried to clean your grout before, you probably spent hours scrubbing with no progress. Most cleaners out there cannot lift stains from grout, or they are too harsh and will destroy the grout.

You need quality grout cleaners and sealers to never get stains on your grout lines again.

Grout Shield sells a grout Maintenance Cleaner and a Grout & Tile Deep Cleaner – both products are great at lifting stains and dirt from the pores in the grout. The grout & tile deep cleaner is great if you have really tough or old stains or haven’t cleaned your grout in a while. The maintenance cleaner is good for throughout the year and for touch ups. The grout and tile cleaner when applied to tile and grout will remove any excess dirt or grease from grout surface as well as any previous applied grout sealers allowing our product to bond to the grout. The maintenance cleaner cleans the tile and grout to help keep your grout lines looking renewed and clean. To use, you just damp a mop and towel dry to always keep your floor looking brand new.

Now once you get the stains off, you need to protect your Grout with a seal. Grout Shield offers color grout sealer and clear grout sealer. The color sealer should be used if want to change the color of your grout lines, or if you need to fix a discoloration. The clear seal is a great choice if your grout is clean and you don’t want to change the color of your grout, only protect it. The sealer creates a barrier and liquids and dirt won’t penetrate the grout.

Check out the video below to see how the clean tile and grout stays clean after getting a dark cause rubbed all over it. This tile is protected with Grout Shield grout sealers.
