Importance of Sealing Grout After Cleaning

Your tile flooring looks dirtier than it has to. That’s because the grout in between the tiles soaks up all the dirt and stains tracked into the kitchen due to its porosity. The grout is thus harder to keep clean because it’s not just about the surface dirt like with the tiles themselves. The grout’s discoloration gets deeply embedded, meaning it takes a lot more work to remove it.

This is why it’s important to seal grout after tile cleaning in Michigan. Regular tile and grout cleaning:

Prevents Discoloration

Surface discoloration on your grout ruins the look of an otherwise beautiful floor. Professional grout cleaning should ideally be done once a year, depending on the material and the amount of foot traffic that room gets. Kitchens and entryways will need to be done more than other, out-of-the-way areas. After cleaning is performed by an expert, a deep-penetrating grout sealant will be applied so your floors can repel liquids and dirt. This forms an invisible shield that safeguards the grout from water and stains.

Makes it Easier to Maintain

Who wants to be bothered by the hassle of cleaning their tile floors frequently? No one. Save yourself time, money and energy by using a grout sealer so you can lessen the amount of time you spend maintaining the floor. And if any stains do get onto the grout’s surface, you can easily mop or wipe them away with a sponge or cloth coupled with a pH-balanced cleaning solution. So put away that old toothbrush and get up off your knees. Seal the grout and you never have to use elbow grease again.  

Prevents Damage

Because grout sealing repels water, dirt, and contaminants, grout erosion can be prevented over time. Unsealed grout can easily be damaged because it’s left unprotected, and it is harder to clean. Because it’s harder to clean, you may be tempted to put even more work into scrubbing at that grout using harsh cleaning solutions. However, the pressure and harsh cleaners will cause your grout to crumble and weaken. Preventing large-scale damage from water penetration or impacts can be mitigated by hiring a professional grout cleaning and sealing company in Michigan.

It’s easy to avoid premature grout and tile failure throughout your home, from the bathroom to the hallway to the kitchen.

Excellent results and my rugs were dirty! Very experienced,, knowledgeable and helpful owners/cleaners!! Could not be happier!
Response from the owner: Thanks for the review
I have used 1st Class for both a commercial building and our home. Both experiences were great! I thought our carpet at home was past the point of no return, but they did an amazing job. Pet stains and heavy traffic areas look so great. They are super responsive and timely. A great local small business! I would highly recommend.
Response from the owner: We appreciate the review
Great company, great owners. They always do a thorough carpet cleaning.
Excellent service. They really know there stuff when it comes to cleaning carpet and couches. Friendly staff. Very reasonable prices. Thank you.
Ginny and Claude came on short notice. They did a great job.
I could not be happier with our cleaning service from 1st Class! From my first call, Ginny worked with me to optimize the timing of our cleaning with other work being done, and all communication from there was clear and thorough. Claude and Ginny are genuinely nice people and were a pleasure to work with during the cleaning. They clearly know their stuff and stand behind their work. Results were my formerly bedraggled 9 year old carpets looking brand new and a company I will definitely use again and recommend to others.
Response from the owner: Thanks for the kind review
This Company did a fantastic job on our 30+ year old carpet that just won't wear out! While we were moving furniture back afterward, I noticed a strip in a traffic area that didn't look quite right. When I contacted them, they were back out within a few hours and promptly took care of the issue!
Response from the owner: Thanks for the review
Awesome company, my furniture looks amazing. They were clean and professional. Also, on time and went right to work!

1st Class is exceptional. Extremely responsive, courteous, thorough and on time. Definitely recommend! THANK YOU!
Wow 1st class is their name for a reason. I had the vent cleaning, carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning services done today. They did such a thorough job in 2.5 hours for a 2500 sqft house, very nice owners (husband/wife) team that show up and WORK. Very satisfied.
Hung up the phone and they were at our front door in minutes. Toilet leaking all over wet carpet.

Would recommend this company. On time and courteous. Excellent job on my carpet which was extremely dirty looks great now.
Response from the owner: Thank you Dorothy for your kind words!
They were fabulous! They were early and got some nasty stuff out. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner: Thank you!
We have a carpet that was the best quality at the time, but is 30 years old. It had so many stains, I was sure they were permanent. The owners showed up with state of the art equipment and 'steam' cleaned, not hot water clean, and got almost every stain and mark out of this old carpet. It honestly looks like new. The only stain remaining was because it was actual wood stain and you have to replace the carpet with that much damage. The steam allows you to walk on the carpet in 6 hours instead of the usual 24. We are selling this house and the carpet was the only sore spot, but not anymore. I will recommend this company to family and friends with a clear conscience.
Response from the owner: Thank you Tom for wonderful review!
On time. Easy to contact and schedule appointment. The carpet looks great!
Response from the owner: Wonderful to hear!
Very professional. Did a great job. They are the only carpet cleaning company I use.
Response from the owner: Thank you for the feedback!
Absolutely awesome experience! I needed anti-microbial cleaning for a guest coming with severe allergies. They arrived promptly, were fast and efficient and I’ll recommend them all day long.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for sharing your experience and we are happy to serve you!
Excellent, thorough duct and carpet cleaning. Will definitely use them again!
Response from the owner: Great to hear!
Did a first-class job on time and very professional. No pricing games just a good honest job at a good fair price.
Response from the owner: Thanks!
Claude was a great guy and too informative. He explained me of every bit of the services that he was doing. I would definitely try him all the time and would recommend him :-)
Response from the owner: This is terrific to hear and thank you for your feedback!
After our crawlspace flooded due to a frozen pipe, we could not have asked for a better experience or better service than what Claude provided. One of the perks of a small town and local business - we called in the later evening hours on a weeknight, expecting to get voicemail and/or be told we would have to wait a couple days, but Claude was there with a pump within 20 minutes! A good 2-3 feet of water was pumped and gone by the next morning allowing us to quickly get our pipe fixed and boiler up and running so we could heat our house. Claude brought a blower over, checked in with us regularly, and finalized his part by spraying to prevent mold. Friendly, knowledgeable, and more than fair in pricing. We highly recommend this local small business!
