Budda Oliver states that tile is becoming a more preferred choice of flooring due to its durability, longer life span, and convenience when cleaning (2009). Tiles are simply easier to clean and maintain. They do not have as much dust production, keeping homes clear of dust mites. This sounds great but when time passes, tile and grout are just as susceptible to dirt, grime, and bacteria as other floorings, and just as them, require maintenance and care. Regular tracking on tiles, mopping with dirty water, and many other factors all contribute to this (Grosvenor, 2006). Grout is more venerable than tile, but both maybe at risk without proper care. Many will argue that their tiles color is gone for good, but the fact is even if your tile changed to gray or even black, your original color is still th fullfast ere. Many look and seek ways to take care of matters in their own hands such as Carrie Grosvenor. She declares household methods using vinegar or baking soda along with other methods in cleaning and concealing grout and tile (2006). Truth is there are a lot of steps and factors to consider when caring for tiles and grout. First, we look to see what colors we are dealing with. When working with colors other than white, bleach is the last chemical wanted as a cleaning agent in order to maintain the original presence. After determining the color the next step is to loosen all accumulated soil, grease, contaminants, and residues as much as possible, like pre-treatment. Afterwards is the power scrub step. You want to then use a special surrogated bush to agitate the grout lines as well as tile surface.
