Maintaining Grout and Tile

Tile is designed to take a beating, which is great news because it often does exactly that. Grout, on the other hand, isn’t quite as durable as the tile it accompanies, and tile can get pretty grimy regardless. The great news is, there’s no better facelift for a room with tile and grout than cleaning it and restoring it to its original color and shine. If it’s looking like your kitchen, bathroom, or other tiled areas – especially outside – are ready for a good scrubbing, here are our recommendations on the best products to use to get the job done.

Grout-Eez Super Heavy-Duty Grout Cleaner

It promises to be the strongest grout cleaner you can find online. With a competitive price tag and a high volume of positive reviews to boost your buying confidence, we recommend giving this one a try for your bathroom or kitchen cleaning needs. It’s safe on ceramic and porcelain tile but beware on natural stone. As with all cleaning products, read the label carefully before applying to new surfaces, and always spot test before committing to the job with a product.

CLR Bath & Kitchen Cleaner

If you’re looking for a product without bleach, this is a competitive product. You can also watch it working as it dries, so you know when to step in to finish the job. This is a fast-working product, which can compromise efficacy depending on how severe your needs are. On the other hand, this product is great for general cleaning too, as is often needed when the tile and grout need cleaning, so you’ll find it extremely versatile when it comes to soap scum, hard water stains, and other muck often found on sinks, tubs, showers, and more.

Lysol Hydrogen Peroxide Bathroom Cleaner

If you have mold, you’re going to need something a little different than your usual cleaning product. This spray uses hydrogen peroxide to kill mold and restore your bathroom or other tiled areas back to its original healthy state. Just remember, mold is a serious problem and if you see any adverse changes that suggest the problem isn’t resolved, make sure to call professionals rather than trying to tackle it yourself.

Krud Kutter KK32 Original Concentrated Cleaner/Degreaser

This one is best for kitchen-exclusive needs, and it is designed with an emphasis on degreasing. When it comes to your kitchen, grease can build up in unexpected and virtually invisible places, so it’s important to get a product that is up to the job and can breathe new life into your surfaces. If your kitchen is your problem area, we recommend giving this product a shot to cut through grease and restore cleanliness and shine back into the heart of your home.

If your grout or tile problems are severe, you may need professional cleaning. The good news is this will ensure longevity in your home features, which is a worthy investment. For regular use, the above list features competitive products that should help keep your home healthy and clean, so you can keep it happy.
