Save time and money - grout cleaning tips

Cleaning your tile and grout can be a time consuming and costly experience. Hiring a professional cleaning company can literally cost hundreds, if not thousands of dollars depending on how big your home is and how much tile and grout there is. Generally speaking, they charge by the square foot. You can see how quickly that can add up. They'll come in with a couple of guys for a day or two, spray chemicals all over your tile and basically make any room they're working in uninhabitable for the next couple of hours.

The alternative would be doing it yourself. It's not really that hard! The benefits of doing it yourself are great. You'll save lots and lots of money, and you won't have to be at the schedule of anyone else. You can do whatever sections you want, whenever you want. You'll also be saving energy. The professional companies often use heavy machines to clean your grout and they suck up a lot of electricity. Although they do clean your grout well, it's a ilttle overkill for something you can do yourself. All you need is a cleaning agent, a good brush specifically made for cleaning grout, some time and a little elbow grease.

Taking the time to clean your tile and grout not only makes your home look better and feel better, it makes it cleaner as well and also raises the property value. Would you buy a house with gross, sticky grout lines? I don't think so.

With a little time and effort, your home will be looking fantastic! On the site mentioned above you can see a bunch of before and after pictures that truly show the difference cleaning your grout makes. I really recommend anyone interested in cleaning to include their grout. Your home will FEEL cleaner as well as actually be cleaner.
