Tiled floors and walls have grouted each other to adhere to the surface. The tile gives your decor a clean, shiny or textured appearance. The installation process is a long time and the new grout must be properly cured before cleaning for the first time. The work shows the grout in the spaces between the tiles and comes in many shades to match the color of the tile. It will stay as new for a long time with proper care.
Instructions
Floor Care
1 allow three days for the new to dry the nozzle after the installation process.
2 Instruct the installer to seal the tile; This is an important step and should be included in the price. Grout is quite porous, the tiny holes will allow soil to embed on the surface, and they will appear shortly after dirty without a sealant. The person usually reseals the tiles within two days of the curing grout. The sealant will allow dust and dirt to float above the surface so that it can be cleaned or scrubbed in the trash.
3 Bar tile floor and grout on a regular basis. If you have pets or small children you may have to do this on a daily basis; Otherwise, once or twice a week will suffice. Alternatively, you can use a vacuum without a beater bar to suck dust and dirt.
4 Use rugs on your door entrances and heavy traffic areas and wash or shake them frequently. Tracking dirt in the home tends to give the scratches of tiled floors that make the surface look opaque.
5 Wash floors and new tile grout at least once a week with a damp mop and the cleaner recommended by the manufacturer.
6 Rinse, towel dry, or allow soil to air dry, depending on the cleaner's instructions.
7 Clean the spills immediately with a damp sponge or cleaning cloth to avoid staining the tile and grout.

8 Clean your kitchen splash or shower back walls with a damp cleaning cloth on a regular basis to avoid water stains and dirt buildup on the tile and new grout.
9 Wash the shower walls, kitchen counter tops, or back wall at least once a week with a manufacturer-recommended cleaner.
10 Rinse the area thoroughly, towel dry or allow to air dry, depending on the care instructions.
