If you have ceramic tile anywhere in the commercial facility for which you are responsible, it’s absolutely essential you have a grout cleaning machine. Over time dirt, dust, and grime will get tracked in on the surface. Even if you use the top commercial floor cleaning machines to keep those ceramic tile surfaces looking their best, they won’t be nearly as effective in keeping the dirt out from the grout surface.
Most grout is white.
No matter what color the ceramic tile is, more often than not the grout is white. After a while that white finish will begin to appear dirty, old, and may even lead to some cracking. If you have a quality grout cleaning machine, you can avoid damage to the tile surfaces, having to completely regrout the entire floor surface, and other issues.
Here are a few key benefits to having a quality grout cleaning machine on hand for your maintenance department.
Grout collects dirt.
As mentioned, the grout is going to be like a magnet for dirt. The dirt that gets pushed off of the ceramic tile surface will collect in the grout. Since grout is more porous, it’s easier for the dirt to get stuck in the surfaces.
Those seams are tough to clean.
Ask anyone who has been on their hands and knees with a small toothbrush to clean grout by hand and they will attest to the challenges of keeping grout clean.
Dirty grout makes the entire floor look dirtier.
The ceramic tile surface can be extremely clean, but if that grout looks dirty and old, the entire floor surface will be affected as a result. It’s one of the main reasons why you should consider a grout cleaning machine to help keep your commercial floor surfaces looking their best from start to finish.
