Q. I've heard that I don't need to or I shouldn't seal my grout, is that true?
A. It's true. Grout does not have to be sealed. But without some sort of protection, the grout will begin absorbing dirt and grime immediately after installation. Because grout is a porous material, it will readily absorb dirt and stains even with regular mopping. This can leave the grout color looking uneven and dirty. And that can spoil the look of a whole room. Grout does not have to be sealed unless keeping it looking clean is important. But what sealer is the best?Most sealers on the market today, even the expensive ones, only provide stain resistance. Stain resistance means you have a little more time to pick up a spill, but it's just not enough protection for most homeowners. Just sealing grout doesn't make it stain proof. Ideally, grout would be stain proof; protected so well that no matter what spills on it, the grout won't discolor. Spills would be easily wiped away leaving the grout looking like the day it was installed. The floor would be easily maintained with regular mopping and look new for years to come. Sounds too good to be true but that's exactly what we do! We specialize in restoring and protecting grout.
Q. I've heard something about color stain sealing grout. What is color stain sealing and what does it do?
A. Color stain sealing grout significantly reduces the maintenance required to preserve the beauty of your tile. The protection allows spills and dirt to be removed easily without leaving permanent stains. This fantastic process restores grout color to brand new again, making the grout completely uniform in color. It also protects the grout so well that dirt and common household spills are unable to penetrate into the grout, making the floor much easier to maintain. We can even change grout colors without removing the grout. There are 100's of colors and shades to choose from. Even floors with permanent stains can be brought back to a brand new look.
Q. How long do I have to stay off the floor after it has been restored?
A. Typically a floor will be ready for light foot traffic in only 2 hours.
