Grout Cleaning
Grout Cleaning
There are many myths surrounding the process of Grout Cleaning. To effectively clean grout, one must understand the chemical and mineral composition of grout. For if you do not understand this, you will likely choose the wrong cleaning chemicals and make the grout worse. Grout is generally a mixture of water, cement, and sand and is employed in pressure grouting, connecting sections of pre-cast concrete, filling voids, and sealing joints such as those between tiles.
What is Grout Cleaning?
Grout cleaning is the process of removing stubborn or inground grout from between floor or wall tiles. In most cases, grout colouring will last several years. The primary reason why homeowners and renovators employ a grout cleaner is to limit expense and renovate the floor back to an as-new condition.
Types of Grout
There are four basic types of grout: unsanded, fine sanded, quarry type, and epoxy.
- Unsanded grout : This is used for wall tiles where the grout joint is less than 1/8” wide.
- Finely sanded grout: This is used for floor tiles where the joints are 1/8” to 3/8” wide.
- Quarry-type grout: This is the same as finely sanded grout for ceramic til𝚎s except that a coarser grade of sand is used. The quarry-type grout is used for joints that are 3/8” wide to 1/2” wide such as those used with Saltillo tiles.
- Epoxy grout: This consists of an epoxy resin and hardener. Epoxy grout for ceramic til𝚎 is highly resistant to stains and chemicals and has a tremendous bonding strength. It is ideal for countertops and other areas susceptible to stains.
