Does the damage to your caulk and grout have you confused?

Grout and caulk are things that a lot of people tend to forget about, or only notice as a bit of an afterthought. Afterall they seem to be insignificant next to the splendour and importance of your tiles, or glass screens, or vanity units! It’s not until they start getting mouldy, or chip and flake off, or just degrade to the point that they’re disgusting and make your bathroom look old that most people start paying attention. The unfortunate thing is that clean grout and caulk that’s in good condition can really make your tiling look spectacular.

Grout and caulk can both degrade over time, especially with inadequate or improper maintenance. A lot of people will use wire brushes or abrasive scrubbers to clean their caulk, but this can leave scratches and gouges in the soft material. While it’s true a lot of caulk is mould resistant, it’s a different story when you’ve got scratches that can fill with moisture and grime with no ventilation or cleaning options.

Helpful Hint #7436

Keep your tiling looking beautiful and fresh by making sure your grout is clean. Remember, most tiles are fairly resistant to dirt, but grout is porous and will absorb things that tiles won’t. There are many home made and store bought grout cleaners that are gentle enough to not damage your tiles, but strong enough to clean your grout. Just make sure that the brush you use to clean your grout is not metal or overly abrasive. You’ll risk damaging your tiling and your grout if you’re too rough with it.
