February 1, 2010 · Posted in Cleaning · Comment 

You might be able to find several articles with advice about the best way to clean your tile grout or the best way to keep it clean. This article is about the easiest way to clean grout. In my opinion, the easiest way to do something is to hire someone else to do it. There are plenty of professional cleaning services out there that will clean your tile and grout. If you do decide to hire this job out, then remember that with professional grout cleaning service, you get what you pay for.

Some services out there will clean an entire room for as little as $60. These kinds of professionals are only going to be using steam and mild cleaners. They are a good solution if you do not have any stains to worry about and the grout is already relatively clean. If you need an intense cleaning then this service will not get it done. You will want a professional who is using industrial strength cleaners and machines with scrubbing brushes. There are many different kinds of grout cleaning machines that are used by professional grout cleaners. Some of them just shoot out steam with lots of pressure and then suck it away, while others have rotating brushes that help to scrub.

If you decide to hire a professional cleaning service, make sure that you get an agreement in writing before any work is done. Make sure that your expectations and the guarantees of the cleaning service are in line. If you are not clear about what they are promising, make sure you get them to give you references and put everything is writing. If you have a written contract, it will be easier to get back your money or refuse payment. However, you also need to be reasonable and realize that some stains are just too hard to remove. You might have to hire someone to replace some grout instead of just clean it.
