Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: How can I determine when it is necessary to have regrouting done?
• A: It is important to consider regrouting as soon as signs of yellowing, mold growth, discoloration, or the grout starting to deteriorate become noticeable. While the damaged grout may not appear too severe on the surface, it can create a potentially hazardous situation behind the tiles. In some cases, the grout may be leaking water, which could be attributed to missing or cracked grout. Even small holes or hairline cracks can lead to significant issues. Therefore, it is crucial to address these issues promptly by opting for regrouting. By doing so, you can prevent further damage, maintain the integrity of the tiled surface, and mitigate any potential water damage or structural problems that may arise.

• Q: Is it necessary to seal the grout after regrouting?
• A: Once the regrouting process is complete, it is highly recommended by Tile Cleaners® to seal the newly applied grout. Sealing the grout helps in extending its lifespan and preserving its fresh appearance. The sealer acts as a protective barrier, shielding the grout from stains, dirt, and grime. Additionally, sealed grout is easier to clean and maintain, as the sealer prevents substances from penetrating into the grout pores. By applying a sealer to the regrouted area, you can ensure that the grout remains in excellent condition and simplify the cleaning process, making it safer and more efficient.
• Q: How does regrouting differ from cleaning and sealing the grout?
• A: Cleaning the grout involves the use of specialized machines to remove dirt and dust, ensuring a clean surface for applying the sealer. This process eliminates any barrier layers between the grout and the sealer, allowing for effective adhesion. The sealer is then applied using appropriate tools, depending on the tile condition and setting. On the other hand, regrouting entails replacing the old grout between tiles with new grout. Tile Cleaners® utilize a mechanical tool to scrub out the old grout, followed by a thorough cleaning process. Afterward, new grout is applied between the tiles. These are distinct processes, and it's possible that after regrouting, you may still need to clean and seal the grout to ensure optimal protection and maintenance.
