5 reasons why regular professional tile and grout cleaning is essential for a healthy home

Whether it’s used as flooring or adorning the walls of your bathroom and kitchen, tile and grout are very popular choices in homes.

Loved by homeowners for their durability and aesthetic appeal, tile and grout is easy enough to clean on the surface. You just spray and wipe, right?

Wrong. The grout between tiles can quickly become a magnet for dirt, grime, and bacteria - especially if they are not properly maintained. Over time, this buildup of unwanted residue not only harms the appearance of your tiles, but can also pose significant health risks.

Using our decades of hands-on experience, we've put together five key reasons why regular professional tile and grout cleaning is essential for maintaining a healthy home - and how our advanced cleaning technology tackles the problem like nobody else can.

1. Prevention of mould and mildew growth

The danger: Grout is porous, which means it easily absorbs moisture, especially in humid areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. This moist environment creates the perfect breeding ground for mould and mildew, which can quickly spread and cause serious health issues like allergic reactions and respiratory problems.

Zerorez's solution: Our innovative cleaning process penetrates deep into the grout, effectively removing mould and mildew at the source. The use of our powerful Zr Water cleaning solution eliminates any need to use harsh chemicals too, ensuring a safer environment for your family.

2. Elimination of bacteria and germs

The danger: Grout lines between tiles are often overlooked during routine cleaning, which allows bacteria and germs to accumulate over time. In kitchens in particular, these surfaces are regularly exposed to food particles and moisture, in turn becoming a hotspot for harmful bacteria.

Zerorez's solution: Zr Water effectively sanitises tiles and grout, removing harmful bacteria and germs without leaving behind any sticky or chemical residues. After a Zerorez tile and grout clean, you can rest easy knowing your living spaces are hygienic and safe for everyone, including children and pets.

3. Improvement in indoor air quality

The danger: After dust, dirt, and other unwanted allergens settle into the grout, they can lie in wait to become airbourne again once disturbed. This can be caused by everyday cleaning activities such as hoovering or mopping, and lead to increased allergens in the air, aggravating conditions like asthma.

Zerorez's solution: Our cutting-edge technology ensures a deep clean, eliminating the build-ups of dirt and allergens in your tile and grout. This improves the overall air quality in your home and means you can better stay on top of regular maintenance without having to compromise on indoor air quality.

4. Prolong the life of your tile and grout

The danger: It's natural for tile and grout to show wear and tear over time, although this is exacerbated by allowing dirt and grime to build up. Only mopping them yourself can spread dirt around rather than removing it, which can lead to discolouration and deterioration of the grout. Without proper cleaning, grout can crack and tiles can become loose, leading to costly repairs or replacements.

Zerorez's solution: Our gentle yet highly effective cleaning technology deep cleans grout and completely removes unwanted build-ups, thereby helping to guard against long-term damage and extending the life of your tile surfaces. This can save you money on repairs and help ensure your surfaces maintain their original beauty for years to come.

5. Restore the aesthetic appeal of your tiles and grout

The danger: Foot traffic, spills, and domestic cleaning products can all contribute to dull and dingy grout. This can make your floors and surfaces look tired and uninviting, even if the tiles themselves appear clean.

Zerorez's solution: By removing the layers of ground-in dirt, we can revive the appearance of your tiles and grout. By the time we've left your home, your tiles will look back to their gleaming best, with your floors and surfaces looking as good as new!

We seal your grout too!

After a professional Zerorez cleaning, we add sealer to your grout, which increases its resistance to dirt, spills, and stains.

The sealer fills the porous areas, helping to keep grime out and ensure your grout always looks its best - all whilst making future cleaning easier!
