Tile floors are known for their durability, often lasting for decades without showing significant wear. However, the grout between the tiles is a different story. Grout is porous and absorbs dirt, spills, and other contaminants, leading to unsightly stains that can ruin the look of your beautiful tile floors. Even regular mopping can leave grout looking dirty and uneven if it’s not properly protected.
The solution? Professional color sealing for your grout. This process not only enhances the appearance of your floors but also provides long-lasting protection against stains and dirt.
Why Grout Needs Protection
While ceramic tile is built to withstand years of use, grout is much more susceptible to wear and tear. Because grout is porous, it easily absorbs dirt, spills, and grime. Over time, this can lead to permanent stains that diminish the beauty of your floors. Protecting your grout with a professional color seal keeps it looking fresh, clean, and uniform in color for years to come.
What is Color Sealing?
Color sealing is a specialized process that creates a protective layer over the grout, preventing it from absorbing dirt and spills. It effectively “locks in” the original color of the grout and “seals out” potential stains, making cleaning easier and keeping your grout looking new.
When professionally applied, color sealing provides long-lasting protection that makes maintaining your tile floors simpler and more effective. With regular mopping and minimal maintenance, your newly sealed grout will remain vibrant and fresh.
The Made New Again Color Sealing Process
At Made New Again, we’ve developed a unique color sealing formula over many years in the industry. Our sealer contains micronized paint pigment, which is finer than other products on the market. This acrylic-based formula forms a cohesive bond with the grout and penetrates deep into the grout channels, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Unlike epoxy-based sealers sold at home improvement stores, which tend to sit on top of the grout, our sealer penetrates the surface. Epoxy-based products are known to peel, crack, and lose their bond over time. With our professional color sealing process, you’ll enjoy superior stain protection and a grout color that stays consistent and fresh.
Benefits of Professional Color Sealing:
- Stain Protection: Spills can be easily wiped away, preventing stains from setting into the grout.
- Long-Lasting Results: Our color seal provides durable protection that can last for years with proper maintenance.
- Easy Maintenance: Your tile and grout will be easier to clean, requiring less effort and fewer harsh chemicals.
- Enhanced Appearance: Color sealing keeps your grout looking fresh, clean, and uniform, enhancing the overall appearance of your floors.
Maintaining Your Color Sealed Grout
While color sealing provides excellent protection, it’s essential to maintain your tile and grout properly to maximize its lifespan. Follow these simple maintenance tips:
- Sweep or vacuum the area to remove loose debris.
- Mix 1 ounce of neutral pH tile and grout cleaner per gallon of water.
- Apply the solution to the area to be cleaned.
- Let it sit for two minutes to allow the cleaner to work.
- Agitate the cleaner with a mop to lift dirt and grime.
- Mop up the dirty solution, ensuring the grout joints are thoroughly cleaned.
- Dry any excess water from the grout joints to prevent moisture buildup.
Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach, ammonia, vinegar, or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the color seal and reduce its effectiveness.
A Success Story: Transforming Grout with Color Sealing
One of our Made New Again customers was struggling to keep her white grout clean, despite trying various home remedies like bleach and vinegar. After discussing her needs, she opted for a darker grout color, which was a perfect solution for her situation. The color seal not only made her grout easier to maintain but also transformed the look of her floors, giving them a fresh, modern appearance.
