Tiled floors are popular for moist spaces like bathrooms and kitchens because of their water resistance. Tiles also come in various colors, patterns, and finishes which can be arranged to make very aesthetically appealing flooring. But tiles can become stained by oxidized dirt. Dirty grouting is also a fertile breeding ground for all kinds of microorganisms, including bacteria and mold. If you have a tiled floor that is stubbornly dirty, it is best to use professional floor cleaning services for several reasons:

Remove Stains on Tiles

Tiles are water-resistant, but that doesn't prevent them from becoming stained. Various compounds can stick to the surface because of natural chemical reactions. Oxidized compounds, e.g., iron oxide in water, stick to the surface and stain the tiles. Tile floors on kitchen walls and floors stain quicker because heat is a catalyst for more reactions.

Cleaning stained tiles with the usual detergents is unlikely to remove stains. Instead, professional floor cleaning services use special cleaners that react with the staining compounds. The chemical reaction scours off the stains to leave the tiles clean as new.

Eliminate Harmful Microorganisms

The usual mop and bucket cleaning doesn't usually get to the dirt in the narrow gaps between tiles. If anything, it pushes more dirt into these spaces. As a result, they become attractive to various microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Mold will also grow on tile surfaces that are dark and poorly aerated, for example, under the kitchen sink.

While ordinary home cleaners can clean off mold and bacteria, the problem is reaching microorganisms in the spaces between the tiles. You need professional floor cleaning services who will work on these spaces with a grout steamer.

A steamer can blast superheated steam into these spaces to loosen the dirt, then cleans off with a special brush. It will kill off harmful microorganisms and leave the grouting clean. It also prevents the buildup of foul smells.

Extend Floor Lifespan

A thorough cleaning removes corrosive dirt from the grouting. It also helps see where any problems with the floor, for example, cracks. Floor cleaning services can also apply a sealer to protect the grouting after steam cleaning. The sealer makes this space waterproof and difficult for corrosive dirt to penetrate. It can extend your tile floor's life significantly even if it is in a high humidity space.
