Specifically because I'm obsessed with old houses, I think Steve buys himself a little shitbox and makes it home. I don't think he'd go for anything as old as the 1800s, I vibe more with like Steve getting a little two bedroom at most 50s house from an old cat lady for cheap bc idk he drove by and noticed her struggling with her overgrown yard, had nothing better to do for the day, and somehow ends up her favorite adoptive nephew along the way (Steve is found family shaped)

How to Keep Your Tiles Shining 

Tiles are a popular option because of their aesthetic appeal and longevity among homeowners. But to keep them shining, you need to use the proper methods and give them regular attention. These little instructions will help you maintain the best-looking tiles.  

Cleaning must be done on a regular basis. Every day, sweep or vacuum to get rid of dirt and debris that could scratch your surfaces. To keep them shining and steer clear of harsh chemicals, mop once a week with a pH-neutral cleaner.  

Grout lines require extra care. Use a specific cleaner or a solution of baking soda and water to clean them. Every six months, seal your grout to keep moisture and stains at bay.  

Damage prevention is essential. To lessen dirt tracking, use mats at doorways and stay away from abrasive or acidic cleansers. 

Various tile types need different maintenance. Although they just require occasional sealing and routine washing, ceramic and porcelain tiles are low maintenance. Because natural stone tiles are more porous, they require frequent sealing and specialist cleaning to keep them free from damage and stains.  

Take quick action while cleaning up spills and stains. Spills should be cleaned up immediately, especially on natural stone tiles. For stains that are water- or oil-based, use the proper stain removers.

Is Grout Sealing Necessary After Installing New Tile?

Installing new tile can instantly transform the look and feel of a space, whether it’s a kitchen, bathroom, or any other area in your home. However, along with the installation comes the task of maintaining the tile and grout to ensure its longevity and beauty. One common question that arises is whether grout sealing is necessary after installing new tile. In this article, we at Scrub America, professional grout sealing experts in Houston and nearby area ,will explore the importance of grout sealing and why it should be considered, especially in locations like Houston, where Grout Cleaning in Houston is essential for maintaining pristine tile surfaces.

Grout is a porous material that fills the gaps between tiles. Over time, unsealed grout can become susceptible to various issues such as staining, discoloration, and moisture absorption. By applying a grout sealer, you create a protective barrier that helps prevent these problems. Houston, with its humid climate and occasional heavy rains, is particularly prone to moisture-related issues. Thus, grout sealing becomes even more crucial in this region.

One of the main benefits of grout sealing is that it helps repel dirt, grime, and liquids. In high-traffic areas or rooms prone to spills, such as kitchens and bathrooms, sealing the grout can make cleaning significantly easier. It creates a barrier that prevents stains from penetrating the porous surface, making regular maintenance and grout cleaning Houston a breeze. With sealed grout, spills can be wiped away without leaving behind lasting marks or discoloration.

Furthermore, grout sealing helps prevent mold and mildew growth. Moisture can penetrate unsealed grout, creating a damp environment that promotes the growth of these unsightly and potentially harmful substances. In a humid place like Houston, where moisture levels can be high, it’s crucial to take preventive measures. Sealing the grout helps inhibit mold and mildew growth, contributing to a healthier indoor environment.

In addition to protecting against stains and mold, grout sealing also enhances the overall appearance of your tiled surfaces. Unsealed grout can easily become discolored or dull over time, affecting the aesthetic appeal of your tile installation. By applying a sealer, you can maintain the original color of the grout and keep your tiles looking fresh and vibrant. This is particularly important if you’ve invested in high-quality or decorative tiles that you want to showcase in their full glory. Now that we at Scurb America, grout sealing company based in Houston ,understand the benefits of grout sealing, let’s discuss how often it should be done. Generally, it is recommended to seal the grout after installing new tile and then reseal it periodically, depending on the level of wear and tear. High-traffic areas or areas exposed to excessive moisture may require more frequent resealing. However, it’s always best to consult with professionals or follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the specific type of grout and sealer you are using.

In Houston, where the climate and environmental factors can impact the longevity of grout, regular grout cleaning From Scrub America, Houston and sealing can help preserve the integrity and appearance of your tile surfaces. Hiring professional grout cleaning services can ensure a thorough cleaning and proper application of the sealer, saving you time and effort while maximizing the lifespan of your tile installation.

Detailed Restoration of a Edwardian Tile Hallway Floor in Dursley

This client from Dursley got in touch regarding their hallway floor tiling which had been badly damaged in two sections during the installation of heating pipework. With the tile and base chopped out the pipes has been laid and backfilled with concrete up to the level of the original floor so it could be covered with laminate. The property was Edwardian and now unhappy with the laminate wanted the floor restored to its original state.

I’m based in Dursley so it wasn’t long before I was able to head over to the property and recommend a way forward. Having inspected the problems first hand I was able to create an accurate quote that would involve removing the backfilled concrete, bringing up the base to the right level and then replacing the missing tiles with matching. The whole floor could then be deep cleaned and sealed to ensure the new tiles matched perfectly with the existing. My quote was accepted, and a date agreed for the work to commence which would take four days.

Cleaning and Repairing an Edwardian Tiled Hallway Floor

Before starting the work, I had managed to source replacements, sizing can be a problem with these older imperial sized tiles however they are usually not too difficult to find.

The first day started with the removal of concrete from the damaged area, this proved difficult as there were water pipes just under the surface and naturally, I didn’t want to disturb these. So with just the use of hand tools I moved slowly and carefully to remove the concrete. Before leaving I brought up the level of the exposed subfloor using self-levelling cement which covered the exposed pipework and formed a level flat base on which I could fix the replacement tiles

Day two was spent tiling, followed by grouting. It wasn’t a large area but there were some intricate cuts to manage and a black and white chequered border to replace. Needless to say, this took up most of the day.

I left the floor to settle a couple of days then returned to deep clean the hallway using Tile Doctor Acid Gel worked in with a 200-grit pad fitted to a buffing machine. This was then rinsed off with minimal water and extracted with a wet vacuum. The floor was inspected and any stubborn areas re-treated. After a quick final rinse and extract the floor was left to dry off fully.

You do have to be careful with these old floors which don’t have a damp proof membrane though as using too much water can take a long time to dry out, hence the use of a gel cleaning product and minimal water.

Sealing an Edwardian Tiled Hallway Floor

Once cleaned I left the floor to dry out for 2 days before returning. I know from experience its not a good idea to apply sealer to a damp floor as the results can be patchy so its always a good idea to allow plenty of time for this.

To seal the floor, I used multiple coats of Tile Doctor Seal and Go Extra which has a modern acrylic formula that will allow the floor to breathe and ensure any moisture can pass through the tile and evaporate at the surface. The sealer will protect the tiles from dirt becoming ingrained in its pores and enhance their appearance; the new sealer also makes it easier for the new and old tiles to blend better.

My client was very pleased with the transformation and so happy that the floor had been restored to its original condition. Before leaving I took time to discuss aftercare and for this floor I recommended the use of Tile Doctor Neutral Tile Cleaner, it’s a mild but effective cleaner that is ideal for maintaining sealed tiles.
