Why are my grout lines so dark?

 Why, despite constant mopping, do my grout lines get dark?  Your grout lines sit lower that the tile surface, so as you mop you are actually pushing soil into the grout lines.  It's unavoidable. The only way to fix it, besides getting down on your hands and knees and scrubbing is a periodic, professional grout scrubbing. Professionals have the proper products to deep clean, neutralize, and then seal your grout.  Many products that homeowners may use can actually damage or compromise the grout.

Should I have my grout painted?  While you can have a color seal product put on your grout to make it all look evenly colored, you need to keep in mind that it is not a permanent solution. Over time due to wear and cleaning sections of the coloring can come off exposing the original grout color.  We have seen in a number of times.

Beware of Winter Invasions!

 Winter brings unwelcome guests: Dirt, sludge, and grime. 

Between snowy boots, dripping umbrellas, and road salt, your home doesn’t take long to look and feel messy. Thankfully, a few simple strategies can keep the muck at bay and help your home spring in great shape.

 

The winter-ready entry

 The entryway is your first defense against winter mess—place heavy-duty doormats outside and inside your door to catch dirt and moisture before they get in. Consider adding a shoe rack or boot tray to keep footwear organized and contained. Encourage family members and guests to remove their shoes at the door.

Create a cleaning kit

Keep a dedicated winter cleaning kit near your entryway for quick touch-ups. Include items like a small broom and dustpan, a microfiber mop, and a spray bottle of all-purpose cleaner. A quick wipe-down of muddy areas as they happen can prevent dirt from spreading.

 Protect your floors

Floor protection is key during the winter months. Use washable rugs in high-traffic areas and hallway runners to prevent dirt from reaching your floors. For more delicate flooring, consider laying down soft backed area rugs.

Keep pets in check

Pets can track in their fair share of dirt and snow. Wipe their paws with a towel or pet-safe paw cleaner before letting them inside. Keep a mat or towel by the door for extra messy days to catch any lingering moisture.

 Regular maintenance

Vacuuming and mopping more frequently during winter is essential to staying ahead of the grime. Focus on entryways, mudrooms, and other high-traffic areas. Don’t forget to check for hidden salt or dirt that might damage your floors over time.

                                                 Prepare for spring 

Start thinking ahead by decluttering and organizing areas prone to winter buildup. A little prep now will make the spring cleaning season much more manageable. With a few thoughtful measures, you can keep your home clean and welcoming throughout the winter months and be ready to embrace the fresh start of spring without a hassle.

But sometimes, the cleaning tasks you need to complete can be overwhelming. There is help for you when those times occur. Contact Delta Carpet Cleaning, your favorite cleaning company for specialized tasks like carpet and furniture cleaning. 

After all, it pays to call a pro!
