It is really ironic that the room in the house where we all spend our time cleaning and grooming is generally the room that has the most bacteria and germs and offers us the greatest chance of contracting diseases and infections. For this reason, it is very important to make sure you clean your bathroom particularly well. Most people go out of their way and go to great lengths to make sure that all bathroom fixtures such as the bathtub, sink, toilet, and shower are spotlessly clean, but rarely do people go to such lengths on cleaning the bathroom floor. So what is the best way to clean a bathroom floor?

One of the benefits of placing tiles in your bathroom are numerous. They are strong and durable and never go out of style. If you buy good quality tile for your bathroom, it should easily get five to ten years of use. The only downside to having tile on your bathroom floor is that occasionally you may have to re-grout to ensure they stay sealed and don’t drip underneath. So what can you do to extend the life of your grout, make it look good, or if the worst happens, replace it?
Every now and then you should check your grout by taking a good look at it, if hairline cracks start to appear it’s better to act sooner rather than later to make sure they don’t spread and create even bigger work for you. Before attempting to repair hair lines in grout, you need to make sure the grout is clean and dust-free. Carefully apply a new coat of grout to the joint and make sure it is well pointed to ensure the water drains off rather than settling on it and soaking up.

Unfortunately, this is a very boring job, but it is work that must be done to ensure that the life of the grout is extended. Just remember that the sooner and more thoroughly you clean the grout, you’ll save a lot of time down the road when you have to reapply the grout.
