Cleaning Grout
Most grouting is water resistant and not water proof so it absorbs moisture. When mopping dirt off the surface of tiles it is the moisture carrying dirt particles that absorbs into the grout causing it to discolour. In wet areas such as showers or wet rooms it is possible to get a build up of soaps, moisture and sebum within grouting, which if not cleaned properly will remain with in the grout and encourage mould spores and mildew to grow. To clean dirty grouting on floors between glazed ceramic or porcelain tiles use LTP Grimex. To remove mould and mildew from wall tiles use LTP Mouldex. We recommend sealing with LTP Grout Protector after cleaning.
Place a teaspoon of water on the intensively cleaned or untreated dry surface. Time how long it takes for the water to fully absorb.
- High Porosity - Water is absorbed within 5 minutes: 4 coats of sealer required in normal conditions.
- Medium Porosity - Water is absorbed within 15 minutes: 3 coats of sealer required in normal conditions.
- Low Porosity - Water is absorbed within 1 hour or longer: 2 coats of sealer required in normal conditions.
