Before Grout Res-Q After Grout Res-Q

Frequently Asked Questions

A.Yes. Our stain/sealing process allows us to change grout from light to dark or dark to light with 100s of colors and shades to choose from. Save thousands by updating an old tile area instead of replacing it.

Q. Should I seal my grout?

A. Grout does not have to be sealed. But without some sort of protection, the grout will begin absorbing dirt and grime immediately after installation. Because grout is a porous material, it will readily absorb dirt and stains even with regular mopping. This can leave the grout color looking uneven and dirty. And that can spoil the look of a whole room. Our process makes grout stain-proof.

Q. How long will it last?

A. Applied and maintained correctly, the stain/seal protection will typically last 10-15 years or more.

Q. What sealers work best?

A. Most sealers on the market today, even the expensive ones, only provide stain resistance. Stain resistance means you have a little more time to pick up a spill, but it's just not enough protection for most homeowners. Just sealing grout doesn't make it stain proof. Our stain/sealing process creates a long-lasting, durable layer of protection that prevents dirt and spills from absorbing into your grout.Your original grout color is "locked in" while dirt and stains are "sealed out". Common household spills can be easily wiped away leaving the grout looking like the day it was installed.

Q. How long does it take to dry?

A. Allow 2 hours before light foot traffic. Keep grout dry for 7 days after initial clean-up. Avoid scrubbing grout for 20 days.

Q. How long will a project take?

A. 95% of all our projects are completed in one day.

Q. How should I maintain my ceramic tile?

A. Ceramic tile should be maintained using a neutral PH tile and grout cleaner. Harsh cleaners like bleach, ammonia and vinegar should be avoided and can damage grout.We recommend using a neutral cleaner for regular maintenance.

Follow the cleaning directions below:

• Sweep loose dirt and debris from floor.
• Mix 2-4 oz. of neutral cleaner per gallon of mop water.
• Apply solution to 10 foot square area to be cleaned.
• Allow solution to dwell for a couple minutes
• Agitate cleaner on floor with a sponge mop.
• Rinse dirty solution from floor thoroughly.
• Dry puddled water from grout joints using a terry cloth towel.
