Coat Sealant
After cleaning the spot stains and tiles, when requested we apply coat sealant to ensure shiness and newness last long. It also acts as a protective layer that saves you from future spills and strengthens the grout binding.
Post cleaning instruction
We suggest you not walk for at least three hours on the freshly cleaned floor and let it dry also give sealant time to settle for 24 hrs which means no liquid on tile or possible scratch. You can put your furniture, and carpet after 24 hours of applying sealant.

Following Home remedies
With the internet, you can buffer hundreds of videos on D-I-Y or do it on your knowledge, about tile cleaning and grout cleaning. One of the trendiest D-I-Y of interest at this moment is using baking soda with vinegar and vinegar with dish detergent.This solution might completely work for mirrors, phone screens, and glass tables, but it is not an ideal solution for tiles and grout cleaning.
Vinegar is acidic which might cause your grout to Detroit and give away the cement leading your tiles to loosen up.
Scrubbing the tiled areas with bleach or ammonia products
We highly recommend you to not use bleach or ammonia products on your tile and grout for cleaning purposes. It will discolor your tiles and damage your grout causing you to loosen up the tiles.You should use something that is more alkaline based or ph-balanced solution or better calls a professional cleaner for tile grout cleaning.
Abrasive tool
Abrasive materials and tools such as steel wool, scouring pad, or brush should be avoided in tile and grout cleaning.It is a myth that you need to have tough abrading tools for cleaning purposes. A scouring tool will only cause more damage to you than do any good. Such tools can scour the tile and cause damage to the grout.
Colored cleaners
If you have white tiles or unglazed tiles, we suggest you do not use colored cleaners.Colored cleaners may color or stain your tiles which will look unpleasing. We advise against colorful cleaners for those of you who have unglazed tiles, that is, tiles that are not coated with a glossy surface. Your tiles may be scratch resistant but not stain resistant.
Oil-based or Wax-based cleaners
We suggest you not use oil-based cleaner or wax-based cleaner as they leave a residue on your tile and grout that may attract dirt, resulting in yellow stains that are unpleasant. The more you will clean the dirtier your tiles are going the get.
