Cleaning a Porcelain Tiled Bathroom in Stamford Hill with Tile Doctor Duo Clean

A client from Stamford Hill was in touch last month about refreshing their bathroom Tile and Grout. The property was being put up for sale, and they wanted it looking its best before going on the market. The bathroom was tiled with “Pearl Alalpardo Porcelain“ tiles which just needed a deep clean really, however some of the white wall grout was badly stained and so for that I recommended applying a grout colourant.

I put together a quote for the work which would be completed in less than a day and included stripping out the silicone sealant and replacing with new. I was given the go ahead and a date was set.

Deep Cleaning Grout on a Porcelain Tiled Floor

To start the renovation, I sprayed Tile Doctor Duo Clean onto the grout and across the tiles and left it to soak in for five minutes before scrubbing with a heavy-duty brush. I worked in sections a metre at a time and put most of the focus on the grout to see if the stains could be shifted though cleaning.

Once done the section was rinsed with water and the soiling rinsed away or extracted with a wet vacuum until as dry as possible. The process was repeated where needed until I was satisfied it was as clean as possible.

While the tile and grout dried attention turned to the silicone sealant where dirt and some mould had caused discolouration. This was stripped out using a sharp knife and the area cleaned up to remove all the remnants of silicone.

With that completed work moved on to colouring using a bottle of Tile Doctor Grout Colourant in White. The colourant is painted onto the grout line using a small brush and any excess wiped off the tile afterwards. Only one coat of colourant were needed to get achieve a consistent appearance.

To finish fresh anti-mould silicone sealant in White was applied between the floor tiles and vertical surfaces leaving the bathroom looking fresh and crisp giving the impression of a new installation.

One of the advantages of the grout colourant is it forms a barrier over the grout preventing further staining so it should keep its looks for some time to come. However, it will still need to be cleaned for which I recommend the use of Tile Doctor Aqua Pro which is a spray on bathroom tile and grout cleaner.
