Sealing
Sealing
There are 2 basic types of sealers. Clear or color seal. A clear sealer is used on most grout where you want to keep that same color. The sealer is liberally supplied and worked into the grout lines. It is vital to use a high quality durable impregnating sealer for this process. Cheap silicone sealers do not last very long. After sealing it is important to maintain the floor using the right cleaning agents and tools. You will not need to use ammonia, bleach, or other harsh chemicals. This will only damage the sealer and grout.
Clear Sealing
A clear sealer is used to repel oil and water based stains. Most sealants on the market today tell you that should reseal the surface once every 12 to 18 months. In reality, it really depends on how well you maintain your floors. It will still need deep cleaning maintenance even if it is sealed. The sealer is design to protect against stains, not every day soiling. The soil will need to be removed at some point. Sealing will make everyday cleaning alot easier. The clear sealer preserves the natural beauty of the surface that it protects.
Color Sealing
If you are still not satisfied with the way your grout looks after a restoration cleaning, you can still protect your investment and not have to replace your grout through color sealing. Instead of a clear seal you choose a color of your liking. This process gives your grout a “Brand New” appearance. It gives the floor a whole new look. This process makes the grout lines resistant to staining. Once again it is important to maintain the floors properly following this process.
Why don’t your protect your investment and save money today with color sealing. Color sealing, when done correctly can dramatically change the appearance of your floor. Color sealing can also enhance and beautify your grout lines to give it a newly installed appearance at a fraction of the cost.
