"We had major damage from a leaking shower pan and did not want to reinstall the same technology so we contacted Lakewood Countertops about a custom made 4' x 6' Corian shower pan instead of a concrete and tile pan. They sent out a man to measure who arrived quickly and did a good job. The estimate was about $2600 plus tax, about 1/3d less than another company for the same product. They told us it would take about 10 business days but near the end of that time, they called and said they could not find material in the common color we wanted. We chose another similar color that they could get and were told it would take an additional 10 days. The installer was supposed to come on Friday and my general contractor was on site to remove a temporary wall to facilitate the installation. Lakewood called and said their installer had called in sick and could not come that day so my contractor had to reinstall the wall. This cost me about $300 for unnecessary work. When the installers arrived on Monday, they did a great job of installation. A pan that big comes in 2 pieces and has to be glued together with special glue and held under pressure for about an hour. Afterwards, the floor of the pan was sanded and finished so you cannot see the seam. The pan fit perfectly. I am completely pleased with the work and result but not so happy with the overpromise on scheduling."

Use a stiff-bristle brush and warm, soapy water to loosen surface grime. Then, let the grout dry and finish with a grout-specific sealant. This combo cleans without scratching the tile and locks out new stains. Always follow the label directions so the cleaner and sealant bond properly. A few extra minutes of care keep grout bright and help your floors look fresher longer.
The most effective cleaner for badly stained grout is a professional-grade steam machine. High-pressure, high-heat vapor lifts embedded dirt without harsh chemicals and brightens grout lines in one pass. Pros often pre-treat tough spots with a mild solution and finish with a soft brush to protect the tile. The result is a deep, even clean that lasts longer than store-bought products.
Tile and grout are water-resistant, not waterproof. Dense materials like porcelain or glass shed moisture well, but even sealed natural stone and standard cement grout can absorb water over time. That’s why routine sealing and prompt spill cleanup matter.
Keeping moisture out prevents erosion, mold, and discoloration—especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and other splash-prone areas.
Schedule professional tile and grout cleaning every six to 12 months, with quick touch-ups in between. Busy kitchens and bathrooms often need attention on the shorter end of that range because constant moisture speeds up staining.
Sticking to this routine keeps grime from setting, reduces mold risk, and stretches the life of your tile and grout, saving you from bigger repairs later.
When done correctly, tile and grout cleaning is perfectly safe for your floors. Pros match cleaners and brushes to your tile type, control pressure, and avoid harsh chemicals that can etch or erode surfaces.
If you’re DIYing, test new products in an inconspicuous spot and follow label directions. The right technique removes buildup while protecting both the tile glaze and the grout lines.
Yes—apply a fresh sealer once the grout is completely dry, usually 24 hours after cleaning. The sealer forms a moisture-resistant barrier that blocks stains, mold, and everyday dirt, making future scrubbing easier. Skipping this step leaves porous grout exposed, which can lead to discoloration or cracks and, ultimately, expensive repairs. A quick reseal now protects both the grout and the surrounding tile.
