In this COVID era, hotel customers are more discerning about hygiene than ever. Research shows that customers are thinking about how often the duvet is aired and what germs are on the TV remote control. Professional grout sealing is crucial to making the right first impression when they enter your hotel bathrooms.
Grout can be a problem area in many hotels. It takes the daily wear and tear of regular use and professional cleaning with harsh chemicals. Gaps and cracks can quickly appear and be a nightmare to resolve.
This is a job that needs more than just the hotel maintenance crew’s attention. You need professional grout sealing performed by a specialist company. Safe Step is here to make that happen for your hotel – contact us today for a quote.
Let’s explore further exactly why grout sealing is a job you need to leave to the experts.
Hotel Grout Challenges
When your grout and tile are brand new, the effect is fantastic. There’s nothing quite like walking into a dazzling clean bathroom. Brand new fixtures and professionally installed tile pop.
The grout gleams and is the glue that holds this high-end finish together. But in your professional experience, how long does that last?
Once the guests start rolling in, the abuse for the grout begins. First, it has to contend with potentially several showers a day. Not only is the action of the water wearing it away, so are the surfactants in body wash and shampoo.
Daily housekeeping comes along, and they do their best to keep the grout as clean as possible. Cleaning the grout might involve a little light scrubbing, some chemical cleaners – can you see the picture we’re building here?
Even in domestic settings, grout is quick to dry out and start cracking. In hotels, it’s even worse.
Mold and Mildew
Mold and mildew are two enemies of hotel housekeeping crews. They can develop quickly, are very unsightly, and are virtually impossible to remove.
Grout is especially prone to developing mold. Mold is a part of life – it’s everywhere in the air we breathe, and we can’t escape from it. But it will seek out and multiply in damp and poorly ventilated areas – places such as bathrooms.
That’s why so many of us, whether at home or in hotels, do battle with mold on a regular basis. Add to that the fact that grout is naturally porous, making it the ideal environment for mold to develop.
The fact is there is no easy solution once it’s taken hold. Some chemicals merely remove the appearance of mold but do not remove the actual mold itself. The best solution is never to get it in the first place.
Once grout lines in ceramic tiles appear, it’s visually offputting, and it’s a pain to keep clean. In order to keep all types of tiles looking their best, you need to have an excellent grout sealant in place.
