Pools are exposed to the elements. Sun. Dirt. Leaves. Food. Sunscreen. Bugs. Dirt. People’s skin. Pools, especially a public hotel pool, can get dirty fast. The water isn’t the only thing that can get dirty, but the grout lines in the tile of the pool can get dirty. A dirty pool isn’t appealing for guests to use. You want your guests to feel like they’re in a paradise oasis, not cesspool.

The grout lines in pool can get just as dirty as the grout you find in a bathroom or kitchen inside the hotel. On pool grout, algae, mold, dirt, and stains can form from moisture and liquids that have collected from rainwater, pool water, and other outdoor elements.

When not properly cared for, a pool’s grout lines can go from bright beautiful colors to dingy, dull lines. Even if you “clean” the area, it can look like you’ve never cleaned if you aren’t using the proper grout cleaner and grout sealer.

You want to invest in quality grout cleaning products that can clean and seal your grout, so you can keep the hotel pool looking clean and new all year round.

To clean the pool’s grout lines, you need to drain your pool if any grout goes beneath the water. If you only have tile surrounding the pool, you do not need to drain the pool.

Make sure all your grout is dry. Next, sweep away any access debris or dirt that is on the surface of the tiles and grout. Use Grout Shield’s Grout and Tile Cleaner to clean the area. Apply the cleaner to the grout and tile with a mop and let it saturate into the grout lines for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, towel dry the area. After the grout is dry, apply Grout Shield’s clear sealer or color sealer onto the area. A grout sealer will protect your grout for longer, making it harder to get dirty. If you want to change the color of your pool, opt for the color sealer – you can choose any color you want!

You likely have grout in many rooms of your home or business. But, how much do you actually know about the grout? Do you know what grout is? Do you know how to clean and care for it? If grout isn’t properly cared for, it will look dirty and can break.

Grout is a porous, and it is made from a cement or epoxy-based material that locks tiles together to keep out water. Grout fills in spaces between stone and tiles, which also gives the surface a better finished look. Grout makes floors, walls, counter tops, and backsplashes stronger by bonding the tiles together. Grout can also help prevent the edges of tiles from chipping.

All types of grout require maintenance. Grout Shield cleaners can clean all types of grout. Here are some details about different types of grout:

Sanded grout – This grout contains fine sand; it is most often used for seams 1/8” and wider.

Unsanded grout – This grout is a smooth blend of cement and powdered pigments mixed with water.This grout is usually used for seams less than 1/8” wide.

Epoxy grout – This type of grout can be both sanded in unsanded. Epoxy grout is resistant to most stains and chemicals, because it includes a hardener and an epoxy resin. It is usually used for tiles ½” or less. This grout is best used for heavily trafficked or exposed areas.

You can also choose and change the color of your grout. Your grout can be bold or neutral. Grout Shield’s color sealer protects your grout while also coloring it any color you want.

Grout Shield’s products can easily restore soiled grout lines to a “like new” appearance. Our grout cleaners safely lift stains and clean grout, while our grout sealers protect the grout from getting dirty and dull.
