Grout! What is it? How Do You Clean It?
admin What Is Grout?
Well, let's start off by figuring out what the heck grout is? Wikipedia defines "grout" as;
"Grout is a dense fluid which is used to fill gaps or used as reinforcement in existing structures.[1] Grout is generally a mixture of water, cement, and sand and is employed in pressure grouting, embedding rebar in masonry walls, connecting sections of pre-cast concrete, filling voids, and sealing joints such as those between tiles. Common uses for grout in the household include filling in tiles of shower floors and kitchen tiles. It is often color tinted when it has to be kept visible and sometimes includes fine gravel when being used to fill large spaces (such as the cores of concrete blocks). Unlike other structural pastes such as plaster or joint compound, correctly mixed and applied grout forms a waterproof seal."
Well, that's the technical term for it. Here at Perfection Cleaning we like to define grout as those nasty little crevasses between your tiles in the bathroom or kitchen that like to collect dirt, grime, dust and germs.
