Grout Cleaning Procedure for Floors

Step 1: Assemble Supplies and Safety Equipment

Low Speed Machine
Nylo-Grit® Brush
Clean Mop
Mop Bucket
"Wet Floor" Signs
Rubber Boots
Gloves
Safety Glasses
Grout Avenger™ (#299RR)
Deck Brush
Floor Squeegee and/or Wet Vac

Fan

Step 2: Sweep Area
Sweep area and remove any large debris.


Step 3: Dilute Chemicals

Mix Grout Avenger™ (#299RR) 1:4 (32 ounces per gallon) with water in a mop bucket.

Step 4: Wet Floor Signs
Place "wet floor" signs at any entrances to work area

Step 5: Apply Cleaning Solution
Liberally apply cleaning solution to floor using a mop. Allow product to dwell for 10-15 minutes before scrubbing. If you are cleaning a large area, break it up into sections to prevent grout resoiling or floor drying.

Step 6: Scrub Floor
Using a low speed machine and a Nylo-Grit® brush, thoroughly scrub the floor.

Step 7: Remove Cleaning Solution
Force cleaning solution into floor drain with a squeegee. You may need to apply clean water to accomplish this. If there is no floor drain, or if it is not functioning properly, remove cleaning solution with a wet-vac. Place fan to speed drying process.

Note: Test a small area before attempting this process. If grout does not release soil, it is likely sealed.

Note: Grout dries slowly. Allow 8-10 hours after procedure before reopening the area.
