The first thing to understand is avoid using any type of acid-containing cleaners on your surfaces. These types of cleaners can cause the color of your grout to fade and can actually cause your grout to chip and crumble.  Using a cleaner especially made for grout is important. We recommend Marblelife’s InterCare Cleaner to clean both tile and grout of all types. It is easy to use. Just spray it on and wipe it off!  You will be amazed at the mirror-like shine you will achieve. It is recommended for all man-made tiles including Mexican tile, porcelain, ceramic tile, and sanded and non-sanded grout.
