Carpet Cleaning in Odem, TX
So many myths circulate about caring for your home. There are all sorts of home remedies and shortcuts for getting rid of mold, dirt, mildew and toxins. Some of them work, but some can cause more harm than good. And what’s more, you may not realize which ones are causing damage until it’s far too late to do anything about it.
Cleaning with bleach is considered to be one of the best ways to eliminate germs and to sterilize even the dirtiest surfaces. It’s true that bleach has powerful antiseptic qualities. However, it is very harsh and should be used with extreme caution and moderation.
Bleach should only be used on non-porous surfaces because it can deteriorate porous surfaces from the inside out. Bleach eats away at grout and even tile, and it’s impossible to get it all out with commercial equipment. Therefore, once you have put bleach on tile and grout, there’s no way to get it out.
Also, bleach can take away the shiny, glossy coating on tiles, which can make them look dull, plus it will allow more particles – dirt and cleaning products – to get deep down into the deepest pores of the tile and grout.
Tile and grout, like other surfaces in your home, need special care. Don’t trust just anyone to take care of your tile and grout surfaces, or you could end up with floors and other surfaces that look old and worn out long before their time.
