How to Use Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh
Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh is a powerful cleaning and color restoring solution for your grout. It's perfect for removing dirt, grime, and stains from your tile and grout, while also refreshing its original color. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to use Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh:
Step 1: Prepare the Area
- Clear the area: Remove any obstacles from the area where you'll be cleaning. This includes furniture, rugs, and anything else that could obstruct your cleaning path.
- Protect the surrounding area: Cover nearby surfaces like wood floors or carpets with plastic sheeting or drop cloths to prevent any spills or splashes.
- Test in an inconspicuous area: Before you start cleaning the entire area, test Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh in an inconspicuous area to make sure it doesn't affect the color or finish of your tile.
Step 2: Application
- Apply Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh: Using a damp sponge or applicator, apply Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh to the grout lines, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Allow to dwell: Let the product sit for 5-10 minutes, allowing it to penetrate the grout and break down dirt and grime.
- Scrub: Use a grout brush or a stiff-bristled brush to gently scrub the grout lines. Work in small sections to ensure thorough cleaning.
- Rinse: Rinse the cleaned area with clean water and a damp sponge or cloth.
Step 3: Dry and Finish
- Dry the area: Use a clean, dry cloth or towel to thoroughly dry the tile and grout.
- Apply sealant: For added protection, consider applying a grout sealant to your grout after it is clean and dry. This will help prevent future staining and dirt buildup.
Tips:
- For heavily soiled grout, you may need to repeat the application and scrubbing process.
- Wear gloves and protective eyewear when using Mapei UltraCare Grout Refresh.
- Ensure good ventilation during the application process.
- Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions on the product label.
