Grout Clear Seal Care

What to Expect

HydroShield protected surfaces are not self-cleaning. HydroShield surfaces are up to 75% easier to clean because the dirt and grime no longer penetrate the surface, but sit on top of the HydroShield coating.

Easy-to-Clean Grout

To clean grout on your floor, vacuum as needed.  Caked on dirt can be agitated with a soft bristle brush and then vacuumed.  As needed, clean with a damp sponge or towel using a neutral pH stone cleaner.

For shower surrounds, spray surface with a neutral pH stone cleaner and wipe surface clean.  For stubborn or build up sticking to the surface, use a neutral pH cleaner and a very soft brush. Be sure to avoid any scrubbing.

For best results, use HydroShield Neutral pH Cleaner. It is safe for all stone and is anti-bacterial to leave bathrooms and kitchens amazingly clean and sanitary.
