Summer is the time for outdoor get togethers, BBQs, pool parties, bonfires, and more! You will be spending a lot of time outside your home, particularly in the backyard, so not only is it important for your landscaping to be looking its best, but your tile work should too! You don’t want your guests stepping on or looking at dirty and dull stone or slate tiles.  You want to properly clean it, so your backyard can look stunning!

Stone or slate tile work gives your yard a natural, beautiful look. These tiles don’t come cheap, so it makes sense that you care from them properly, so they don’t need to be replaced quickly. Just like regular ceramic tile, stone tile and the grout around it can absorb dirt and liquids, which stain and dull both the tile and grout. Even if its outside in the elements, dirty tiles don’t look good! You should protect your tiles with a proper grout and tile cleaner and grout sealer to keep them looking great throughout the year.

With stone tile, it’s important to invest in a proper tile cleaner. Many cleaners out there contain ammonia and bleach, which will damage stone. After cleaning away the dirt with a proper grout and tile cleaner, like Grout Shield’s grout and tile cleaner,  you can use a Grout Shield sealer to protect the tile and grout from future dirt and stains. Grout Shield products, like the Enhancer Seal, are safe to use on stone and slate. The Enhancer Seal can make ceramic, slate, terracotta, stone, marble or Mexican tile look vibrant and new. The sealer is extremely easy to use. Grout Shield Color Sealer can enhance the natural beauty of stone tile, as well. This grout color sealer helps bring out the tones within the stone, while protecting the stone at the same time.

Check out this video below to watch how to use the grout sealer. Notice how well it brightens and restores the surface to its original condition!
