Grout and Tile Cleaning in Your Home | Bathrooms, Kitchens, Walls and Floors

Complete Bathroom Tiles and Grout Cleaning Coloring and Sealing

Grout and tile cleaning by hand is hard work. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and impossible to get the deep-clean results that come with professional tile and grout cleaning.  This is because regular mopping will never reach the hidden dirt that lies deep within the pores of your grout lines. Grout is a porous material that collects dirt, grime, and spills, often discoloring the surface.

Have you ever wondered why the grout floors in your home don’t feel as fresh despite regular cleaning? Have you ever thought about those grout lines between your tiles?  Our homes often hold onto more than just memories. They also harbor tiny invaders of bacteria and mold, particularly in the tile grout.

Cleaning tiles and grout isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a battle for hygiene. It’s like fighting an invisible war against these micro-organisms that can affect the overall health of our living space.

The Science Behind Tile and Grout Cleaning

Grime, mold, mildew, and bacteria lurk in your tile’s grout lines.  Your tiles may shine after a quick mop, but that doesn’t mean they’re clean. Tiles are porous materials, making them perfect hideouts for dirt and microbes. Over time and effort, this can result in a change of color or even health risks.

The magic of professional-grade grout cleaners lies in their ability to penetrate these pores deeply. We use specialized solutions to break down stubborn stains and kill harmful bacteria lurking beneath the surface.

Meanwhile, steam cleaning removes deep-seated dirt from grout lines without damaging your tiles. This method uses high-temperature steam and effectively sanitizes surfaces while breaking up tough soil deposits. So next time you look at your shiny floors, remember: there’s more than meets the eye.

We have started the process of cleaning these bathroom tiles and grout.  Our team cleaned a small spot in the middle of the floor just to show how dirty the tiles were.  The Gappsi Method to Cleaning and Sealing tiles in kitchens and bathrooms:

  • Spray the area with chemicals to break down grease, grime, and dirt on the tiles and grout lines.
  • Clean the grout and tiles with hot dry steam.
  • Sanitize the toilet bowl with hot steam.
  • Sanitize the sink faucet and countertop with hot steam.
  • Steam clean bathroom or kitchen floor tiles.
  • Color bathroom or kitchen tile grout joints.
  • Buffing tiles to remove residue on grout color.
  • Vacuum dust off bathroom floor tiles after buffing.
  • Seal bathroom tiles and grout with clear protective sealer.
  • Wipe off extra sealer from tile surfaces.
  • Complete bathroom tiles and grout cleaning, coloring, and sealing.
Cleaning Grout and Tiles with Hot Dry Steam
Cleaning Grout and Tiles with Hot Dry Steam

We start the cleaning preparation process by applying the cleaner over the tiles and grout. The cleaner will soften any grease and dirt that has accumulated on the grout over the years.  This facilitates the removal of any grease and scum when steam is applied to the tiles and grout.

⇒ CONTACT GAPPSI TODAY TO CLEAN AND SEAL YOUR BATHROOM OR KITCHEN TILES⇐

As we let the grout cleaner do its work while we sanitize all bathroom fixtures with dry steam, we clean every groove, gap, and fixture in the bathroom. The dry steam gets through every crack where dirt accumulates over the years.

Our team ensures to sanitize the area with a very hot dry steam. After cleaning and sanitizing all the fixtures we use steam to clean the entire tile area removing all the dirt and grease softened by the cleaner at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

The steam alone would clean the tiles and grout but prepping the surface with a cleaner to facilitate the removal of the dirt and create a clean surface is better.  It opens all the pores in the grout for the color sealer to penetrate deeper.

This completes the steam cleaning process of the whole bathroom including the walls then finishing with the floor. The grout is ready to be sealed after we cleaned the bathroom.  Once complete we coloured the grout and sealed it too.   The colour and sealer combination will create a uniform grout coloring while sealing it and protecting it from absorbing dirt in the future.

Cleaning-and-Sealing-Paving-Stones3After we let the color sealer absorb into the grout joints we wipe the excess that’s sitting on the tiles.  It dries for a minute or so and the process continues throughout the entire bathroom. Once all the joints are sealed, we let the grout dry.  We polish with a buffing machine and remove any dry residue that was left on the tiles during the grout cleaning process.

A final vacuum is completed to remove any dust that was created during the cleaning process.  For a final coating over all the grout and colored sealer, we apply an extra step of clear sealer.  This provides further protection for the tiles and grout of the bathroom walls and floor.  The clear sealer will not enhance or change the color of the grout or stones when it dries. We then wipe off any additional residue of sealer accumulated over the tiles. This also further spreads the sealer into the joints.

Cleaning and sealing grout is a many-step process when done correctly.  Does your grout need to be cleaned and restored?  If you need to restore the kitchen or bath grout, have discolored joints, or need sealing done on the bathroom or kitchen floor.  Give Gappsi a call today at 631-543-1177 or text us at 631-831-3177.

Gunite Pool Repair and Backyard Design in Laurel Hollow NY

Posted by Gappsi Group on

Gunite-Pool-Repair-and-Backyard-Design-in-Laurel-Hollow-NYSwimming in a Gunite pool is a great way to cool off, exercise, and have fun during the hot summer months.  Add in an outdoor kitchen, and you won’t have to miss out on the fun that’s happening at your home.  There are many benefits of an outdoor kitchen, and whether it be a simple or more complex outdoor kitchen design, you’ll find a benefit in both.

Gappsi recently designed and built a backyard for a private residence in Laurel Hollow NY. The backyard had an existing Gunite pool that we refinished and restored. We installed new coping, and porcelain tiles in the water line under the coping, then finished the pool with gray marble dusting. The coping consists of bull nose walnut travertine which was also used throughout the backyard for caps on walls and steps.

Gunite Pool Repair and Maintenance

Owning a pool also comes with a certain amount of responsibility. Regular pool maintenance is essential to keep your pool clean, safe, and in good condition.  When you have a gunite pool, repairs are easy to schedule and take less time than you think. We offer our clients:

  • Pool service options to help maintain the pools we build
  • Restoration of older pools fallen into disrepair
  • Concrete pool resurfacing to keep your pool looking great
  • Repairs that bring an older pool up to code
  • Total gunite/shotcrete pool renovation and design for a new look for your backyard

Gunite-Pool-Repair-and-Backyard-Design-in-Laurel-Hollow-NY4What is the purpose of pool coping?

When an in-ground swimming pool is constructed of concrete, it will need coping, which is a cap for the edge of the pool. Coping surrounds the shell of the swimming pool and protects it. This piece keeps any water and debris from going in behind the shell and safeguards it from damage or cracking.

Bullnose Walnut Travertine Pool Coping

Travertine is acknowledged as a wonderful material to use in many architectural and decor projects, both big and small. It has many benefits such as its timeless look, it feels amazing underfoot, is incredibly durable, easy to clean, and more!  If your pool area needs an upgrade, you can’t go past travertine. Using travertine pool coping will make a huge difference to the look and feel of your pool area.

Travertine has a naturally cooler touch than any other paving stone. As a result, travertine pool coping is a more practical choice when you and your family are enjoying the summer months outdoors. Typically, most people want to enjoy their pool and outdoor area more when the weather is warmer.

Imagine the unpleasant experience of trying to climb out of a pool and having to grip your hands onto the piping-hot pool coping tiles. Then quickly make your way on bare feet across what feels like hot coals on your bare feet. Ouch!

These unpleasant experiences will be drastically reduced if you install travertine tiles and pool coping. That’s why it makes sense to choose travertine pool coping over any other stone or paving material.

Gunite-Pool-Repair-and-Backyard-Design-in-Laurel-Hollow-NY1Porcelain Tiles – Slip-Resistant and Safe

Porcelain is a virtually nonporous material that is ideally suited to use on a wall as it keeps water ingress to a minimum. The nonporous nature of porcelain also helps prevent staining meaning the coping will keep its original colour and be low maintenance throughout its lifetime.  Porcelain tiles are an excellent choice for pools they provide a modern and stylish look. Porcelain tiles are watertight and low maintenance, making them a great option for all wet areas around pools, including decks and patios.

Even when exposed to water, porcelain tiles won’t become slippery or especially dangerous to walk on. This makes them invaluable as a pool decking material, especially if you’re concerned about kids running and slipping when enjoying the swimming pool this summer.

Marble Dusting Gunite Pool Repair

Marble Dusting is a smooth plaster finish that is applied to the gunite pool or spa. It’s a mixture of highly refined white cement and crushed marble. This material can be dyed into many colors or purchased in a specific color and aggregate pattern. While white, or anything in the gray spectrum including black is common, exposed aggregate finishes can provide a unique look to your pool. The marble dust is applied up to the water line followed by rows of tile of your choice. The Marble Dust and tile give an attractive finish to your Gunite Pool and Spa Scape.

Gunite-Pool-Repair-and-Backyard-Design-in-Laurel-Hollow-NY2Gunite Pool Maintenance

Gunite pools are known for their durability, longevity, and customizability. However, they also require regular maintenance to keep them looking and functioning at their best. Here are some tips for gunite pool maintenance:

  • Brush the pool walls and floor: Use a pool brush to scrub the walls and floor of your gunite pool regularly. This will help prevent the buildup of algae and other debris.
  • Skim the surface: Use a pool skimmer to remove leaves, insects, and other debris from the surface of the water. Doing this daily will help prevent the debris from sinking to the bottom of the pool.
  • Check the water chemistry: Test the water chemistry of your gunite pool regularly to ensure that the pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels are balanced. Imbalanced water chemistry can lead to algae growth, staining, and other problems.
  • Shock the pool: Shocking the pool involves adding a large dose of chlorine to the water to kill bacteria, algae, and other contaminants. This should be done every week or two, or as needed.

The entire backyard was paved with G046 Melfi limestone, a very beautiful combination of colors, browns, grays, and maroon colors. We used a cultured stone for the rises and the wall veneer. The project was recently sealed as well.  In addition, we built an outdoor kitchen, and on the top left, there is a multi-level backyard.

Top-5-Benefits-of-a-Gunite-Swimming-Pool-East-Hampton-NY3

When it comes to building a backyard pool here are the top 5 benefits of a Gunite swimming pool.  Homeowners have a multitude of options to choose from. One type of pool that has gained immense popularity over the years is the Gunite swimming pool. Known for its exceptional durability and extensive customization options.

Top 5 Benefits of a Gunite Swimming Pool

Gunite pools offer a host of benefits that make them an ideal choice for homeowners looking to create a luxurious and long-lasting oasis in their backyard. In this article, we will explore some of the key advantages of Gunite swimming pools.

Unmatched Durability of a Gunite Swimming Pool

One of the standout features of Gunite swimming pools is their exceptional durability. Unlike other pool construction methods, such as vinyl or fiberglass, Gunite pools are built to withstand the test of time. Their solid structure is created by spraying a mixture of cement, sand, and water over a framework of steel reinforcement. This meticulous process results in a pool that can withstand extreme weather conditions, ground movement, and the general wear and tear of regular use. Gunite pools have a lifespan of several decades, offering homeowners peace of mind and long-term enjoyment.

Top 5 Benefits of a Gunite Swimming Pool East Hampton NY1

Design Flexibility and Customization of Gunite

Gunite swimming pools are highly customizable.  This allows homeowners to create a pool that perfectly suits their preferences and complements their outdoor space. The versatility of Gunite allows for endless design possibilities.  From traditional geometric shapes to free-form designs that mimic natural bodies of water. With Gunite, homeowners can incorporate features like spas, waterfalls, rock formations, and intricate tile work.  This makes each pool unique and tailored to individual tastes. This level of customization ensures that your pool becomes a true reflection of your style and enhances the overall aesthetics of your property.

Unlimited Size and Shape Options

Gunite pools offer unparalleled flexibility when it comes to size and shape. Unlike pre-fabricated pools, which are limited in their dimensions, Gunite allows you to create a pool that perfectly fits your available space and meets your specific requirements. Whether you have a small backyard or a sprawling estate, Gunite pools can be designed to maximize the use of your space. With Gunite, the only limit is your imagination.

Longevity and Return on Investment

Investing in a Gunite swimming pool is not just about leisure and enjoyment; it is also an investment that adds value to your property.

Additionally, the customization options and durability of Gunite pools make them highly desirable to potential buyers, ensuring a higher return on investment compared to other types of pools. This means that not only will you enjoy the benefits of a Gunite pool during your ownership, but you will also reap the financial rewards if you decide to sell your property in the future.

Top-5-Benefits-of-a-Gunite-Swimming-Pool-East-Hampton-NY

Easy Maintenance and Repair on Gunite Pools

Contrary to popular belief, Gunite pools are relatively low maintenance. The smooth, non-porous surface of Gunite makes it resistant to algae growth and staining, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Additionally, if any damage occurs, Gunite pools are easily repairable without the need for extensive renovations. Minor cracks or chips can be patched up quickly, ensuring that your pool remains in pristine condition for years to come. This ease of maintenance and repair further adds to the long-term value and enjoyment of owning a Gunite swimming pool.

Cons of Gunite Swimming Pools

Although gunite pools offer numerous benefits to homeowners, there are a few cons that come with Gunite pools.

Longer Construction Period – One of the main disadvantages of gunite pools is that they incorporate an extended construction period. You can spend two to three months trying to build a Gunite pool. This is because gunite requires at least 28 days to cure. Bear in mind that the curing period depends on your area’s climatic conditions. If you want to construct a pool within a short period, Gunite pools are not your best option. Instead, consider fiberglass pools since they are pre-manufactured before they get onsite. Therefore, installing a fiberglass pool takes approximately two to three weeks.

Higher than Average Maintenance Costs – Gunite swimming pools are expensive to maintain. You need to keep them clean and balance the water chemistry. Many homeowners opt to purchase an in-floor cleaning system or robotic pool cleaner; otherwise, these pools would attract large algae breeding grounds and stain them.

There is additional maintenance needed because the surface of the pool interacts with the water and can be a breeding ground for algae and require the use of other chemicals to clean and stabilize the quality of the water. Additionally, a plaster finish that is applied to concrete pools must be reapplied about every 10 to 12 years. Fiberglass pools never require resurfacing. Also, frost in colder climates can affect concrete pools, requiring acid washes that can eventually wear down the color of the pool.

Gunite Swiming Pool in East Hampton, NY Designed and Built by Gappsi

The backyard was designed and built by Gappsi in East Hampton NY. We built a 14 x 40 gunite swimming pool with a 6 x 9 spa including steps and a bench wrapped around the spa. The spa was designed using polished black granite for the coping. The borderline tiles are porcelain black tiles and the finish in the pool is black marble dust plaster.

The swimming pool is equipped with an auto cover. We installed a 2-inch thick G044 Limestone for the pool coping and the autocover box. The patio behind the deep end of the pool was extended with random flagstone and grass planted between the joints. The patio stones we used are the G044 French pattern also selected from the Gappsi Natural Stones Collection. We were restricted by the size of the patio and we had to comply with lot coverage. This is the latest backyard renovation designed and built by Gappsi in East Hampton, on Long Island NY.

Gunite swimming pools offer a range of benefits that make them a top choice for homeowners seeking a durable, customizable, and long-lasting pool.
