Steps for Cleaning Grout with pFOkUS Cleaner:

If you want to engage in a DIY grout cleaning procedure, then here is a detailed guide on how to clean grout effectively:

1) Prepare the Solutions:

The first step involves preparing the solutions. For that, you need to first dilute the solution. Pour the entire bottle of Imperia Deep Clean into 1 gallon of sprayer bottle. Next, fill the sprayer bottle with hot water. If you need this solution for deep cleaning in showers full of mold and stains, you can only fill the half of the sprayer bottle with hot water to get a more concentrated spraying solution. Also, fill a second sprayer bottle with hot water. This will be used to neutralize the surface and wash Imperia off the walls. Adding 80 oz of alcohol to the neutralizer will help dry out the surface faster.

2) Spraying Tile and Grout:

Once the solutions are ready, you spray our tile grout cleaner on the walls and floor, and let is stand on the surface for 5 to 10 minutes until it seeps into the pores and starts loosening the bonds of rigid stains and mold. It is always better to spray from top to bottom.

5) Reapply Imperia on the Walls:

It is a good idea to clean the walls along with the grout lines. Spray Imperia again on the tiles and using a scotch brite pad, gently scrub on the tiles.
