Frequently Asked Questions

We've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about kitchen tiling and our process.

What do I use to clean my grout and tile?

When cleaning your grout/tile is on your to-do list, do not use your everyday household cleaners. Doing so, will break down and damage it. In order to keep the integrity of your tile along with the aesthetic, you will need to use the proper cleaning solutions. At ELJ Tile, we use MAPEI’s grout and recommend that homeowners use their grout/tile cleaners as well. Using a tile companies cleaner is also a safe choice when attempting to clean.

Are tile and grout waterproof?

No, grout and tile are not waterproof. The waterproofing is done behind the tile. The absorption rate for water depends solely on the tile and grout that you choose. All tile will absorb some water.
