Grout staining in bathroom tiles — Barcelona, Catalonia
Discolored or blackened grout between bathroom tiles is caused by mold, mildew, soap scum buildup, and hard water deposits. Regular cleaning can't always restore it. A professional deep cleaner with grout-specific tools (steam cleaners, rotary brushes, commercial-grade hydrogen peroxide) can restore grout to near-original color and apply sealant to prevent future staining.
