How to Use Mapei Ultracare Grout Cleaner for Perfect Tile Maintenance
Keeping grout lines clean and looking fresh can be one of the biggest challenges when it comes to maintaining tiled surfaces. Over time, everyday dirt, soap residue, and limescale can dull the appearance of grout and tiles — especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and commercial spaces.
That’s where Mapei Ultracare Grout Cleaner comes in. Designed to effectively remove stubborn stains and restore the natural look of tiles, it’s a trusted choice among both trade professionals and homeowners.
We stock a full range of Mapei Ultracare products — all available with trade discounts and bulk ordering options — so you can achieve the perfect finish every time.

Mapei Ultracare Products
1. Mapei Ultracare Keranet Liquid
Keranet is an acid-based cleaner specifically formulated to remove cementitious residues, limescale, and efflorescence from tiles, porcelain, and stone surfaces. It’s perfect for use after grouting or tiling, helping to eliminate haze and return tiles to their natural shine.
To use, dilute the solution as directed and apply with a sponge or cloth, then rinse thoroughly. Keranet’s professional strength means you can achieve fast, reliable results with minimal effort — ideal for both trade and domestic cleaning jobs.
2. Mapei Ultracare Grout Release
Before you start cleaning or sealing, preparation is key. Grout Release acts as a temporary barrier that prevents grout from sticking to tile surfaces during installation. It’s especially useful for textured or porous tiles, reducing cleanup time and ensuring crisp, clean grout lines.
Applying this before grouting can save hours of labour and minimise the need for aggressive cleaning later — making it a smart step for both professionals and DIYers.
3. Mapei Ultracare Grout Protector
Once your grout is clean, protecting it from future staining is essential. Grout Protector creates a transparent, breathable barrier that repels water, dirt, and household stains. This helps maintain the colour and integrity of your grout for longer, reducing how often you need to clean.
It’s suitable for both wall and floor grout, indoors and outdoors, and is simple to apply — making it the ideal finishing touch after cleaning with Mapei Ultracare Grout Cleaner.
Tips for Cleaning and Maintaining Grout
-
Clean Regularly: Don’t wait until grime builds up. A light clean every few weeks keeps grout looking new.
-
Use the Right Product: Acidic cleaners like Keranet are effective for removing cement haze, while neutral cleaners are better for delicate finishes.
-
Protect After Cleaning: Apply a grout protector to help prevent future discolouration and staining.
-
Avoid Harsh Scrubbing: Always use soft brushes or cloths to protect tile surfaces and sealants.
