Don’t Cook with Dirty Grout

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I’m the average Joe type, working for 8 hours a day for six (maybe seven) days in a week. While growing up, my dream was to be a chef, but somewhere down the line, I decided it wasn’t practical and went into a different career instead. Now I’m a desk jock and I’m finding it a bit boring and repetitive. Fortunately, my girlfriend has a knack for bringing excitement into my life.

Many have decided to cut back on spending with the advent of our country’s recession, and I’m no different. My busy lifestyle used to take me to restaurants for almost every meal, but as of late I find myself going back to my roots. Packing my own food and cooking my own dinner seem a lot more practical these days.

But, my apartment’s kitchen counter is questionable. I’ve barely used it before, and due to neglect and poor upkeep, the grout in between the tiles is extremely filthy. I’m pretty sure I’d get sick when I start preparing food there.

So, determined to get back to cooking, I decided to try and clean the counter (and the rest of the house, too, so I could finally invite my girlfriend over). This was when I realized how difficult grout is to clean. Essentially composed of porous cement, the grout absorbed all the previous food particles that it made contact with. It’s been years, I reckon, and the dirt have all butt seeped completely.

I would want the kitchen counter to be sparkling white again, if I had the time to spend working on it. Unfortunately, as I’ve said, I work six days in a week, and generally take Sundays off as a day of rest and relaxation. I did the next best thing: I went online and surfed around for anyone in the area who could come in and take care of it for me.
