No one wants bacteria in the kitchen, yet it’s an ideal environment for it to grow and thrive. Grease, oil splatters, and food particles constantly bombard kitchen surfaces. When combined with moisture, these elements create the perfect conditions for bacteria like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which is common in the food service industry.
Where does this bacteria typically live? It’s most often found in the grout lines of tile floors. Over time, it produces organic acids that break down these grout lines, including epoxy grout—despite it being a popular choice for high-traffic environments.
Surprisingly, daily mopping can make the problem worse. Each pass of the mop spreads the bacteria and acids, diluting them but also further weakening the grout.
As the grout erodes, tiles become loose and start popping up. Not only do these loose tiles create trip hazards for employees, but they also indicate that bacteria has infiltrated below the surface, potentially damaging the floor’s substrate and leading to costly failures.
