When I moved into my current apartment, I was actually quite pleased with how well maintained it was. I’ve lived in apartments with landlords who obviously showed little care for their properties: windows painted shut, cabinet doors falling off the hinges, scuffed and stained wood floors. You know the type, but luckily, this was not one of those apartments. The only part of the home I really needed to give some TLC was the grout on the kitchen floor.
I had big dreams of peel-and-stick tiling over the cheap printed tiles, but after four months of living here, I’m still not sure it’s worth it. The kitchen floor functions just fine, and it isn’t so ugly (nothing compared to my old rental bathroom). Plus it can really take a lot of time and energy to put down temporary tile—not to mention remove it. One thing I can do to spruce it up, though? Get the grout as clean as the day the tiles were laid, of course.
