TILE AND GROUT CLEANING
Tile surfaces, from the elegance of marble to the practicality of ceramic, are a staple in many homes and businesses. However, over time, the grout lines between these tiles can become a haven for dirt, grime, and mold, dulling the appearance of your floors and walls. Regular tile and grout cleaning is not just about aesthetics; it’s also crucial for maintaining a hygienic environment, especially in kitchens and bathrooms where moisture accumulates.
DIY VS PROFESSIONAL TILE & GROUT CLEANING

CLEANING PROCESS
INSPECTION & PROTECTION
We begin by inspecting the tile and grout to identify tile type (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, etc.). As well as assess grout condition (staining, efflorescence, etc.). Next we apply Protective Measures, we use tape to mask off adjacent surfaces (baseboards, carpets). Finally we lay down protective coverings on surrounding floors.
DRY SOIL REMOVAL & PRE-TREATMENT
We thoroughly remove loose dirt and debris from the tile surface, in addition to a vacuuming cleaner with a gentle suction setting to avoid scratching. Next we treat the grout by applying a professional-grade grout cleaner solution directly to the grout lines. Lastly we allow the solution to sit for 10-15 minutes to penetrate and break down dirt. For heavily soiled or stained tiles, apply a tile-specific cleaner.
CLEANING, RINSING & NEUTRALIZING
We use a grout brush to agitate and work the pre-treatment solution into the grout for a thorough cleaning, in addition to rinsing the brush frequently to prevent re-depositing dirt. Then we employ a microfiber mop or a soft, non-abrasive scrubber to clean the tile surfaces. Working in sections, changing the cleaning solution as it becomes dirty. Finally we perform a thorough Rinse, using clean, warm water to rinse away all cleaning solutions from both tile and grout.
