Tile and Grout Cleaning

Do your Tile or Stone floors need attention? Does your grout no longer resemble the color you worked so hard to choose? Don't waste the weekend on your hands and knees with a toothbrush. Let us show you what our contained cleaning system can do…. Simply incredible!!

The Process

- Pre-Treatment

First, we apply our mild cleaning solution to the floor. Then we run a grout brush along all grout lines, In a severe case of soiling we will use a rotary floor machine to agitate the cleaning agents in. The cleaning solution does not produce any harmful or toxic fumes.

- Turbo Pressure Washing

We use a pressure washing system designed specifically for the task. The floor tool connects to a powerful solution & vacuum hose, which sucks the cleaning disk to the floor, and confines the water spray inside the 16-inch disk.  There is no splash over or mess to worry about.  The vacuum hose draws away the water, along with the dirt, to a containment tank and we dispose of the wastes in accordance with EPA regulations. 

Our process restores the floor to almost 100% of its original appearance. Some stains, (red wine, oil, dyes, etc.) will not come out because they dye the grout, but the combination of heat, water pressure, and suction removes most stains.

- Sealing

After a professional clean is the best time to seal natural stones or the grout lines with our penetrating sealer.  The floor absorbs the sealer into its pores, creating a barrier against future staining.  The sealer does not change the appearance of the floors by adding a shine or luster.  Instead, it preserves the natural beauty of the surface.

 FAQ's

Q. Why is it important to have my floor sealed?

A. Adequate sealing is the only way to protect your investment from water-based and oil-based stains.  A sealer prevents a spill from penetrating into the porous surface of the floor, and gives you time to clean it up.  And clean-ups are a snap!  Simply blot fresh spills with a clean cloth or paper towel.  The sealer continues to protect, even after repeated cleanings. 

Q. How does a sealer protect my floor?

A. The penetrating sealer is absorbed by the pores of the Natural Stone or Grout.  It fills up the "nooks and crannies" so that wet stains cannot get below the surface, and soil sits on the surface until it is swept or wiped away.

Q. How is a sealer applied?

A. First, the floor is professionally cleaned, neutralized, and fully dried.  Then, the sealer is applied using a floor applicator and allowed to soak in for about 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, the excess sealer is buffed off the surface and allowed to dry.

Q. Why is it necessary for a professional to apply sealer?  Can't I do it myself?

A. We have the training, experience, tools, and a wide variety of sealers for all types of natural stone, tiles, and grout.  Professional application ensures complete protection for the entire surface of the floor.  Improper sealing can leave a sticky residue on the surface of the floor that is difficult, if not impossible, to remove.

Q. What do sealers protect against?

A. A penetrating sealer repels water-based and oil-based liquids, prevents stains caused by most food and beverages; and protects the surface from dirt and impurities.

Q. Does a sealer alter the appearance of the floor?

A. No.  Our sealers protect without changing the original color, texture, feel, or appearance of the surface. 

Q. Do you have different sealers to choose from?

A. Yes.  We have a wide assortment of sealers, designed for a variety of surfaces and conditions.  Some sealers are designed for interior use only, others for exterior use.  And some are designed specifically for floors with high porosity, such as sandstone & slate.  We will help you select the most suitable sealer. 

Q. Will my floor ever have to be professionally cleaned and sealed again?

A. Yes.  The frequency will depend on the amount of traffic on them, frequency of spills, etc. Sealers make maintaining your floors much easier and more effective, yet not maintenance free.
