Like New Tile and Grout Cleaning Service
Our tile and grout cleaning process is somewhat similar to our carpet and upholstery care process – we blast your tile and grout with 240º cleaning solution at 1,300 PSI and vacuum it away, along with years of dirt. Since the cleaning solution is vacuumed away so quickly, there is never damage to your cabinets or appliances. The process is safe for your tile and grout.
Understanding the difference between porcelain/ceramic tile and stone tile (such as travertine, slate and marble) is crucial to the cleaning process. When cleaning ceramic, you can use an acid because porcelain is impervious to acid and can’t be harmed.
Porcelain tile is highly durable and resistant to damage from most substances, including acids. However, while the tile itself is impervious, care must be taken when using acid-based cleaning solutions as they can cause damage to the grout surrounding the tiles. Over time, unneutralized acid can lead to pitting or deterioration in the grout, impacting the overall appearance and integrity of your tiled surface.
Natural stone tiles, on the other hand, are porous and can react negatively to acidic substances. Acid exposure on stone surfaces can lead to undesired etching or surface damage, such as cracking, rather than a “crackled” effect (which is an intentional design element in some tiles). For this reason, it’s essential to avoid using acidic cleaners on stone and to properly seal stone surfaces for added protection.

Grout is a mixture of sand, cement, and a bit of coloring, which means it’s prone to collecting dirt and absorbing stains, especially if left unsealed. If you’re tired of scrubbing away at dirty tile and grout, here’s a handy tip: after cleaning, make sure to apply a sealer to keep your surfaces looking cleaner for longer. While you can try to do this yourself, it’s important to choose the right type of sealer to avoid damaging your tile. With years of experience, our team can recommend and apply the perfect sealer for your specific tile and grout.
To keep your surfaces looking pristine, we recommend getting a professional tile and grout cleaning every 2-3 years. Contact us today to discuss your options and schedule your cleaning appointment.
