Tile, stone, and slabs are popular surfaces for our homes. They are both durable and beautiful, with almost endless design options available. These materials are often used in areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic floors in part due to how easily they can be cleaned.
However, even if you regularly clean your tile and stone surfaces yourself, chances are they may not look as good as they did when first installed. This is because typical cleaning processes can’t reach the embedded dirt within your stone, tile or grout. Both grout and natural stone surfaces are porous materials: They are full of tiny holes that collect dirt and grime, often discoloring the surface.
If you want to keep your tile and stone surfaces looking and performing like new for as long as possible, professional cleaning and resealing is critical. These processes will remove embedded dirt and grime, and protect the porous surfaces. In this article, we will explain the benefits of this service, as well as how often you should schedule it at your home or business. Tile and stone surfaces can be a big investment – read on to learn how you can protect it.
For everyday maintenance, do-it-yourself tile and stone cleaning solutions are great. However, these products and cleaning methods allow bacteria, mold, mildew, minerals, hard water residue, dirt, oil, pet messes, and discoloration to build up. Professional tile, grout and stone cleaning can fully penetrate these surfaces and remove build up. Regular professional cleaning can even help prevent irreparable damage and permanent stains.This helps your investment last longer, look better, and ensures the safety of those in your property.

Once you have had your home surfaces professionally cleaned, you will want to preserve the results as long as possible. Grout sealing can help with this: Grout is a porous material, meaning it is filled with tiny holes and cracks that can absorb dirt and spills. Sealing your clean grout will help create a protective barrier, keeping dirt and liquid spills from penetrating the grout. We have sealants and polishes that can protect all types of stone, tile, and grout without changing its natural appearance.
As a general recommendation, you should schedule professional cleanings at least once every year. However, there are several factors you should consider when determining how often to have the tile and grout cleaned at your home or business. The weather, amount of foot traffic, pets, activities in the area, and regular floor cleaning processes will affect how often you need to have your tile, stone & grout cleaned. If you can see stains and discoloration, or simply don’t know when the last time your surfaces were professionally cleaned, then your tile and grout is ready for our help.
Remember, this regular cleaning is not just for floors. We can also clean and seal the grout in kitchens and bathrooms, and we can also do restorative or general cleaning of kitchen countertops made of any material.
If you own or manage commercial properties, we can help you keep both residential and common areas looking great. Fitness centers/gyms, patios, showers, pool areas, dining areas, hallways, restrooms, and anywhere else that you have tile, stone, and grout installed can all benefit from this process.
