Tile and Grout
Tile and grout cleaning is a specialized cleaning service focused on cleaning and rejuvenating ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles, as well as the grout lines that hold them together. Over time, dirt, grime, mould, mildew, and stains can accumulate on tiles and grout, making them look dull and discoloured. Professional tile and grout cleaning helps restore the appearance of these surfaces and can extend their lifespan.
What’s Included
Inspection: The process typically begins with a thorough inspection of the tiled area. This helps the cleaning professionals identify the type of tiles, the condition of the grout, and any specific stains or problem areas that need special attention.
Preparation: Before cleaning, the area is prepared by moving furniture or obstacles that may be in the way. This ensures that the entire surface can be thoroughly cleaned.
Dust Removal: Dry dirt and debris are often removed first through methods like sweeping or vacuuming. This step prevents loose particles from becoming mud-like when mixed with cleaning solutions.
Cleaning Solutions: Specialized cleaning solutions are applied to the tiles and grout lines. These solutions are formulated to break down and dissolve stains, grease, and grime that have adhered to the surface over time. The choice of cleaning solution depends on the type of tiles and the nature of the stains.
Agitation: In some cases, agitation methods such as scrubbing with brushes or machine scrubbers may be used to help loosen stubborn dirt and stains.
Grout Cleaning: Grout lines, which are porous and prone to staining, are given special attention. Grout cleaning may involve using high-pressure steam, scrubbing, or specialized grout cleaning solutions to remove discoloration and stains.
Rinsing: After the cleaning solutions have had time to work, the surfaces are thoroughly rinsed. This step removes any remaining residue and cleaning agents.
Drying: Proper drying is crucial to prevent mould or mildew growth. Fans or air movers may be used to accelerate the drying process.
Sealing: In some cases, especially for grout lines, a sealant may be applied to protect against future stains and make cleaning easier.
Inspection and Touch-up: After the cleaning and drying process, a final inspection is performed to ensure that the tiles and grout are restored to their best condition. Any remaining stains or areas that require further attention are addressed.
Final Presentation: The cleaned tiles and grout are presented to the client, and any recommendations for maintenance or future cleaning are provided.
Tile and grout cleaning is essential not only for aesthetic reasons but also for the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the area. Regular maintenance and professional cleaning can help prolong the life of tiled surfaces and keep them looking their best. It is often recommended to schedule periodic tile and grout cleaning to maintain the cleanliness and longevity of these surfaces.
