What Dirty Grout Needs
Grout is porous, like a hard sponge. Mop water, cooking grease, spills and dirt soak into it, and a mop can push dirty water deeper into the grout lines. That is why grout can look dark or stained even when you clean often. Getting it clean takes scrubbing action and a way to pull the dirty water back out. Cleaning your carpet too? See our steam carpet cleaning.
Enclosed Rinse and Extraction
Scrubbing plus suction that pulls the dirty water out
Our Tile and Grout Process
Surface Check
We look at the tile type and the condition of the grout, and note any cracked or loose grout.
Pre-Treatment
An eco-friendly pH cleaner goes on to loosen grease, oils and soil.
Brush Agitation
We scrub the grout lines and tile to lift embedded grime.
Rinse and Extraction
An enclosed tool and strong suction pull the dirty water straight out, which helps keep water off walls and cabinets.
Optional Grout Sealing
If sealing makes sense for your floor, ask Dan about it.
Final Walkthrough
We go over the results with you before we leave.
Natural Stone Cleaning
Natural stone such as travertine, marble and slate needs different care than ceramic tile. The wrong product can dull or etch the surface. We check the stone first, use non-acidic cleaners, and test a small hidden area before we start. If you are not sure what your floor is, call Dan before you book.
Surfaces We Clean
Ceramic and Porcelain
The most common tile in homes.
Travertine and Limestone
Porous natural stone that needs gentle care.
Marble and Slate
Natural stone cleaned with products that suit it.
Showers and Backsplashes
Vertical tile and grout in showers, tub surrounds and kitchens.
Grout Sealing
Sealer helps grout resist spills and staining after it has been cleaned. It is optional, and it does not make sense for every floor. Ask Dan whether sealing is right for yours.
What It Costs
The price depends on the square footage, the type of tile, how dirty the grout is, and whether you add sealing. Dan gives you a clear quote before the work starts. Call Dan or send the form and he will call you back during business hours.

Tile & Grout Cleaning FAQs
A household steam cleaner can lift light dirt from sealed, lightly soiled grout. It often struggles with deep stains and heavy buildup, and too much heat or pressure can damage some grout and natural stone. For older or very dirty grout, professional cleaning with scrubbing and extraction usually goes further.
Grout cleaning is slow, hands-on work. Grout lines are narrow and porous, and the job takes scrubbing, extraction and careful drying. The price depends on the square footage, how dirty the grout is, the tile type and whether you add sealing. Dan quotes the job before he starts, so you know the price up front.
Dish soap can help with light grease on sealed tile, but it can leave a film that attracts more dirt, and it does not clean deep inside porous grout. Rinse well if you use it, and check before you use it on natural stone.
Hydrogen peroxide can lighten some light stains on grout. It is not a deep cleaner, and it can affect some colored grout and natural stone. Test a small hidden spot first.
The best method depends on the grout, the tile and how dirty it is. For light dirt, a pH neutral cleaner and a stiff brush help. For deep or old grime, grout needs scrubbing and a way to extract the dirty water. Keep acidic cleaners such as vinegar off natural stone. If you are not sure, call Dan.
