Our Winning Tile Cleaning Process
1. Inspection: We assess the type of tile and the condition of the grout to determine the best cleaning approach. For floors, if you have VCT with a lot of wax build up, we may recommend stripping.
2. Pre-Treatment: We apply a specialized alkaline cleaning solution to break down grease, dirt, and mildew buildup on the tile and within the grout lines.
3. Agitation: For heavily soiled areas, we use specialized brushes and equipment to agitate the cleaning solution and loosen stubborn grime.
4. High-Pressure Rinse and Extraction: Our powerful truck-mounted system uses high-pressure hot water to blast away the loosened dirt and grime, while simultaneously extracting the dirty water. This ensures a deep clean of both the tile surface and the grout lines.
5. Grout Sealing (Optional): To help prevent future staining and make maintenance easier, we offer a grout sealing service. This penetrates the porous grout and creates a protective barrier.
Why You Need Pro Tile and Grout Cleaning
Your beautiful tile floors and surfaces deserve more than just routine mopping. Over time, dirt, grime, and bacteria become embedded in porous grout lines and microscopic tile imperfections that regular cleaning simply can't reach.
Andrew's professional tile cleaning uses specialized equipment and commercial-grade solutions to extract deep-seated contaminants, restoring your surfaces to their original luster. Not only does this dramatically improve appearance, but it also extends the life of your investment by preventing deterioration and costly repairs.
Simply put, a professional tile cleaning service like ours eliminates harmful allergens and mold growth, creating a healthier environment for your family or customers.
Extend the Life of Your Tiled Surfaces
Did you know that even properly sealed grout breaks down over time, allowing moisture and dirt to penetrate beneath your tiles? This hidden damage can lead to loose tiles, cracked grout, and even structural issues if left unaddressed.
Our IICRC-certified cleaners don't just clean—they inspect for early warning signs of damage and can apply fresh sealant to protect against future staining and water damage.
As goes with all cleaning services, establishing a regular tile maintenance schedule is far more economical than dealing with extensive repairs or replacement down the road.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How soon can we schedule our tile cleaning?
If you're not already on a recurring plan, the best way to schedule service in advance is to book online, but if you need more urgent servicing, we recommend calling in for availability. We can typically get to your property same-day if you call before noon, however, there may be an up-charge, especially for emergency cleaning services after hours.
Do you offer any satisfaction guarantees or warranties?
Yes! If you're not satisfied with the result we'll do everything we can to make it right within reason, including complimentary re-treatment. However, in rare cases, there are some stains that just can't be removed completely, but we'll do our best to inform you of this during the inspection phase.
Are your technicians background-checked and insured?
Yup! When you work with Andrews, you often get to work directly with the owner. So we have true a vested interest in the end result.
How often should I have my tile & grout cleaned?
We generally recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months, but this can vary based on usage and how well it's maintained.
Can you accommodate with fragrance-free products?
Yes, we can accommodate for allergies or for those sensitive to certain fragrances! Plus, all of our cleaning products are family and pet-safe as well as eco-friendly.
How long does it take for the new wax to dry?
Each coat of wax usually dries in about 20-60 minutes. After the final coat, the floor may be ready for light foot traffic in a few hours, but it's best to allow 12-24 hours for it to fully cure before resuming heavy traffic or moving furniture back.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
We ask for 24-48 hours' notice for cancellations and rescheduling to allow time to adjust schedules and potentially fill the vacant time slot.
Do I need to move anything before you come?
Yes, please remove any loose items from the area to be cleaned.
Will it really get my grout clean? It looks really bad?
Our professional process is designed to remove years of buildup, often restoring grout color, but heavily stained grout may not return to its original pristine condition.
How long does the grout sealant last?
The lifespan of grout sealant depends on traffic and maintenance, but it typically lasts for several years.
