Can you restore discoloured and blackened grout?

Yes. Our professional tile and grout cleaning process uses high-pressure hot water extraction combined with specialist grout cleaning chemistry to lift embedded dirt, grime, and discolouration from grout lines. In most cases, we can restore grout to near-original colour. For permanently stained grout, we also offer grout colour sealing to restore a uniform appearance.

Do you seal grout after cleaning?

Yes. We apply a professional-grade penetrating grout sealer after cleaning to protect against future staining, moisture penetration, and mould growth. Sealer is applied once the grout is fully dry and typically lasts 2–3 years depending on traffic and cleaning frequency. We recommend re-sealing every 12–24 months for high-traffic areas.

Is your tile cleaning safe for natural stone surfaces?

Absolutely. We use pH-neutral, stone-safe cleaning solutions for marble, granite, travertine, limestone, and other natural stone surfaces. Our technicians are trained to identify stone types and select the appropriate cleaning method — never using acidic or alkaline cleaners that can etch or damage natural stone.

How long does tile and grout cleaning take?

A typical residential tile and grout cleaning takes 2–4 hours depending on the area size and soiling level. Our truck-mounted system delivers faster, more thorough cleaning than portable units. Floors are walkable in clean socks within 1–2 hours, but we recommend waiting 24 hours before wet mopping to allow the sealer to fully cure.

How often should I have my tiles professionally cleaned?

For most households, we recommend professional tile and grout cleaning every 12–18 months. High-traffic areas like kitchens, entryways, and bathrooms may benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months. Regular professional cleaning prevents grout discolouration and extends the life of your tiled surfaces.

Can you clean and polish hard flooring surfaces?

Yes. We clean and maintain a full range of hard flooring surfaces including vinyl, linoleum, polished concrete, timber, and laminate. Our services include deep cleaning, stripping and re-sealing, and polish application tailored to each flooring type to restore appearance and protect against wear.

Restoring Outdoor Hard Surfaces

Outdoor tiles and pavers are exposed to the elements year-round. Mould, algae, efflorescence (white salt deposits), tannin stains from leaves and UV fading all take their toll. Left untreated, these contaminants not only look unsightly but can also make surfaces slippery and dangerous.

Our professional outdoor surface cleaning uses high-pressure extraction to remove years of built-up contamination, followed by protective sealing and optional anti-slip treatment to keep your outdoor areas safe, clean and looking their best.

Outdoor Problems We Solve

Mould & Algae

Slippery green and black growth on pavers and pool surrounds. We remove it at the source with high-pressure extraction.

Efflorescence & Salt

White mineral deposits that leach from grout and concrete. We remove efflorescence and apply sealer to prevent recurrence.

Slippery Surfaces

Wet outdoor surfaces can be dangerous. Our anti-slip treatment improves traction on pool surrounds and wet areas.

Tannin & Leaf Stains

Brown stains from leaves and organic matter. We remove them safely without damaging the surface.

Our Outdoor Surface Cleaning Process

Surface Identification

We identify the surface type — concrete, stone, porcelain, ceramic or pavers — to select the correct pressure and chemistry.

Pre-Treatment

Specialist outdoor pre-spray is applied to break down mould, algae, efflorescence and organic staining.

High-Pressure Extraction

Our system blasts and extracts at high pressure — removing dislodged contamination in one contained pass.

Efflorescence Treatment

Where present, we apply specialist efflorescence remover to dissolve white salt deposits from the surface.

Sealing & Protection

A penetrating sealer is applied to protect against future staining, moisture and mould. Optional anti-slip treatment for wet areas.

Final Inspection

We walk through the results with you. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on every job.

Slip Safety for Pool Surrounds

Wet outdoor surfaces are a slip hazard. Our anti-slip treatment improves traction on pool surrounds, outdoor pavers and wet areas — protecting your family and guests without changing the appearance of the surface.
