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.

Surface-Specific Cleaning

From ceramic and porcelain to natural stone and hard flooring, every surface has unique cleaning requirements. Natural stone like marble and travertine can be etched by acidic cleaners. Glazed ceramics need different pressure than unglazed pavers. Our IICRC-certified technicians identify each surface type and select the correct chemistry, pressure and technique.
