Grout Cleaning

Dingy grout makes a whole floor or wall look dirty, even when the tile is spotless — and most of the time the culprit is the wrong product or method. Here are the four things to know about cleaning grout, and when to hand it to a pro.

Cleaning Products & Method — Grout cleaning goes wrong two ways: the wrong product or the wrong method. A chemical too harsh for your grout and tile can scar stone, leave residue, stain, or strip the sealer — and the wrong technique just pushes soil around instead of lifting it. Test a small area first; if it works, proceed. Most grout needs rinsing and re-protection after a deep clean.

Grout's Dirty Little Secret — Three things make grout hard to clean: it's the lowest point in the tile assembly, so everything settles into it (and wiping a floor pushes soil right into the lines); it's usually textured, with microscopic pockets that trap soil; and it's porous, so even sealed grout can stain if the wrong sealer was used or it has worn off. Grout challenges even us sometimes.

Why a Pro Is Worth It — Think of your mechanic: your grout needs the right care and the right products, too. You wouldn't wash your hair with dishwasher soap, yet people use the wrong grout cleaner all the time. When the grout gets the better of you, that's exactly when our grout-cleaning service pays for itself.

Why Repair Instead of Replace

Scrubbing never wins against porous grout. Professional cleaning plus color sealing gives a lasting result that DIY can't — and costs far less than re-grouting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is color sealing?

A durable, tinted seal applied over cleaned grout. It unifies the color and repels stains, so grout stays clean and wipes down easily.

Can you change my grout color?

Yes. Color sealing lets you keep the current shade or shift to a new one without removing grout.
