Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: Does Tile Cleaning employ chemical cleaners in their cleaning processes?
• A: In certain cleaning scenarios, the use of a chemical cleaner may be necessary as a pre-treatment. However, it's important to note that the chemical cleaner employed by Tile Cleaning contains no acid or bleach, as these ingredients can cause long-term damage to your grout. Following the application of the chemical solution, our vapor technology is utilized to remove discoloration and eliminate any residual chemical residue from the grout joints. It is worth mentioning that in cases where the grout is old and significantly discolored, there might be instances where we need to use chemicals that contain a minimal amount of bleach or acid. Rest assured, our aim is always to prioritize the safety and preservation of your grout while achieving the best possible cleaning outcomes.
• Q: Is it possible to achieve a lighter color for my grout through the process of grout recoloring?
• A: Absolutely! Grout recoloring offers the flexibility to lighten or darken the color of your existing grout. Whether you prefer a lighter shade or a darker tone, the process allows for a wide range of color options. You can choose to match the new grout color closely to your existing grout or opt for an entirely different color to complement any changes in your decor. The versatility of grout recoloring ensures that you have the freedom to achieve the desired look and feel for your tiled surfaces.
• Q: What are the advantages of using grout cleaner and vapor cleaning instead of simply scrubbing the grout with a brush and mop?
• A: The use of grout cleaner and vapor cleaning offers distinct advantages over simply scrubbing the grout with a brush and mopping it clean. When grout is only mopped after applying cleaner, the excess cleaner is not fully absorbed, resulting in residue left within the pores of the grout. This residual cleaner can disrupt the pH level of the floor, potentially creating an environment that attracts dirt and grime even after the cleaning process is complete. In contrast, the vapor cleaning method ensures the complete removal of the cleaner from the grout, leaving it in a pH neutral state. This approach promotes a thorough and long-lasting clean, minimizing the risk of residue buildup and maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of your grout over time.
• Q: Is it noticeable if grout has been recolored?
• A: After undergoing the recoloring process, your grout will appear refreshed and devoid of any color variations. The color sealer utilized is a penetrating type, which allows it to bond with the silica in the grout joint while maintaining the grout's natural appearance. Unlike some topical color sealers available in the market that can make the grout look painted, the penetrating color sealer ensures a more authentic and seamless result. With the recoloring process, you can expect your grout to have a revitalized and uniform look, as if it were brand new.
• Q: What is the typical duration for completing an estimate with Tile Cleaners?
• A: In the majority of cases, Tile Cleaners® can provide an approximate quote or estimate over the phone within a time frame of 5 to 10 minutes. We understand the importance of efficiency and aim to promptly provide you with pricing information for your project. Additionally, on the day the job is scheduled, our team will inspect the area to be serviced and confirm the quote, ensuring your final approval before commencing any work. This approach allows us to maintain transparency and ensures that you are comfortable with the agreed-upon pricing before we begin the cleaning process.
