Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What is the pricing structure for the services of stripping, cleaning, and sealing grout?
• A: At Tile Cleaning, we follow a per square meter pricing structure for stripping, cleaning, and sealing grout in each separate room. To provide transparency and convenience, we have a price list available on our website for you to review. Prior to commencing any work, our team will measure each room individually and discuss the specific tasks to be performed. We will also ensure that all costs are confirmed with you, so there are no surprises along the way. Our aim is to provide clarity and clarity when it comes to pricing, ensuring your satisfaction with our services.
• Q: What are the components of a proper grout maintenance routine?
• A: A comprehensive grout maintenance routine generally involves two key steps: stripping and cleaning, followed by resealing. It is advisable to perform these tasks at least once every year or two, particularly in commercial areas that experience heavy foot traffic, where an annual cleaning schedule is recommended. By implementing this routine, you can effectively maintain the condition and longevity of your grout, ensuring its cleanliness and durability over time.
• 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: Does Tile Cleaning utilize a truck-mounted cleaning machine in their cleaning processes?
• A: Tile Cleaning may use a truck-mounted cleaning machine in certain situations, taking into account the size and requirements of the job. The equipment is capable of generating pressure ranging from 1500 to 3000 psi. However, it is important to note that we adjust the pressure according to the specific type of tile and grout being treated. This precautionary measure is crucial to prevent any potential damage. Using the incorrect pressure can result in the formation of small cracks in the grout joint or exacerbate existing cracks. By carefully adjusting the pressure, we ensure that the cleaning process is effective while safeguarding the integrity of your grout and tile surfaces.
