Frequently Asked Questions

Other FAQs :

• Q: What measures can I take to preserve the appearance of my grout and keep it looking fresh?
• A: To maintain the pristine appearance of your tiles and grout, Tile Cleaners® suggests a few important steps. First and foremost, we recommend sealing your grout lines using our highly effective water-based impregnating grout sealer, Deepshield™ Penetrating Grout Sealer. This proven product helps protect your grout from stains and discoloration, keeping it looking fresh. Additionally, we advise regular weekly cleaning using a damp microfiber cloth and a mild detergent. This gentle cleaning routine helps eliminate dirt and grime from the tiled surface without compromising the integrity of the sealer. It's crucial to avoid using strong detergents with acidic or alkaline properties, as they may negatively affect the sealer. Instead, opt for mild detergents and pH-neutral substances for optimal results. By following these guidelines, you can effectively preserve the appearance and longevity of your grout, ensuring it stays looking new for years to come.
• Q: What steps should I take to prepare for the grout cleaning process?
• A: To facilitate the grout cleaning process and ensure our ability to effectively clean and restore your grout, it is necessary for you to prepare the area beforehand. This involves moving all furniture and items off the floor, allowing us unobstructed access to the grout. By taking this step and ensuring a clear workspace, we can efficiently carry out the cleaning procedure upon our arrival.
• Q: Can grout recolouring make my grout lighter?
• A: Yes, your existing grout can be re-coloured to a lighter or darker shade of your existing grout or a different colour altogether to match your changing decor.
• 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 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.
