Tile and Grout Cleaning Phoenix metro area

Tile and Grout Cleaning - has made significant technological advancements since the old days of "hand-scrubbing on you knees." The Turbo-Force attachment ($1,500) hooked to the truck-mounted van system allows for heat and pressure up to 1200 psi getting even the most difficult stains from grout or tile. When finished your floor can look like new!

There are four (4) main types of tiles each requiring knowledge of their characteristics and cleaning specifications:

1. Man-Made Ceramic or Porcelain - follow a similar pattern per tile or across 4 tiles and are hard high-fired in nature. Italian Quarry Tile (hard red) are found in most commercial kitchens, bakeries and meat processing facilities and require the same cleaning methods.
   
   
2. Natural Stones - have endless varieties of colors and textures with no two tiles alike and are "soft" in nature, porous and can be easily scratched and appear dull over time. These include:
• Sandstone
• Limestone
• Travertine
• Marble
• Slate
• Granite
  
  
3. Satillo / Mexican Tiles - come in many grades of hardness, quality & shape and are extremely porous, even with a glaze-fired or heavily sealed service can be easily chipped and show traffic wear over time.
   
   
4. Vinyl Tile - typically are vinyl bodied with a clear acrylic top layer always showing some texture usually installed using a mastic or peel-n-stick adhesive.

Cleaning & Repair of Grout requires knowledge of their characteristics and color to ensure an even consistent look throughout. Our professionally trained technicians and tile installers know and understand common types of Grouts including different additives and bonders. These may include:

• Sanded Lime-Based - are the most common grouts used on Satillo, Italian Quarry Tile and Natural Stones with grits varying in size to create a rough or smooth textured look.
• Unsanded Lime-Based - although less common are always used where grout joints are tight and narrow as found in Marble, Travertine, Granite and Porcelain tiles (i.e., commercial restrooms).
• Unsanded Epoxy-Based - due to the tendency to shrink, it is most commonly used in narrow joints such as Granite countertops and Marble or Granite flooring.

Color-based and Clear coat sealers are available to preserve the new clean look and will double the time between the need for additional cleanings.
