Tile Service & Repair
Stone and ceramic floor grout cleaning as a contractor we all agree on one thing - you can scrub the tile portion of your tile floors all day long, but getting those grout lines clean is the most important task in keeping your floor looking new and beautiful. Cleaning grout can be a tedious job. Whether you have a porcelain, ceramic, marble, granite, travertine, terrazzo, or slate, the maintenance required to maintain your tile's beauty while keeping the grout clean requires a delicate balancing act. Microscopic pores in the grout allow dirt and other contaminants to become trapped below the surface, where it can't be removed by regular mopping. With the right cleaners, sealers, tools and know-how, your tile and grout surfaces can be just as beautiful as the day they were first installed.
Kitchen and bathroom floors take a beating every day. These are two of most-used floors in a house and they can quickly become dirty, dingy, and old looking. Surprisingly, it's probably not the tile t
hat's making the floor look so old and worn, it's the grout. Grout is the gritty, porous substance in between the tiles that holds everything together and gives your tiled surface a finished look. If cleaning your grout isn't restoring your grout to its original color, re-grouting the grout lines may be all that's needed to make your floors sparkle once again.
Because grout is absorbent, it is prone to absorbing anything that falls on it including dirt, water, and other liquids. The older your grout gets the more deep set-in stains you'll have. This is when re-grouting floor tile will be necessary to get back that clean look you're after. Steamforce will clean and re-grout your grout lines and seal them to extend their life through years of daily wear and tear.
Expectations from Your Contractor
You might think that re-grouting your grout lines is as easy as just slopping some new grout on top of the existing grout. In reality, this is not the case. The first step is to completely clean the grout on the floor. Steamforce will do this with special cleansers that can kill any bacteria lurking in your grout. Next, he or she will dry the floor thoroughly and begin to scrape out the old grout that you want to replace. In order to avoid scraping your tile, your contractor will scrape away from the tile. He or she will then wipe the area with a damp cloth so that dust and grime doesn't litter the grooves between your tiles.
