Walk-through & evaluation
We identify the tile type (ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone), check for loose or cracked tiles, and talk through any spots that concern you. Price confirmed before we start — no surprises.
Truck-mounted power-wash at up to 1500 PSI and 210–230°F, contained spinner extraction, and optional penetrating sealer to keep the floor cleaner, longer. Residential and commercial.
Grout is porous. Every time you mop, you push dirty water into those lines and the soil stays behind when the water evaporates. That's why grout gets darker no matter how often you clean it — and why DIY sprays and brushes top out at a surface-level refresh.
We come in with a truck-mounted power-wash system — water at up to 1,500 PSI and 210–230°F — and a 14" spinner tool that contains the spray and vacuums the dirty water straight into a containment tank. Nothing gets sprayed on your walls or baseboards. Grout typically comes back to 80–90% of its original color in one visit, and a penetrating sealer after the clean keeps it that way.
Enough heat and pressure to lift what DIY can't reach — without damaging tile or grout.
The difference between a deep tile clean and a surface wipe-down is heat, pressure, and the ability to extract the dirty water before it goes back into the grout. Our system handles all three — inside a vacuum-sealed tool that leaves your walls and baseboards untouched.
Here's exactly what happens when we show up for a tile & grout job — residential or commercial.
We identify the tile type (ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone), check for loose or cracked tiles, and talk through any spots that concern you. Price confirmed before we start — no surprises.
Loose soil, pet hair, and debris are removed before any moisture touches the floor. Dry dirt is easier to remove — and keeps it out of the grout.
An alkaline cleaning solution matched to your tile type goes down first. It sits and works on the cooking oil residue, traffic soil, and mop-water buildup — this is where the cleaning actually happens.
The 14" spinner runs across the floor at 1,500 PSI and 210–230°F. A vacuum hood confines the spray and pulls dirty water straight into a containment tank on the truck. No spray on your walls.
Corners, edges, baseboards, and stubborn stains get worked by hand. We'll also tell you honestly if a stain is permanently dyed into the grout (red wine, Kool-Aid, hair dye) and won't come all the way out.
Neutral pH rinse removes any solution residue so the floor stays cleaner after we leave. Walkable in about an hour — heavy furniture back after the sealer cures, if you add one.
The grout on the right looks like it did when it was installed. On the left, years of mopping and traffic had compounded. No bleach, no magic — just the process above.
We'd rather tell you up front than take on a floor we can't do justice to. Here's where our process works, and where we'll point you somewhere else.

The best time to seal is right after a professional cleaning, when grout pores are open and free of soil. A penetrating sealer creates a barrier that makes liquids, oils, and soils sit on top of the surface so they wipe right off.
For synthetic tiles — ceramic and porcelain. The tile face itself is non-porous, so only the grout lines need protection.
For natural stone — travertine, slate, limestone, marble. The stone itself is porous, so the whole floor gets sealed: tile face and grout.
Commercial tile sees more traffic, more grease, more water, and far less forgiving daylight than residential. Same process, scaled: multi-disc runs, containment on high-gloss finishes, and after-hours scheduling so we're out by the time your doors open.
No. Saltillo and other clay-based tiles need a different process and a different set of finishes than our system is built for. We'd rather point you to a specialist who does them right than force-fit our process.
No. Polishing is a separate specialty — it needs dedicated machinery and abrasive compounds that aren't part of our system. We focus on deep-cleaning and restoration. If your floor specifically needs polishing, we'll tell you and point you to someone who does it well.
Most will. A few won't. Grout is porous and some liquids — red wine, Kool-Aid, dye-based drinks, hair dye — can permanently dye the grout itself. We can typically restore tile and grout to about 80–90% of its original luster in one visit, and we'll tell you what to expect before we start.
It comes down to the tile. For synthetic tiles (ceramic and porcelain), the tile face itself is non-porous — only the grout needs protection, so we seal just the grout lines. For natural stone (travertine, slate, limestone, marble), the stone itself is porous, so we seal the entire floor — both the tile face and the grout.
You can, but DIY sealers often leave sticky residues that end up trapping soil instead of repelling it. A properly applied penetrating sealer soaks into the grout, forms an invisible barrier, and lets spills bead up on the surface so they wipe right off. And never wax — wax breaks down over time, flakes, and discolors, and has to be stripped before any real cleaning can happen.
About an hour for normal foot traffic. If we apply a sealer at the end, plan a few extra hours before heavy furniture goes back — the sealer needs time to cure fully. We'll walk you through timing at the end of the visit.
