Before and After Tile and Grout Cleaning
Tile and Grout Steam Cleaning
Grout Cleaning
A homeowner in West Lake Hills, TX contacted Santa Fe Floor Care of Austin to restore their stained and discolored tile floors. Over time, everyday traffic and residue from improper cleaning products had left the grout lines dark and uneven. Our team performed a professional tile and grout cleaning and sealing service, transforming the space into a cleaner, brighter, and healthier environment.
The Problem
This client’s tile flooring—once a highlight of their West Lake Hills home—had lost its luster. The grout lines were heavily soiled, and the tiles had accumulated grime from years of buildup. Regular mopping and over-the-counter cleaners were no longer effective.
The homeowner wanted a deep-cleaned, sanitized, and protected floor that could stay clean longer between maintenance visits. They also wanted to avoid harsh chemicals and achieve professional-level results without damaging their tile or grout.
Our Process
At Santa Fe Floor Care of Austin, we use specialized equipment and eco-friendly cleaning agents to safely remove dirt and bacteria from tile and grout surfaces. Our process goes beyond simple mopping—it’s a deep restorative treatment designed to clean and protect.
-
Pre-Inspection and Testing
We started with a thorough inspection of the tile and grout to identify problem areas, stains, and the best cleaning method. -
Eco-Friendly Pre-Treatment
We applied a pH-neutral cleaning solution formulated specifically for tile and grout. This loosened deep-seated soil, oils, and contaminants without harming the grout or surrounding surfaces. -
Hot Water Extraction Cleaning
Using professional-grade hot water extraction equipment, we deep cleaned the tile and grout lines under controlled pressure. This step safely removed embedded dirt and bacteria that household cleaning can’t reach. -
Detail Cleaning and Spot Treatment
Stubborn grout stains were treated with precision tools to restore uniform color and brightness across all surfaces. -
Sealing and Protection
Once the floor was completely dry, we applied a penetrating grout sealer to protect against future staining and moisture absorption. This helps maintain cleanliness and makes ongoing care easier for the homeowner. -
Final Rinse and Dry Buffing
To ensure no residue remained, we neutralized the floor and completed a final buffing, leaving the tile clean, smooth, and refreshed.
Throughout the process, we prioritized eco-friendly products and non-toxic cleaning methods, ensuring the home stayed safe for both people and pets.
The Results
The difference was immediate and dramatic. The tile regained its original brightness, and the grout lines looked crisp and clean once again. The new grout sealer added a subtle sheen and provided long-term protection against spills and soiling.
Customer Feedback:
“Santa Fe Floor Care exceeded our expectations! The grout was almost black before, and now it looks brand new. The whole floor feels cleaner and brighter than ever.”
The homeowner was thrilled—not only with the appearance but with the reassurance that their floors were now protected, hygienic, and easier to maintain.
