Natural Stone Restoration, Cleaning and Sealing
Austin is built on limestone and largely built with it. Between local stone, the travertine in thousands of West Austin homes and marble throughout the historic districts, we see more soft, acid-sensitive stone than most areas ever encounter.
The softness of stone allows dull marks to be etched in that regular cleaning can’t remove, because it’s damage, not dirt. We repair, polish and hone the stone then seal it to truly restore your floor.
We fix: etching · dull traffic lanes · holes and cracks in travertine · uneven limestone finishes · hard-water film in stone showers
Tile and Grout Cleaning in Austin + Sealing Options
Austin’s hard water is loaded with dissolved minerals. That’s why mopping leaves a film that grabs soil and deposits it into the grout. Add Central Texas clay, cedar and oak pollen, and grout that was never sealed will look tired eighteen months after move-in.
Standard cleaning can’t fix it. Our professional services will pull buildup out of the grout and extract it while cleaning. We can then seal grout or color seal it if staining is permanent.

Wood Floor Cleaning in Austin, TX + Sealing
Central Austin hides some of the city’s best floors under some of its worst finishes. We regularly find 1920s longleaf pine and quarter-sawn oak buried in wax, oil soap and acrylic “restorer” that darkens with every coat.
We remove that residue instead of adding to it using specialty cleaning and sealing techniques that bring life back to tired wood floors.
Carpet Cleaning in Austin + Rugs and Upholstery
Carpet and fabrics are going to collect dirt and dust, but in the Austin metro allergens are also a problem. Cedar, oak and ashe juniper pollen rides in on shoes, clothes and pets then settles into fibers making allergies worse indoors than out.
Terrazzo Specialty Services
Terrazzo shows up in Austin’s mid-century homes in Allandale, Crestview, Windsor Park and University Hills, and older institutional buildings downtown. Often the unique beauty of the terrazzo is covered by yellowed wax.
We return terrazzo to its original form by honing and polishing the material to a natural finish, then sealing. No wax, no yellowing, better-looking than the waxed version ever was.

From High-Rise Condos to Historic Bungalows
Downtown High-Rises
Most floor care companies avoid downtown because they don’t want to manage freight elevator reservations, HOA insurance certificates, protecting common-area finishes and reaching a unit no truck-mounted hose will ever get to.
Santa Fe Floor Care is among the few Austin area floor cleaners that have experience with high-rise flooring restoration. If you own a condo near Rainey Street, the 2nd Street District, Seaholm or the Market District, we can restore your floors.
Historic Bungalows
The 1920s and ’30s homes in Hyde Park, Travis Heights and Clarksville were once newly built with pristine floors. One hundred years later, preserving those original floors takes care and attention.
Historic floors require finesse. The wrong product on original pine, small-format tile or a stone hearth causes damage you can’t undo to materials you can’t replace. We start with the gentlest method that will actually work, test it first and tell you honestly when a surface should be left alone.
Between those extremes sits the rest of Austin — the ’70s ranch homes with travertine added in 2004, the East Austin reno with three flooring types in 500 square feet and Hill Country estates that are custom from the floors up.

FAQs About Our Floor Cleaning in Austin, TX
Do you serve downtown Austin high-rise condos?
Yes. We carry the insurance documentation HOAs require, coordinate freight elevator access, protect common areas and use portable equipment on upper floors. We have a few floor cleaning case studies that feature tile and grout cleaning in Austin high-rise buildings.
Do you offer tile and wood floor cleaning in Austin, TX for original materials in historic homes?
Yes, and it’s a large part of our work in Hyde Park, Travis Heights and Clarksville. Original pine and oak wood floors are usually buried in wax and acrylic buildup, which we remove rather than cover. Older small-format tile responds well to professional grout cleaning, and color sealing evens out permanently stained grout. On historic materials we come up with custom solutions and always test first.
Why does grout get dirty so fast in Austin?
Hard water is the biggest issue. Austin’s water supply comes from the Colorado River and Highland Lakes, running through Hill Country limestone. It carries a heavy mineral load. Every mopping session adds a thin film onto the floor and into the grout, and that film holds soil. Grout is porous cement, so it absorbs what mopping leaves behind. When you add tracked-in clay and seasonal pollen, unsealed grout discolors within a year or two. Extraction removes the buildup, and sealing keeps it from coming back as fast.
What areas of Austin do you cover?
