Many homeowners try to tackle tile and grout cleaning themselves, often reaching for store-bought cleaners from big-box retailers. Unfortunately, these solutions can sometimes do more harm than good—stripping away protective sealants, dulling finishes, and leaving your floors vulnerable to stains and damage.

Our professional team pays special attention to these areas, using specialized scrubbing methods and cleaning agents designed to break down years of buildup. We focus on both your tile and the grout in between, ensuring a consistent, refreshed appearance throughout your floors, backsplashes, showers, and tub surrounds.

Grout Sealing & Color Sealing
For grout that has become discolored or uneven, our color sealing service rejuvenates its appearance. We match the sealant to your desired shade, providing a consistent and fresh look throughout your tiled areas. The degree to which grout can be cleaned is largely a function of whether it has been properly sealed and maintained. In the event that grout does not look uniform after cleaning, a remedy is color sealing the grout. We offer a variety of colors and can even come to your home, free of charge, and apply a few color samples to your discolored grout in an inconspicuous area. After it dries within 24 hours, you can choose which color you like best. Then, it’s just a matter of ordering the necessary materials and scheduling a day to color seal your grout.

Deep Cleaning Tile Services
Deep Cleaning Tile Services We begin with a thorough inspection of your tile and grout to identify problem areas. Using specialized cleaning solutions and equipment, we eliminate dirt, bacteria, and stains, restoring the original luster of your surfaces. We use nonabrasive yet effective methods with adjustable heat and pressure for deep-down clean. We service tile and grout floors, shower walls, tub surrounds, hot tub surrounds, pool decks, table tops, and more in both residential and commercial properties throughout Austin, TX. Our process starts with the careful application of a pH-neutral cleaning solution that is safe for both children and pets. Special attention is given to pretreating stains, heavily soiled, or high-traffic areas to ensure nothing is overlooked. Next, we use professional-grade tools to meticulously scrub grout lines, focusing on any areas with stubborn discoloration or blemishes. This method allows us to maximize soil and stain removal without risking damage to your tile or grout, leaving your surfaces cleaner, brighter, and refreshed.
Tile and Grout Sealing
Post-cleaning, we apply a high-quality sealant to your grout lines. This barrier protects against future staining and moisture penetration, making routine cleaning more manageable and extending the longevity of your flooring. Sealing is often associated with natural stone tile, but the truth is that other types of tile need to be sealed. (And the grout too.) Grout Sealing not only helps to prevent stains but makes clean-up easier as well. Grime and water can seep into the nooks and crannies of unsealed tile and cause breakage and discoloration.

Why Ceramic and Porcelain Tile Need Special Care
Cleaning ceramic and porcelain tile isn’t as simple as grabbing any old mop or cleaner. While these surfaces are known for their beauty and durability, they’re also surprisingly sensitive. Everyday dirt digs into the tiniest pores, and harsh cleaning products or rough scrubbing can leave them dull or scratched.
That’s why a gentle but thorough approach matters. Our technicians are trained to identify the unique qualities of ceramic and porcelain tile—like their glazing, level of porosity, and finish—so we tailor each cleaning to protect your floors. The goal? To restore the original gloss and vibrant color, without risking chips or etching.
With careful, detail-oriented cleaning, your tile floors stay gorgeous and resilient—ready to handle whatever Austin life throws their way.
Are Professional Tile and Grout Cleaning Products Safe For Pets and Childeren
Absolutely, and it’s a question we take seriously—after all, our own furry friends and little ones roam these floors, too. The professional-grade solutions we use are thoughtfully chosen to be both effective and family-friendly.
Most well-regarded cleaning products these days are pH-neutral and free from harsh chemicals—meaning they’re gentle enough for households with pets and children. For example, trusted names like Bona and Aqua Mix manufacture cleaners and sealants specifically tested for indoor air quality and safety, giving families peace of mind.
Whenever we freshen up your tile and grout, we make sure to:
- Use baby-safe and pet-safe formulas throughout the cleaning process.
- Focus on pretreating any stubborn stains or high-traffic spots with non-toxic agents.
- Offer to seal your floors with water-based, low-odor protectants that won’t leave behind problematic residues.
In short, every product applied in your home is carefully selected to deliver sparkling results—without risking the wellbeing of your loved ones.
How to Get Ready for Your Tile and Grout Cleaning
We’ve found that just a few simple steps can make your tile and grout cleaning go smoothly—and help us achieve those sparkling results our clients rave about:
- Clear the Way: Remove any small items, rugs, or breakables from the floors we’ll be cleaning. If you have larger furniture on the tile areas (like chairs or end tables), moving them ahead of time lets us get straight to work.
- Secure Pets: For everyone’s safety, it’s best to keep curious pets in a separate room while we’re there.
- Point Out Troublespots: If you know of any stubborn stains, areas with loose grout, or pet accidents, let us know! We’ll make sure to give them extra care.
- Ask Questions: We’re happy to explain our process, estimate timing, and discuss any furniture we’ll need to move. Communication is key, and we want you comfortable with the whole experience.
That’s it—no heavy lifting or complicated prep! Just a little help at the start so we can focus on making your floors look fantastic.
