Tile and grout cleaning in San Rafael, CA

Grout drinks up whatever crosses it, and in a damp region it darkens first. Tell us which floors and which tile, and we plan the cleaning to suit the surface.

Tile is only half the job

The tile face wipes clean easily. The grout between is porous, so it picks up dirt, damp and spills, and it often darkens first in humid corners and busy entries.

Share what the tile is made of and where it lies, and we choose an approach that suits both the tile and the grout.

Questions about Tile and Grout Cleaning

Can dark grout return to its original color?

Often it improves a lot, but some grout is stained too deeply to match its first shade. We look at it in person and tell you what is a fair expectation.

Is natural stone treated differently from ceramic?

Yes. Natural stone can be sensitive to certain products, so tell us what you have. We confirm the surface first and adjust the approach before cleaning anything.

Do you clean shower tile as well as floors?

Yes, when the surface is suitable. Mention the area when you call and we agree what to include, including any spots that need a closer look.
