Cleaning and sealing your grout and tile is the best decision you can make for enhancing the appearance of your home. Chances are that you have some questions about the process though, and you’re not alone! If you’re wondering how tile and grout cleaning San Diego works and why it’s important, check out some of these frequently asked questions:
Q: Why is tile & grout cleaning necessary?
A: Over time, dirt and grime will build up deep inside your grout & tile leading to severe discoloration. And despite your best efforts, the only way to fully restore their appearance is to have them professionally cleaned.
Q: How does the cleaning process work?
A: Deep-cleaning tile & grout requires extreme water pressure. We utilize a high-pressure rotary tool with rotating water jets along with special cleaners made specifically for this process. This is the only way to effectively remove embedded dirt, grime, and any waxy buildup that’s accumulated since your last cleaning.
Q: What are the benefits of sealing grout lines?
A: If you’ve ever taken a close look at them, your grout lines are extremely porous. That means they tend to absorb spilled liquids quickly, which leads to staining that can’t be removed without professional cleaning service. What sealing does is create a barrier of protection over you grout which repels dirt and liquids, allowing you enough time to clean the mess before it completely soaks in.
Q: How long does tile floor cleaning take?
A:Â The amount of time it takes to clean your tile floors can vary depending on how dirty the grout lines are, the layout of the room, and the size of the tiles themselves. An average-size room will take roughly 30-60 minutes for tile floor cleaning. If you decide to have them sealed as well, the process will take around two to three hours from start to finish.
Q: How long should I wait between floor cleanings?
A: Unlike an oil change in your car, there is no set timetable for how often you should have your floors professionally cleaned. The frequency depends on how much foot traffic you have in a certain area, and whether you have children or pets living in your home. You’ll have to decide for yourself just how much dirt and staining you can take before you call the cleaning and sealing experts at Seal Team One!
