Cleaning your tile and grout lines helps keep the bacteria at bay and gives your floors and counters a fresh new look. While you can treat it as a DIY task, hiring Melbourne's tile and grout cleaning pros will ensure you get the job done correctly, quickly and without causing any damage. Grout lines can be pretty tricky to clean. They collect all sorts of dirt and bacteria and can get pretty gross over time. Fortunately, our professional tile and grout cleaners in Melbourne will be able to restore your tile and clean your grout from dirt, mould and bacteria, bringing your floor back to its former glory. Here's what the tile and grout cleaning service includes:

Assessment and prep

To get the area ready for treatment, your cleaner will move all the furniture and appliances out of the way (if manageable) and sweep or vacuum the floors to get them ready for cleaning. Once they identify the type of tile they're working with, they'll be able to choose the right kind of cleaning solution, so they don't damage your floor in the process. The first thing they'll do is identify the areas that need the most attention. These are typically the areas that receive the most traffic and are therefore in worse condition than the rest of your floor. The technicians will also check to see if your floor has been sealed or coated and determine the right cleaning solution for the grout depending on whether it's sanded, un-sanded or epoxy grout. If they spot any stains, they'll apply a special cleaning product that will be able to break those down before they start cleaning the tiles and grout. They'll apply a special grout cleaning solution and let it sit for 10-20 minutes, so it dissolves all the dirt, grime and mould that's accumulated over time.

Scrubbing

Once the surface is ready to be cleaned, your cleaner will use a scrub brush to get all the dirt out of the grout either manually or using a machine scrubber. Using this technique, they can take care of all the built-up grime and dust off your tiles and grout. They'll clean around all corners and baseboards until each surface has been thoroughly scrubbed and cleaned.

Rinsing

Once the entire area has been scrubbed, Melbourne's most trusted tile and grout cleaning technicians will rinse the whole area using a high-pressure cleaning and extraction system that cleans the floors and extracts the dirty water and chemicals off your floor. The machine washes the floor using hot water and captures the dirt and excess water along the way. This process minimises splashing and keeps the surrounding areas dry and clean.

Drying

Once your tile and grout have been thoroughly cleaned and rinsed, your cleaner will dry all tiled areas thoroughly, mainly focusing on the grout lines. Once the grout is dry, you may choose to seal it using colour seal protection that will help keep your grout looking clean and bright for an extended period of time. This is an additional service that you may request ahead of time, and your tech will apply the sealant once the grout is thoroughly dry.
