Why does mopping not clean grout?
Grout is porous and sits a little lower than the tile, so a mop pushes dirty water into the lines and leaves it there. Over time the grout turns gray or dark even when the tile looks fine.
How do you clean it?
We pre-treat the floor, work the grout lines, then rinse and extract the dirty water instead of leaving it on the floor. The floor dries quickly afterward. Kitchens, bathrooms, entries and the big open tile floors common in newer homes all clean the same way.
Natural stone needs different care
Marble, travertine and other natural stone are damaged by acidic cleaners that are fine on ceramic and porcelain. If your floor is stone, tell us when you book and we will confirm how we will clean it before we quote.
