Tile and Grout Cleaning
Heavy traffic, dust, and dirt tracked in will make any tile floor dirty over time. Once the tile surface gets dirty, mopping is the main culprit which transfers the dirt from the tile surface to the "valley" of the grout lines. Most floors have sanded grout in between the tiles and this further compounds the issue as the dirt tends to grab on to this uneven surface.
We are often asked how often floors should be cleaned and sealed. There is not a perfect answer to this, however, we generally recommend they be cleaned every 1-3 years. All families have different lifestyles and the amount of traffic, children, and animals all determine how often a floor should be cleaned. Regular cleaning prevents the dirt from becoming deeply embedded in the grout lines and ensures more desirable results.
The example below is a floor we cleaned just under 2 years ago and you can see how dirty it was. This client has now asked us to contact them annually to keep their floors looking good
