Tile & Grout Cleaning
Tile faces are only part of the floor. Grout lines, edges and textured surfaces collect soil and cleaning residue in different ways. We identify the tile and grout, check for cracks or loose areas and choose a process suited to the installation. Ceramic and porcelain are not treated as natural stone; a stone surface is evaluated through our dedicated Stone Care service.
Our Tile & Grout Process
We confirm the exact treatment after assessing your surfaces. Here is how the work comes together.
Identify the tile, grout, existing coatings and any damage before setting the cleaning plan.
Protect adjoining materials and apply an appropriate solution to loosen soil and residue.
Work into grout joints, textured areas and edges that need extra attention.
Use suitable heated rinsing and extraction to remove loosened soil while controlling moisture.
Review the cleaned surface and separate remaining discoloration from physical damage.
Sealing is included in our standard tile and grout cleaning service. We apply the appropriate sealer unless you prefer to skip it. Declining sealing does not change the price.

Clear small floor items, toiletries and movable accessories from the areas being cleaned. Point out cracked grout, loose tile and previous sealers or waxes. Let us know about adjoining wood floors or sensitive finishes.
We typically recommend staying off sealed tile or stone for about 30–60 minutes after cleaning and sealing. The floor will continue to dry over the next 24 hours. Use a neutral-pH cleaner suitable for your flooring with a flat mop, following the product label for dilution. Avoid excessive water or solution, and don’t leave cleaning residue behind.

Tile & Grout Cleaning Questions
Have a question about a particular surface or treatment? Our team can help you plan.
Ask OCD HOMEDark grout is often caused by residue left behind during mopping. Too much water or cleaning solution can create layers of film that attract dirt, leaving floors looking soiled even after they’ve been cleaned.
Our professional cleaning breaks down this buildup so it can be thoroughly removed. After cleaning, we apply a sealer to help repel oil, water, stains and soil. We also provide clear maintenance instructions to help you keep your floors looking their best.
Our tile and grout service includes cleaning and sealing at the following rates:
Your technician will measure the exact area on site and confirm the total cost with you before work begins.
All appointments require a $250 job minimum.
Once soil buildup is removed, your grout and flooring can appear more uniform in color. However, permanent staining may remain where water or cleaning solution has sat for extended periods.
These areas can include around toilets, in front of sinks, refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers, and near doorways.
We use a clear, fast-drying, solvent-based sealer that is virtually invisible once applied. It preserves the existing appearance of your grout and flooring without adding a glossy or matte finish.
Color sealing changes or evens out the grout’s color. We’ve moved away from offering it routinely because, in our experience, it can create maintenance challenges over time, including flaking and difficulties during cleaning.
We may still perform color sealing in specific situations where our assessment shows it is appropriate. For those cases, we have two high-quality color-sealing options and select the one best suited to provide a durable, long-lasting result.
Sealing is included in our standard tile and grout cleaning process and price. You may decline the sealer, but the price remains the same. After cleaning, unsealed porous grout can absorb water, oil and soil. A suitable sealer creates a protective barrier that helps repel water and oil and resist staining and soil buildup, making the surface easier to maintain and helping protect it over time.
The right approach depends on the material. Some surfaces do not need sealing, while others, including slate, may require a specific type of sealer. We assess the grout, tile or stone and select the appropriate treatment. Natural stone sealing is assessed individually and priced separately.
We don’t perform repairs or replacement work, but we can offer recommendations or referrals to professionals who do.
Yes. We clean shower enclosures, including tile and grout. Your technician will assess the materials and condition on site to determine the appropriate cleaning approach. We no longer offer glass restoration.
We use methods and products suited to your shower’s materials to reduce or remove hard-water deposits and soap scum. Results vary and cannot be guaranteed.
Etching or deeply imbedded soiling may require restoration work beyond what cleaning can achieve.
We don’t recommend white vinegar for tile floors, even when diluted with water. Its acidity can break down sealers and damage grout or the flooring material.
No. Wood-look tile is ceramic tile designed to resemble wood. We clean it using the same method as other tile floors.
Use a neutral-pH cleaner suitable for your flooring with a flat mop, following the product label for dilution. Avoid excessive water or solution, and don’t leave cleaning residue behind.
Residue can build up on the flooring and in grout lines, attracting dirt and causing rapid resoiling. Keeping moisture and residue to a minimum helps your floors stay cleaner longer.
We typically recommend staying off sealed tile or stone for about 30–60 minutes after cleaning and sealing. The floor will continue to dry over the next 24 hours.
Sealing is included in our standard tile and grout cleaning process. Where appropriate for the material, it helps resist staining and soil buildup and makes maintenance easier.

We use a clear, fast-drying, solvent-based sealer that preserves the existing appearance of your tile, grout or stone. It does not add a glossy or matte finish.
