Tile & Grout Cleaning in Hamilton

Marble, travertine and limestone need pH-neutral chemistry — acid-based tile cleaners etch them permanently. Tell the company your surface type up front; stone-safe cleaning and polishing is a different (pricier) service from ceramic/porcelain work.

In Hamilton, pricing runs per square metre with a minimum callout, so small bathrooms cost proportionally more than large open-plan floors. Sealing roughly doubles the per-metre rate. Get the area measured and quoted in writing.

Mopping pushes dirty water into porous grout lines, which sit lower than the tile face and act as gutters. After a professional clean, sealing the grout and switching to a flat microfibre mop with frequent rinse water dramatically slows re-soiling.

Almost always by floor area (per square metre or square foot), with a minimum job charge. Sealing after cleaning, shower recesses, and heavily stained or epoxy-smeared grout cost extra. Wall tiles are quoted separately from floors.

An alkaline pre-treatment to break down grease and soap scum, machine agitation with rotary brushes, then high-pressure hot water extraction that vacuums the dirty water away. It reaches into grout pores that mopping never touches.

Salt residue tracked in over winter leaves white haze and slowly degrades cement grout. An annual spring clean with alkaline pre-treatment strips the residue; sealing entry-area grout before winter makes the next spring far easier.
