Tile & Grout Cleaning in Pointe-Claire

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.

Yes for cement-based grout — a penetrating sealer slows re-staining and makes mopping more effective. Sealing is pointless on epoxy grout (already non-porous). Expect sealer to add meaningfully to the bill and need reapplying every 1-3 years in wet areas.

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.

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.

Surface dirt, grease and most mould clean off well. Grout that is stained through its depth, or was never sealed and has absorbed years of dirty mop water, may only lighten. The fallback options are grout colour-sealing or re-grouting.

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.
