Tile & Grout Cleaning in Jetafe

In Jetafe, 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.

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.

A typical kitchen or bathroom floor takes 1-2 hours; a whole-house tiled floor half a day. Floors are walkable almost immediately after extraction, but wait 24 hours before wet-mopping, and longer if sealer was applied.

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.

It's common practice but a bad idea outside controlled use on severe cement haze — it eats cement grout, etches stone, corrodes drains, and the fumes are hazardous. Insist on alkaline degreasers and mechanical scrubbing instead.
