Grout and Tiles Cleaning, Coloring, Sealing Bathrooms and Kitchens Walls and Floors

We have started the process of cleaning these bathroom tiles and grout.  Our team cleaned a small spot in the middle of the floor just to show how dirty the tiles were.

STEP #1:  Apply chemicals throughout the tile and grout area to clean
STEP #2: Steam wash with high-temperature dry steam
STEP #3: The entire bathroom including fixtures are sanitized during the process

Cleaning Grout and Tiles with Hot Dry Steam

We start the cleaning preparation process by applying the cleaner over the tiles and grout. The cleaner will soften any grease and dirt that has accumulated on the grout over the years.  This facilitates the removal of any grease and scum when steam is applied to the tiles and grout.

As we let the grout cleaner do its work while we sanitize all bathroom fixtures with dry steam, we clean every groove, gap, and fixture in the bathroom. The dry steam gets through every crack where dirt accumulates over the years.

Our team ensures to sanitize the area with a very hot dry steam. After cleaning and sanitizing all the fixtures we use steam to clean the entire tile area removing all the dirt and grease softened by the cleaner at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

The steam alone would clean the tiles and grout but prepping the surface with a cleaner to facilitate the removal of the dirt and create a clean surface is better.  Additionally, it opens all the pores in the grout for the color sealer to penetrate better,

This completes the steam cleaning process of the whole bathroom including the walls then finishing with the floor. The grout is ready to be sealed after we cleaned the bathroom.  Once complete we coloured the grout and sealed it too.   The colour and sealer combination will create a uniform grout coloring while sealing it and protecting it from absorbing dirt in the future.

After we let the color sealer absorb into the grout joints we wipe the excess that's sitting on the tiles.  It dries for a minute or so and the process continues throughout the entire bathroom. Once all the joints are sealed, we let the grout dry.  We polish with a buffing machine and remove any dry residue that was left on the tiles during the grouting cleaning process.

A final vacuum is completed to remove any dust that was created during the cleaning process.  For a final coating over all the grout and colored sealer, we apply an extra step of clear sealer.  This provides further protection for the tiles and grout of the bathroom walls and floor.  The clear sealer will not enhance or change the color of the grout or stones when it dries. We then wipe off any additional residue of sealer accumulated over the tiles. This also further spreads the sealer into the joints.
