Tile, Grout & Hard Surface Deep Cleaning

Ceramic, porcelain, quarry tile and grout lines brought back without etching or haze.

Fault report · what this course prevents

Grout is porous, glazed tile is not, and the acid that lifts one will eat the other. Kitchens and bathrooms are where cleaners either win repeat work or pay for a replacement floor.
