How we clean Tiled floors
Protecting the surrounding areas is our main task when attempting any cleaning in a customer’s house. We use polythene sheets fixed with masking tape to protect cupboard doors and skirting from splashes from our machinery. Once all is protected we can get on with the main task of restoring your porcelain tiles and grout.
First thing we do with tiled floors is test to make sure there are no hidden agendas, tiles can be funny to clean sometimes and an untrained technician could cause far more damage than you’d think. Rare as it is we air on the side of caution and always do our tests first. You can never be too careful.
Once testing is over we spray down special solutions onto the tiles and grout and leave for a short period to break down the soils and grease. We then use a rotary machine with a soft brush head to scrub the floor. After this we manually scrub the grout lines using a long handled and sometimes short handled grout brush. The floor is then rinsed using a contained water wand specifically for hard floors using hot water, we then check the floor and re-clean if needs be, we sometimes change solutions if the grout has not come up as good as we anticipated. There are also problems like grout haze after a tiler has finished grouting, they sometimes leave a very thin layer of grout which would also need to be removed, we usually assess this early on at the quote stage so you’ll get no hidden surprises from us.
If for some strange reason the grout lines are still not looking there best then the final alternative is a re-colour. Something we also offer our customers.
