Tile & grout cleaning

Grout holds soil that mopping cannot reach

A tile floor can look clean while the grout lines between the tiles keep darkening. Mopping pushes dirty water into those lines rather than pulling it out. Scrub Pop arranges tile and grout cleaning that extracts the buildup, handled start to finish by us.

What we clean

• Kitchen and bathroom tile floors
• Shower walls, pans, and tub surrounds
• Backsplashes
• Entryways and mudrooms
• Natural stone such as slate, travertine, and porcelain

The process

Hot water is applied under pressure and immediately extracted, pulling soil out of the grout lines instead of spreading it around. Corners, edges, and heavily stained lines get worked by hand.

Optional sealing

After cleaning, grout can be sealed. A penetrating sealer makes the grout more resistant to staining. A color seal goes further and resets every grout line to one consistent shade, which is useful when the grout has aged unevenly.

When it helps

Tile and grout cleaning is worth scheduling before listing a home, after a move into a house with a history you did not see, or once every year or two as upkeep in high-traffic rooms.

How to plan the work

Give us the rooms, approximate square footage, the tile and grout type if you know it, the grout color, and the current condition. Say whether you want sealing quoted alongside the cleaning.

How pricing works

We give you a quote before any work is scheduled, based on the details you provide — surfaces, square footage, access, and condition. The more you can tell us up front, the more accurate it is.

Occasionally what we find on site differs from what was described: heavier buildup, harder access, hidden damage, or more area than expected. If that happens we stop and talk with you before doing the extra work — nothing gets added without your go-ahead. If the job turns out smaller than quoted, the price comes down.

Quotes are valid for 30 days and assume normal working conditions and access. Materials, disposal, and permits (when needed) are billed at cost on top of the quote.

Frequently asked questions

Will this make old grout look new again?

Deep cleaning removes built-up soil and usually lightens grout considerably. Grout that is permanently stained or eroded may not return to its original color with cleaning alone; a color seal can even it out.

Do you seal the grout afterward?

Sealing is available as an add-on. A penetrating sealer helps grout resist staining; a color seal also resets the grout to a uniform shade. Tell us if you want sealing included in the quote.

Can you clean natural stone like slate or travertine?

Yes, with products and pressure suited to the stone. Note the stone type in your request so the quote reflects the right process.
