Why is regular tile and grout cleaning in Brisbane necessary?

Tiles generally have a hard life. They are found in the most frequented areas of homes and offices and they are often overlooked when it comes to home maintenance. Keeping your tiles clean not only enhances your home but also maintains a high level of hygiene for the family.

One visit to the supermarket and you will see hundreds of cleaning products promising “professional” results with “amazing” shine and “antibacterial” properties. Not only are these products often too expensive for what they are, but they also cannot compare with a professional clean from South Qld Restoration. Our tile and grout cleaning Brisbane specialists clean with commercial products and equipment backed up with years of professional experience and training.

Continuous mopping and scrubbing with these chemicals is not only time-consuming but can also cause damage and abrasions to your tiles. These products are unlikely to give you the results you were hoping for.

Grout is a porous material, and as such, it tends to absorb dirt and debris that comes into contact with it. While mopping will remove surface soil, it leaves behind the embedded dirt that has caused the grout to become dull. Unclean tiles and grout can also contribute to excess mould build-up which is not only unsightly but also unhealthy to have in your home.

Instead of wasting your time and money, come straight to the experts! You’ll also have peace of mind knowing the products we use are completely safe for your family and your pets. Our tile and grout cleaning Brisbane service utilises heavy-duty cleaning products and specialised industrial equipment. Expertly formulated cleaning liquids are applied to your tiles using our high-pressure truck-mounted cleaning equipment, extracting and removing the dirt from the grout. This will leave your tiles sparkling clean and looking like new.

What is sealing and why is it important?

Many tiles are porous, depending on the material they are constructed from. This means that even after they have undergone our professional tile and grout cleaning Brisbane service, they can still attract and trap dirt and debris. It is simple to tell if your tiles are porous. Simply press down on a tile with a wet cloth for a few seconds. If a dark mark is left behind, then it is porous and will require sealing.

Why?

Imagine if instead of a damp cloth, that was red wine, rust from your fridge, or mess from your pets. If this happens, mild bleach will generally remove the stain, however scrubbing at it could cause even further damage to the tile.

Tiles such as unglazed ceramics and those made of natural stone definitely require sealing. Concrete floors also benefit from sealing to protect their appearance and improve their durability. Both of these materials can be incredibly expensive to lay in your home, and so it makes sense to want to extend their life as much as possible.

A sealant helps prevent and reduce staining by stopping any spills from penetrating beneath the surface. It acts as a barrier to protect your tile or concrete floors from contamination, chemicals damage, and deterioration. Sealing your tiles makes it much easier to care for this investment appropriately.

Sealing is particularly important in high traffic areas of the home, rooms which are often wet or damp, or areas where food and drinks will be consumed.

The frequency sealing is required depends on the finish of the floors or walls. A brand-new concrete floor should ideally be sealed straight away to prevent imperfections from occurring. An existing concrete floor requires sealing every 1 to 2 years. In terms of tile sealing, ideally this should occur once a year, however if your floors and walls do not have any noticeable signs of wear, you may be able to stretch this out a little longer.

Applying a sealant can set the colour, provide a glorious sheen, and deliver either a matte or high gloss finish. If you are looking to protect your concrete floors, a nonslip sealant may also be applied to keep areas like your bathroom and kitchen safe for the whole family. Sealing your tiles will also ensure that any tile cleaning services you have carried out will be more effective and last much longer.

What about the grout?

Grout sealing is a requirement to protect your grout from liquid damages.

As it is a porous material, spilt liquids absorb quickly, including water from the shower and other taps around the house. Wiping or washing the liquid away will still leave some staining in those pores. Regular floor washing can also cause stains, so it is important to use the correct cleaning agent. We use penetrating grout sealers for best results.

We even offer a complete re-grouting service, which can drastically improve the look of your floors and walls. It’s easy to look at a tiled area and think it looks unsightly, but upon closer inspection you’ll often find that the tiles are in good condition. The only thing making them appear unattractive is the discoloured grout.

Regrouting can really put the wow back into your walls and floors. So, how does this work? Well, like all of our services, the secret lies in the preparation. One of our experienced technicians will use a specialised tool to dig out the grout to a depth of around 3-4 mm. Following this, they will thoroughly vacuum and clean the area before putting in new grout containing an anti-mould additive. You’ll be astonished at how clean, bright, and fresh your shower, bathroom, splash-back, floors, and patio look after your tiles have been regrouted.

Using our regrouting services is quick, convenient, and far less expensive than replacing tiles. Other benefits include:

• Adding value to your property
• Aiding the environment by not dumping discarded tiles into landfills
• Ensuring a clean and healthy environment for your family

What floor and wall materials do we work with?

Our tile and grout cleaning Brisbane service covers a large range of tiles:

• Ceramic
• Porcelain
• Mosaic
• Glass

During the manufacturing process, tiles can either be polished or left with a matte finish. However, as tile designs and trends will continue to change over the years, it could become difficult to find replacements for your old man-made tiles. This is why using a tile and grout cleaning Brisbane and repair service now can save you money and time in the future.

We also possess expertise in working with stone. The natural stone tiles we work with include:

• Marble
• Dark Granite
• Bluestone
• Sandstone
• Travertine
• Limestone
• Granite
• Slate

Stone tiles look great on any floor or wall, but some stone types can scratch easily and must be regularly resealed to help protect them from excessive damage. An exception to this is dark granite which is very hard and only requires infrequent sealing. Keep in mind that a mild soap solution should be used for cleaning stone as harsh household cleaners can cause further abrasion and damage.
