When You Know Its Time for Professional Tile and Grout Cleaning

We do more than just carpet cleaning and repair here at Elite! We tackle your hard flooring as well, including tile.

Tile and grout are commonly used in bathrooms, kitchens, and other high-traffic areas of the home. While these materials are durable and easy to clean, they can become dirty and stained over time. If you are not sure whether it is time to bring in a professional to clean your tile and grout, here are some signs to look out for.

Discoloration

If your tiles or grout appear discolored or stained, it may be time for a deep cleaning. This is usually the first sign that people notice before calling in a professional. Over time, dirt, grime, and other debris can build up on the surface and cause discoloration. Professional tile and grout cleaning can remove these stains and restore the original color of your tiles and grout.

Mildew or Mold Growth

If you notice mildew or mold growing on your tiles or grout, it's important to have them cleaned as soon as possible. A musty smell can also point to mold and mildew growth. Not only can mold and mildew cause health problems, but they can also weaken the structure of your tiles and grout over time. Professional tile and grout cleaning can effectively remove mold and mildew, and prevent their future growth.

Stubborn Dirt and Stains

If you've tried cleaning your tiles and grout with a standard cleaner but still see dirt and stains, it may be time for professional cleaning. Professional cleaning can penetrate deep into the surface of the tiles and grout, effectively removing stubborn dirt and stains.

Foul Odors

As we briefly mentioned, if your tiles or grout emit a foul odor, it may be a sign of bacterial growth. Professional tile and grout cleaning can effectively remove bacteria and other microorganisms, eliminating unpleasant odors and improving indoor air quality.

Dirty Grout Lines

Grout lines are notorious for trapping dirt and grime, which can be difficult to remove with standard cleaning methods. Professional tile and grout cleaning can effectively clean grout lines, restoring their original color and improving the overall appearance of your tiles.

Overall, professional tile and grout cleaning can help restore the beauty and functionality of your tiles and grout, while also improving indoor air quality and reducing the risk of health problems. If you notice any of these signs in your home, be sure to reach out to Elite Carpet Cleaning & Repair to schedule your cleaning.
