Stone, Tile & Grout Cleaning

Your home, like most homes today, has a variety of floor and wall coverings. Tile – and a wide range of stone – now covers more than just your bathroom floors and your tub and shower walls. Tile and stone floors have become popular surfaces in foyers, kitchens, utility rooms, family rooms, porches, and many other areas, both inside and outside of the home.

Like any other surface, these areas require ongoing daily, weekly, and/or monthly maintenance in the form of vacuuming, sweeping, mopping, and scrubbing. However, interim consumer maintenance is no substitute for the expertise, cleaning solutions, and equipment of a Platinum Care professional.

The Cleanest Process
A wide variety of powerful cleaning solutions designed to remove soils, oils, buildups, spots, and stains is combined with a high pressure rinse and extraction to leave your tile and grout looking better than it has in years!

The Driest Process
Your tile and grout flooring can be cleaned and sealed on the same day, and freshly cleaned floors can be ready to tolerate light traffic in as little as four hours!

The Safest Process
Our tile and grout cleaners penetrate deeply into the porous surfaces of your tile and grout, removing soil and helping to eliminate mildew, fungus, bacteria, and other contaminants. Our sealers also help resist microbial contamination to leave your tile and grout as clean and healthy as possible.

Your Platinum Care professionals not only provide an unsurpassed result, but we are also dedicated to providing an outstanding service experience. We’ll protect your walls, fixtures, appliances, trim, and, especially, any stainless steel, as well as preventing tracking or cross-contamination of any adjoining carpets or other flooring.

Furthermore, we offer two options on sealing your surfaces. The application of a high quality penetrating sealer will help fill the pores of your grout lines and porous stone surfaces, providing moisture, soil, and stain resistance. With proper interim care, these sealers will last one to three years in most areas.

Make Your Grout Lines Bulletproof With The Application of Color Sealer!

While penetrating sealers fill the pores of grout lines to help repel soils and stains, they cannot and do not protect against any and all damage. The application of Color Sealer, however, will not only provide for a uniform color for your grout lines, it will also resist spots, stains, and soil in almost any circumstance. In fact, Color Sealer is so durable and resistant that the only way that we can remove it after doing a client demonstration is with the use of an aggressive coating stripper and heavy agitation. Other benefits include:

• The ability to select the grout color of your choice
• The ability to change your old grout color to a new grout color without the expense of removing and re-installing new grout and the risk of damaging your tile or stone
• The ability to update the appearance of your home without expensive tile removal and replacement
• A limited lifetime warranty

Before & After

Our Process – “Eight Steps To Beautiful Tile & Grout”

	Protect Home and Furnishings Walk-off mats and corner guards protect home and entryways from tracking/damage from hoses etc. Appliances, stainless steel items, wood baseboards, cabinets, and trim must be covered, taped off, and/or otherwise fully protected to prevent contact with the cleaning solutions. Barriers may also be built to protect adjacent flooring such as carpet or wood.
	Carefully Move Furniture Furniture is moved on 'skidders' to prevent damage to furniture or flooring.
	Pre-Treat With Appropriate Cleaning Solutions Powerful alkaline solutions are applied remove soils from tile and grout. These solutions are agitated by machine and brush to increase emulsification and enhance soil removal. After the initial rinse described below, a second application of an acidic cleaning solution is applied, where possible, to help remove buildups such as soap scum and efflorescence while also etching the grout lines to prepare for the application of sealer.
	High Pressure Rinse A hot water and carefully calibrated high pressure rinse and extraction removes emulsified soil and cleaning agents. The pressure is adjusted to ensure that difficult-to-reach cracks and crevices are cleaned while helping to minimize damage to weak grout lines or tiles.
	Detail Edges No tool perfectly cleans edges and trim, so we make sure that all edges are maintained by hand brushing and hand drying these areas. No detail is too small.
	Speed-Dry Powerful air movers speed the drying process ensuring your floor is left dry, spotless, and clean.
	Apply Sealer / Finish Top-quality sealers and Impregnators are used to make certain your grout repels stains for years to come.
	Wipe Baseboards Finishes room, removes spots and overspray
