Keeping up with your home’s tile and grout is hard work. This is particularly true in homes where the majority of the flooring is composed of tiling. Large sections of the tile are covered by area rugs and furniture, which, over time, will cause the grout to become a visibly different shade from the areas of tile that are not covered by anything; a problem that becomes quite obvious in the event you choose to sell your house.
Cleaning grout and tile is hard, tedious work, which usually involves scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees for a long time, with mixed results. There is no need to undertake this arduous task on your own.

The question of whether you can successfully clean your grout and tile yourself depends on several factors. If your grout has been properly maintained and sealed, it’s possible you can get the job done yourself, if you’re willing to invest the time and physical labour. However, there are a few telltale signs that indicate it’s time to call in a reputable contractor, such as Carpet Cleaning 360, to have a professional deep cleaning done:
- Discoloration: The discolouration cannot be removed, despite aggressive scrubbing. Be aware that overly aggressive scrubbing can cause further damage to the grout and tiles. No matter what techniques you try, you cannot get the grout to be a uniform colour.
- Mould or Grime: If there is visible mould and mildew (and a plethora of bacteria and other microbial life which are microscopic), which can be extremely detrimental to your health, you want to be sure it’s removed and cleaned properly.
- Grout Damage: The grout around your tiles needs to be sealed properly in order to avoid damage like chipping. Not only is this unsightly, but it can allow water and bacteria to penetrate into the pores of the grout.
If any of the above apply to your tile and grout, the situation calls for a professional cleaning to restore the quality of your tiles, prevent further damage, and mitigate the presence of any harmful mould, mildew or microbes. Our team at Carpet Cleaning 360 are trained experts who can tackle even the harshest discolouration, the most aggressive microbes and the most difficult to reach surface areas.
The earlier you detect these indicators, the faster you should act. We will work with you to find the most sensible solution to either deep cleaning, repairing or replacing areas of your tile and grout. You will be consulted by the Carpet Cleaning 360 contractors who evaluate your home and involved in the planning of any projects before they are initiated so that there are no surprises when it comes to time or expense.
Cleaning your floor tiles is just as important as keeping up with the grout. Tiles can become worn down and porous; susceptible to infiltration by water, bacteria and other unwanted elements. It’s essential that tiles be properly cleaned while simultaneously being protected from any surface degradation. This can inadvertently occur if the incorrect type of cleaning solvent is applied, or if the tiles are scrubbed too aggressively.
Carpet Cleaning 360 has the knowledge and expertise to know how to clean all different types of tile. From marble to granite to slate, we know exactly how to clean and maintain your tile, and keep it gleaming. Best of all, all our materials and methods are non-abrasive, environmentally friendly, and also safe for your pets too!
Once your grout and tiles have been professionally installed, replaced, cleaned and/or repaired, make sure to have the grout expertly sealed, a process in which a transparent, protective coating is applied, filling the porous areas that allow dirt to accumulate in your grout, to begin with. Some of the benefits include:
- Protection from staining and discolouration
- Prevention of penetration of dirt, dust, and so forth from daily use
- The prevention of humidity and moisture from damaging the grout
- The grout and tiles will be easier to clean and maintain
- The tiles will last longer, requiring fewer replacements and repairs, ultimately saving money
