Tile and grout floors have been installed in almost every new home in the Sacramento area for the last 20 years. Although they look great when new, there is a severe lack of education on how to properly maintain these surfaces. Tile Cleaning Sacramento| SacSurfacePro, is the local expert for cleaning and maintaining tile and grout surfaces in your home. We have spent the last several years providing professional Tile Cleaning in the Sacramento area. Our goal is to educate our clients on the proper ways to care for their tile and grout and the best methods to keep it in “like new” condition.
SacSurfacePro is NOT a carpet cleaning company that has expanded its services to include Tile Cleaning in Sacramento. We find that many of the carpet cleaners specialize in carpet and don’t know much about tile cleaning. In fact, if you look at many of their websites or reviews, you will find most if not all of the focus is on carpet and not on tile and grout services.
Also, many of the carpet cleaners will not clean natural stone surfaces because these are much easier to damage if you don’t know what you’re doing. Professional Tile Cleaning in Sacramento requires knowing the type of surface you are dealing with. Porcelain or ceramic tile have to be treated differently than natural stone surfaces such as travertine, marble, or limestone! The type of tool used, the right attachments, the correct cleaners, and knowledge are absolutely necessary when cleaning natural stone. These are just a few of the things you should take into consideration when hiring someone for Tile Cleaning in Sacramento.
There are many things which factor into grout becoming dirty. On floors, young children (spills), animals (hair and dirt tracked in from the outside), and parties (lots of traffic, spills, etc.) are just a few things which contribute to this frustrating issue. Other things, such as improper cleaning methods, can lead to your grout becoming dirty much sooner than it should.
In showers, moisture along with humidity, form the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew growth. Unsealed grout will absorb moisture and will stay wet much longer, sometimes taking hours to dry out. The results can be a cleaning nightmare for many homeowners.
On counters, spills or staining agents are the main culprits. The tile on this surface can harbor bacteria which can be detrimental to your health if not taken care of properly.
In most cases we recommend you have your floors cleaned every 1-3 years. Dirt on floor grout will penetrate at a rate of approximately 1 millimeter per year. So, if you wait 10 years between cleanings, the dirt may be too deeply imbedded in the grout lines to come completely clean. This can leave unsightly stains which will be magnified because of the cleanliness of the newly clean, surrounding grout. Counters like floors should be cleaned every 1-3 years.
SacSurfacePro recommends you clean shower tile and grout every 1-2 years. As one of the most abused surfaces in your home, the shower area needs to be cleaned more frequently to ensure a “clean” environment. Who wants to try to get clean in a dirty environment?
