Quick answer

What Is the Difference Between Tile Cleaning and Restoration?

Cleaning removes soil from the surface and grout. Restoration also corrects damage: voids in grout are filled and failing grout replaced and color-matched, etches and scratches are honed out, the stone is polished to an even sheen, and a penetrating sealer is applied. It starts with an inspection so the plan fits your tile and grout.

Why it matters

Techniques

What Restoration Can Include

Most restorations combine several techniques.

Cleaning: by machine or by hand, with grout joints, corners and edges given close attention.
Grouting: voids filled and old grout replaced where needed, color-matched as closely as possible.
Honing: a wet process that reduces or removes etches and scratches.
Polishing: wet abrasive powders bring stone to the desired sheen.
Repairs: color-matched epoxy for cracks, holes and chips.
Sealing: penetrating sealers help protect surfaces and repel water.
