Stone Tile And Grout Cleaning San Diego

Stone or ceramic tiles are a fantastic way to enliven the look of your kitchen or restroom. These days, tiles are available in a wide variety of styles and patterns, making it possible to mimic the appearance of more costly materials at a much lower cost. They work well for the façade of your house as well and can make an entranceway feel much more opulent. Stone and ceramic tiles are a common feature in many people’s houses, whether they are on the patio or bathroom walls. We are the best tile and grout cleaning company in San Diego, and we can restore these areas of your house to their original, spotless beauty.

Tiles appear fantastic, but they still require maintenance to keep them looking their best. Your stone, tile, and grout floors will quickly begin to accumulate mold and dirt if you don’t routinely clear them. Since many of these materials have porous surfaces, the bacteria may be hiding below the surface; therefore, you must ensure that you eliminate them as soon as possible. Nobody wants to jeopardize the health of their family, which is why it’s crucial to maintain spotless kitchen tiles because this is where your food is made. Although sweeping and mopping the floor will surely help, a deep clean that actually keeps your floors and tiles germ-free requires going one step further.

Self-help is one solution to the issue. In that situation, you’ll need to get on your hands and knees and begin scrubbing the tiles with a toothbrush. However, this can be a time-consuming and exhausting procedure, and even if you go through it all, you probably still won’t have fully solved the issue. Fortunately, there is an alternative approach—let the professionals at San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning handle everything!

Although the majority of people are familiar with us from our superb carpet spot and stain cleaning service, we also offer a specialized stone, tile, and floor cleaning service. We are experts at cleaning, so we can fully get rid of any bacteria and germs that might be on your tiles and stone. You can be confident that your floors and other surfaces will be completely safe for your children and pets in addition to being immaculately clean after we’re done. If you hire us, we’ll guarantee to offer you the best cleaning you’ve ever experienced.

But don’t just believe what we say. To make sure we’re doing a fantastic job, we recently hired an impartial laboratory to assess the efficacy of our cleaning procedures for tile, stone, and grout. When you hire us, your house will be as clean as it possibly can be because we were able to remove 99% of the bacteria from these surfaces after working on several homes.

Keeping Your Home Clean And Hygienic

Cleaning your home’s stone, tile, and grout serves an even more crucial function than just making sure it appears neat and tidy and safeguarding the materials. While you may believe that your home is the safest place for you and your family, studies show that, on average, the air inside your home is about twice as polluted as the air outside—and, in some instances, it can be much, much worse. In your house, dust, dirt, and allergens can quickly accumulate and cause allergic reactions and chronic illnesses like asthma. It’s time to take action to keep your house as clean as you can and provide you and your family with allergy relief rather than letting this happen to your family.

In light of this, it’s critical that you choose wisely when it comes to the cleaning supplies you use in your house. Some of these may be detrimental to your health, but working with us means you won’t have to worry about that. You don’t need to worry because we only use environmentally friendly cleaning products that are totally safe to use around people and pets when performing our green cleaning process.

We’ll reach deep into the porous surface of your tile, stone, and grout using the most cutting-edge tools and methods to eradicate bacteria there. It cleans all the invisible grime and bacteria while also leaving your floors and tiles looking fantastic. We use deep-cleaning extraction tools to remove dirt buildup, so the outcomes we deliver are much better than anything you could ever hope to accomplish on your own. Your home will be the cleanest it has ever been when we are finished. At a moment’s notice, we are prepared to take on any residential cleaning or commercial cleaning job!

You need to take care of more than just the stones themselves. Even though the stone and tiles appear spotless, the grout used to assemble them is incredibly porous and will therefore absorb anything it comes in touch with. Although it can be challenging to remove all of this debris from grout, we take the time to thoroughly clean grout to keep it clear of bacteria, dust, and dirt. After we’re done, we also add a unique sealant to the grout to guard against future spills. This gives you more time to remove them before they seep into the grout, providing you with a dependable, long-lasting clean.

All of our skilled cleaning specialists have received extensive training in tile, stone, and grout cleaning, so they are always aware of the most effective strategy to use. In order to precisely identify the material used to create the tiles or stone, we start by meticulously testing them. We can adjust our strategy appropriately and use products that won’t harm the stone or tiles thanks to this knowledge. We never use harsh chemicals to clean tiles and stone floors because some materials, like marble or limestone, are especially sensitive to acids.

Our skilled cleaning specialists will also tape off the area to be cleaned before we begin. This helps to prevent harm to other surfaces and makes it simple to get rid of any surface dirt and dust at this early stage, as well as any dry soil. With that gone, we’re better able to get rid of the grime embedded deep within the fabric, so our technique yields the best outcomes available!

To ensure that we are removing every last trace of dust and dirt, Smart Dry’s cleaning technicians also perform a number of quality tests throughout the process. We don’t simply sweep the tile or stone floor once and pray for the best. Instead, we prefer to go the extra mile to completely clean your stone, tiles, and grout. Additionally, it doesn’t end there. As soon as we are done cleaning, we instantly seal the surface with specifically formulated sealants to prevent lingering dirt from penetrating the material. As a result, your floors and surfaces stay spotless for a longer period of time and you can resume using them shortly after we finish the cleaning. We also provide a variety of additional services, including polishing and restoration, if you so choose. Just let us know what you require, and we’ll be delighted to do so!

Our service covers a huge range of different materials, including:

• Ceramic
• Granite
• Porcelain
• Slate
• Saltillo
• Travertine
• Concrete

Avoid tolerating stained or filthy pavers and stone. Instead, let the professionals at San Diego Tile Grout Cleaning give your stone and tiles a thorough deep clean so that they will remain clean and sanitary as well as attractive for a very long time.

We kindly ask that you make the area ready for cleaning prior to the arrival of our cleaning experts. We can complete the task more quickly and cause you as little disruption as feasible if we do this. Make sure all potential tripping hazards, such as tiny items like shoes and children’s toys, are put away first. Clear any countertops that need to be cleaned, particularly if they contain breakable items like mugs and plates.

Remove any floor coverings, such as area rugs, before having a stone or tile floor cleaned so that our technicians can easily clean the complete surface. We can use a deep cleaning technique that really works marvels because we have complete access to the floor. Please let us know in advance if you have any rugs that need to be cleaned as well; we’ll be happy to do so when we come.

Any substantial furniture, such as chairs, kitchen tables, and patio furniture, must obviously be relocated out of the way. Please wait for the sealant we apply to completely dry after the area has been cleaned before rearranging the furnishings, or you run the risk of damaging it.

Prior to cleaning, it’s a good notion to sweep your floors. Since we are San Diego’s top tile and grout cleaning company and are prepared to take on any job, there is no need to go all out. The heavy work will be done by us, but if you could clear any surface debris, such as crumbs or litter, it will make the process go much more quickly for our technicians. A clear path from the front entrance to the area that will be cleaned is also necessary so that we can easily bring our equipment in and out without damaging anything. If possible, our technicians will try to park as close as possible to your front door; therefore, it would be great if you could move your vehicle to make room for them.

Types Of Stone Surfaces We Clean And Polish

We Clean  and steam clean a variety of different stone surfaces and floors at Stone Tile Cleaning, removing dirt and providing you with a beautiful, polished room. Our services can differ slightly depending on what type of surface of stone you’re getting cleaned. If you’re not sure what kind of stone you’ve got, here are the features of the most common stone materials that we clean and polish to help you find out.

Granite

Granite differs from marble because, as opposed to calcium carbonate, it is a stone composed mainly of silica or quartz. Granite has a stunning crystallized pattern and has little or no veining. If you have granite counters or backsplash in your kitchen, make sure to seal them against spills or marks. Sealing also helps to improve the granite polishing output. While granite stone itself is not as susceptible to vinegar and other acidic cleaners as marble itself, these products that eventually break down the sealant.

Marble

Stone Tile Cleaning offers expert quality polishing and marble repair facilities, from marble bathrooms to counter tops. The veined, chalky appearance helps you to identify marble. It has a fine texture and is available in a wide variety of colors. You can avoid vinegar and other abrasive or acidic cleaners when cleaning your marble surfaces, because it does damage to the stone.

Travertine

Travertine is a sedimentary rock stone, similar to marble, excavated from the earth. For centuries, it has been a building material, most famous as the principal substance used to build the Coliseum in Rome. Travertine is really appealing, and is available in many neutral and rusty shades with its usually fibrous appearance. It is often cut into tiles which are used as flooring or wall material because of its durability. As with stone, travertine cannot be washed using vinegar and other acidic cleaners. Many of its refurbishment specifications are similar to those of marble.

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is not a stone that is naturally occurring.  Rather, it is a binding substance that embeds cements with chips of marble, granite and other natural stones to create an amazing and classy material. Terrazzo can be porous and reactive, particularly when not sealed properly. This configuration makes maintenance necessary for proper cleaning. The wrong cleaners or cleaning methods will permanently damage Terrazzo. The way this material is washed is similar to that used for marble and granite.

Slate

Slate is another silica stone, as granite. This appears to be dark in color and available in shades of grey, red, black and white. The distinctive texture of the clefts makes it attractive as flooring and roofing material. The surface of the slate can be quite slippery when cleaned and polished so be careful when walking on it. Be sure to clear any dirty waxy residue before cleaning your slate surfaces. You’ll need to sweep away any leftover dirt or debris as well. Do not vacuum slate, as this can damage its surface. The easiest ways to clean the slate surfaces are with the use of brooms, wet mops and special stone cleaners.

Benefits Of Sealing Your Stone Countertops, Floors And Other Surfaces

Elements of stone make a beautiful addition to any house. You probably weighed the pros and cons of these natural materials before selecting this material as a finishing touch to your kitchen, your bathroom or the overall style of your home. Stone is naturally immune to your bar stools, kitchen features, backsplash and flooring choices. Nonetheless, if these materials are improperly maintained every day wear and tear will cause permanent damage.

You will periodically have their surfaces sealed and polished to keep your marble, granite, and other stone features in flawless condition. Sealing your stone will ensure you enjoy a long life with this high quality material. When you seal your natural stone surfaces you can also see a range of other benefits.

• Prevent Water Damage And Stain

In most households accidental spills are a normal occurrence. However, it can lead to unwanted and unattractive staining or water damage when water or any other liquid is spilled on a natural stone surface. It is especially true for stone in light color. Sealing marble and other stone products in your home helps to extract it with a cloth when liquid spills, until it absorbs deeper into the stone.

• Reduce Scratches And Etches

Many types of stone, such as marble and onyx, can easily become weakened by the everyday wear and tear. A fresh seal helps protect the stone from knives, cleaners or even food from etches or scratches.

• Enjoy Easy Cleanup

If stone is freshly polished, it is much easier to clean off a variety of messes from the surface of the stone, from fingerprints to food residues. This consistency also ensures you won’t need to use too much cleaner to protect the surfaces of your stone.

• Less Exposure To Dangerous Chemicals

No need for harsh chemical cleaners means faster cleaning. Such hazardous substances can often reduce the indoor air quality of your home, and even damage the environment.

• Maintain The Natural Beauty Of The Stone

Sealing decreases the amount of damage the stone surfaces receive and also avoids the staining or dullness of marble, granite and other forms of stone. Sealers may also serve as protection to prevent oils, water and other forms of liquids from leaving a filmy stain on the surface of the stone which can degrade this material’s consistency and beautiful appearance.

• Know When To Seal Your Stone And Marble

Using stone materials to establish visual value and timeless appeal in your home is an excellent way. Every stone type is distinctive and possesses its own unique beauty, appeal and durability. Each needs their own maintenance procedures, whether you select marble, granite or other stone material.

Several stones, like marble, are a bit more sensitive and temperamental in nature, requiring constant care to avoid damage, preserve its stability and retain its beautiful appearance. Others are as robust and durable as granite.

One part of the maintenance you won’t want to forget is to have daily sealing of the stone features in your house. If you’re not sure how much your stone needs to be sealed to maintain its lasting consistency and look, below is a simple thumb rule to give you a basic idea.

Marble

You’ll want your marble surfaces resealed more regularly, with regular use at least two to three times in a year.

Granite

Granite requires a seal ultra-application with regular usage every two to three years, along with polishing to walls, floors and other surfaces.

Travertine

To keep them in excellent condition you can have your travertine features sealed every three to five years.

Slate

Slate is another durable stone, similar to granite, so it only needs to be resealed with regular use every three years.

Terrazzo

As with marble, terrazzo appears to be more delicate and requires a little more attention. Get the terrazzo resealed to regular use a few times a year.

Although these instructions are intended to give you a clear idea of when fresh seals should be applied to your marble, granite and other stone surfaces, sealants often need to be applied more frequently. If you’ve got lighter colored stone or you find that the sealant is fading away, get a new coating.

If your stone surface needs a fresh sealant coat call Stone Tile Cleaning for washing, polishing and sealing of your natural stone floors & other surfaces.
