Tile & Grout Cleaning

How it Works
We initially place a treatment on the surface, this will loosen and break up any kind of staining, grime or dirt that is apparent. We then use industrial cleaning machines that use a large rotary scrubbing system in conjunction with very hot, high pressured water. This machine will proceed to lift any dirt initially treated from the surface, the machine has a vacuum built within it that will remove any excess from the surface. This excess is then disposed of in an outside drain or where necessary. The machinery used allows the excess dirt and grime to be removed from the property completely instead of moving the dirt around like a normal steam mop or vacuum. We also use various cleaning detergents that assist in the removal of even the toughest stains. 

Extra Charges:
- Areas such the bathroom, toilet, and laundry are double the rate per m2 to clean as they are considered wet areas and usually require more attention; therefore they take more time to complete. 
- Excess Mould requires a chlorine treatment which is charged an extra $2 per m2
- Efflorescence and Rust stains require a light acid wash, this slightly abrasive cleaner will tackle tougher staining. This acid formula is designed to clean surfaces without damaging them in the process. Some natural stones are too soft or porous to receive this treatment in these cases we will use an alternative treatment that would provide the same results charged at $3 extra per m2.
- Oil staining can be hard to remove and requires special treatment to do so, in most cases oil stains can be removed. This can depend on whether the oil is natural or not e.g. engine oil can not be removed from an unsealed surface with cleaning methods alone. Cooking oils and oily food stains can be removed with our specific treatment that is charged at an extra $3 per m2.
- Grout Haze removal is very common and our technicians can remove it quickly and efficiently. This requires an acid wash that is applied to area and then scrubbed away with the use of our machinery at a charge of $3 per m2.
- Factory Wax removal usually only occurs on newly laid tiles. Factories that supply tiles coat them in a thin wax that protects them whilst in transit and during installation. After being laid this wax residue can be removed with our specially formulated treatment at an extra charge of $3. 
- In some cases, extra treatments may be required to achieve the optimum results, they will be charged an extra rate per m2.

Instructions 
We require that all areas for cleaning are prepared for our arrival, and that you have as much of the furniture moved as possible. The less furniture on the surface the more coverage our technician will have and therefore a better overall clean. 

Important Information
- The drying time for cleaning is approximately 30 minutes depending on what type of stone you have and where it is situated. 
- Cleaning will get your tiles back to their very best possible condition, surfaces that are damaged or aged will not return to the original condition from cleaning alone.
