Grout Cleaning & Sealing
When the grout is sound but filthy — restoration without removal.
Here's our honest triage, free at every assessment: sound + stained = clean and seal. Crumbling, missing or mold-farmed = regrout. Wet wall behind = rebuild, and we'll prove it with meter readings. Carpet cleaners will happily sell you option one for an option-three shower; as tile people, we sell you the right one. This page covers what cleaning achieves, what it can't, and how color-seal bridges the gap.
Farmington notes
Hard water rules much of Farmington's grout staining: The Farmington pattern: a 1980s fiberglass shower pan gone dull and flexy next to dated brass trim. Shower-floor and pan re-tiles outnumber full redos here, and buyers notice new shower floors first. Cleaning plus sealer buys years — and when it won't, our free assessment says regrout, with reasons you can verify.
- Deep extraction clean. Alkaline scrub + extraction lifts years of embedded soil.
- Stain treatment. Rust, hard-water and soap-scum addressed individually.
- Penetrating sealer. Invisible shield, reapplied on schedule, included.
- Color-seal option. Uniform grout color + stain-proof coating in one.
- Honest triage. If cleaning won't hold, we say so before taking your money.

Common questions
Sealed grout resists re-staining dramatically; unsealed grout re-soils in months. That's why sealer is included, not optional, in every cleaning.
A few hours for a shower, half a day for a whole bath. Walk on floors same evening; shower next morning.
Yes, with pH-appropriate chemistry — no acids on marble or limestone, ever. Stone gets stone-safe cleaners plus impregnating sealer.
Alkaline scrub to dissolve embedded soil, targeted stain treatment, extraction rinse, neutralizing, then penetrating sealer. Mops move dirt; this removes it.
