Tile & Grout Cleaning in Hawthorn Woods,
Brought back to like-new quality.

After our walkthrough where we discuss your concerns, answer questions, and set up corner guards, carpet glides, and Seal-A-Door, this is our process.

1. 01

   Sweep & Remove Dry Soil

   Loose dirt comes off first. No point spreading it around with water.

2. 02

   Wipe Baseboards

   Exposed baseboards get a thorough wipe-down so we don't push dust onto a freshly cleaned floor.

3. 03

   Pre-Treat

   A specially formulated high-alkaline solution loosens and emulsifies soils and stains in the grout.

4. 04

   Power Scrub

   A counter-rotating brush works the tile and grout lines mechanically, releasing the maximum amount of dirt and residue.

5. 05

   Steam Rinse

   High-pressure rotary scrub wand steam-rinses everything we just lifted, contained so it doesn't go anywhere it shouldn't.

6. 06

   Turbo Dry

   Air movers go down on the freshly rinsed floor so it's dry quickly and ready for use.

7. 07

   Penetrating Sealer

   Solvent-based tile & grout sealer goes in last. Doesn't change the look or feel — just makes future spills sit on top instead of soaking in.

Acrylic-waxed tile? Some tile is finished with an acrylic wax that has to be stripped first to actually clean what's underneath. We strip it, clean, and then reapply the wax to keep the glossy look.

A mop cleans the surface, but it leaves the grout untouched. The grout is where dirt really hides. Here's what professional cleaning gets you:

• Deep cleaning, not surface cleaning. Truck-mount steam plus counter-rotating brush gets contaminants out of the grout that mopping simply can't reach.
• Longer tile lifespan. Removing harmful substances and treating the surface correctly extends how long your floor lasts before it needs replacing.
• Health. Grout is a breeding ground for mold, mildew, dust mites, and bacteria — all of which trigger allergies and respiratory issues.
• Look. Stained grout dulls a whole room. Clean grout makes the floor look new.
• Time. What takes us 90 minutes takes a homeowner with a brush a weekend.
• Sealing. Once cleaned, sealing the grout protects it from future stains and makes the next cleaning easier.

Our products are safe for your family and pets. We protect walls, baseboards, and adjacent flooring with corner guards and carpet glides. Seal-A-Door on the entry keeps household pets in and weather out while we work.

Not all tile is the same. ceramic, porcelain, travertine, slate, and marble each call for distinct cleaning techniques. We're trained to identify what you have and apply the right method for it instead of running the same wand across everything.
