Restore your tiles without the scrubbing

Grout lines are porous and trap dirt, soap residue, mould, and bacteria that regular mopping simply pushes around rather than removes. Over time, light-coloured grout turns grey or brown, and tile surfaces develop a dull film that no amount of household cleaning products can fully reverse.

Wayne uses professional-grade high-pressure steam cleaning equipment specifically designed for hard surface restoration. The combination of high temperature and pressure loosens and extracts embedded contamination from grout lines and tile surfaces, restoring them to a condition that home cleaning methods can't achieve.

After cleaning, Wayne can optionally apply a penetrating grout sealer to the cleaned grout lines, dramatically reducing the rate at which they re-absorb dirt and making future maintenance easier. This is particularly recommended for kitchens and shower grout.

Common questions about tile & grout cleaning

How does professional tile and grout cleaning work?
Wayne uses a high-pressure rotary cleaning tool that blasts a combination of hot water and cleaning solution into the tile surface and grout lines at high pressure, then immediately vacuums up the loosened contamination. The result is a deep clean that removes what mopping and household scrubbing can't reach.
How often should I have my tiles professionally cleaned?
For most kitchen and bathroom tiles, professional cleaning every 2–3 years is sufficient. Shower and kitchen grout may benefit from more frequent attention — every 12–18 months — especially without a grout sealer in place. After professional cleaning, regular mopping remains effective for much longer because the grout is properly clean to start with.
Will professional cleaning damage my tiles?
Wayne's equipment and methods are safe for ceramic, porcelain, and most natural stone tiles when used correctly. He inspects tile type before starting and adjusts pressure and temperature accordingly. For older or delicate tiles, lower pressure settings are used to avoid any risk of damage. Wayne has not damaged a tile surface in his years of operation.
What is grout sealing and should I get it done?
Grout sealer is a penetrating liquid applied to cleaned grout that fills the porous surface of the grout, making it much more resistant to staining and easier to clean in the future. It's strongly recommended after a professional clean, particularly for kitchen grout and shower tiles. The sealer typically lasts 2–5 years depending on usage.
Can you remove black mould from shower grout?
Yes — black mould in shower grout responds well to high-temperature steam cleaning combined with an anti-mould treatment. Very deeply embedded mould staining that has permanently discoloured grout may require grout re-colouring rather than just cleaning, but Wayne will assess and advise before starting.
Can you clean floor tiles and wall tiles?
Wayne primarily cleans floor tiles, which are the most commonly affected by ground-in dirt and grout staining. For wall tiles (shower walls, splashbacks), the approach differs slightly due to the vertical surface. Contact Wayne to discuss your specific tile surfaces and he'll confirm whether they're within scope.
How long do I need to stay off the tiles after cleaning?
After cleaning, tiles are safe to walk on once dry — typically 30–60 minutes. If grout sealer is applied, Wayne will advise a slightly longer waiting period (usually 1–2 hours) to allow the sealer to penetrate and begin curing before foot traffic.
