Whether you're trying to sell your house or need a little cosmetic work done to make for a more enjoyable living space, one of the best things you can do for your home is to schedule a tile and grout cleaning service. While you may not think that those little black marks all over your floor and shower are dangerous, the truth is, failure to have your grout cleaned regularly can lead to a ton of problems down the road.

Why Should I Have My Tile and Grout Cleaned?

We recommend having your tile and grout cleaned by a professional service (like ours), primarily because simply scrubbing it by hand is not enough to thoroughly clean the area. A surface scrub may give it a nice shine, but it doesn't fix many of the problems that can lie below the surface.

Professional grout and tile cleaning services are important for several reasons.

• Removes Bacteria. By its very nature, grout is a porous substance, which can trap water and bacteria with ease. Mold won't be far behind; in fact, mold can develop in less than 48 hours, which can cause issues for family members that may have breathing issues.

• Longer Lifespan. If trapped in your floor, those tiny specks of bacteria can start to eat away at the tile, forcing you to replace the flooring prematurely. A professional tile and grout cleaning service eliminates bacteria built up over time and create a seal that protects against future issues.

• Looks Beautiful. One of the best part of our job is seeing the look on the homeowner's face when our crew is finished cleaning their tile. In many cases, the homeowner has forgotten how beautiful their flooring was, to begin with, and a professional clean is all it needs to get their home looking as good as the day they moved in.

How Often Should My Tile and Grout be Cleaned?

We recommend our clients have their tile and grout cleaned at least once per year for the best results. Although, as parents know, kids and children can cause the tile to get dirtier much quicker. In those instances, we recommend a second cleaning for an extra layer of protection.

Can I Clean The Grout And Tile Myself?

 At Hammond Cleaning Solutions, we pride ourselves on cleaning your tile and grout as efficiently as possible while causing minimal intrusions into your daily life. Through a six-step process that includes vacuuming away any loose material first, spraying a deep cleaner into the grout itself and then extracting it dry, we're able to provide a much more thorough cleaning experience than can be done by hand.

Still, that doesn't mean you can't clean it at all. For the absolute best results, most experts recommend cleaning your grout every week. Doing this in conjunction with our professional services will ensure your grout and tile stays as pristine as possible year-round, allowing you to enjoy your house without worrying about dangerous bacteria living nearby.
