Frequently asked questions.

Most residential surfaces benefit from a professional clean every 12–24 months; commercial and high-traffic areas more frequently. We will recommend a schedule based on your tile type and how the space is used.

Natural stone and porous tiles — marble, travertine, limestone, slate and terracotta — should always be sealed. Dense porcelain and glazed ceramic need their grout sealed. We select the right sealer for your specific material.

In almost all cases, yes. Cleaning, honing, polishing, stripping, regrouting and targeted repairs can return a tiled surface to like-new condition without the cost and disruption of full replacement.

A standard residential clean usually takes a few hours. Larger restoration projects such as honing, polishing or regrouting may take one to two days. We give you a clear timeframe with your free quote.

No. We use self-contained, enclosed extraction equipment and lay protection over surrounding surfaces. Your home is treated with care and left clean when we finish.

Yes. We use pH-balanced, professional-grade chemistry suited to each material and rinse residues thoroughly. The space is ready for normal use once dry, with no lingering chemical film.

Pricing depends on the tile material, the square footage, the level of soiling and whether sealing, honing or polishing is required. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after a brief inspection so you know the exact cost before we start.

In most cases, yes. Our heated extraction lifts embedded soil and discolouration that mopping cannot reach. For permanently stained grout, grout colour sealing recolours and seals the joints in one durable application.

Not usually. Our equipment is self-contained and low-odour, so you can remain in other areas of the home. For larger restoration projects we will advise if any rooms need to be kept clear while finishes cure.

Penetrating sealers protect without changing the appearance. Topical sealers can add a subtle sheen if you want it. We help you choose the right product for your material and the finish you prefer.

Most cleaned floors can be walked on in socks within a few hours. Sealed or restored surfaces may need 24 hours to fully cure. We give you clear care instructions before we leave.

Yes. We clean and seal patios, pool decks, entries and pavers across the Bay Area using techniques calibrated for sun and marine-air exposure, with an outdoor-rated sealer to protect the surface.
