Grout Doesn't Have to Stay Gray
Grout is porous, so it soaks up mopping water, spills, and the mineral-heavy hard water we have along the Wasatch Front. Over a few years, grout that started out light tan turns a dingy gray — and no amount of hand scrubbing brings it back evenly.
Professional tile cleaning uses an alkaline pre-treatment to loosen the buildup, followed by a high-pressure hot water rinse inside an enclosed tool that captures the dirty water instantly. The difference on kitchen and bathroom floors is usually dramatic — most homeowners are surprised what color their grout actually is.
Where It Helps Most
- Kitchens and dining areas
- Bathrooms and laundry rooms
- Entryways and mudrooms
- Showers (cleaning and resealing)
Sealing and Cost
After cleaning, a penetrating grout sealer is recommended — it keeps the next few years of spills sitting on top of the grout instead of soaking in. Tile cleaning typically runs $0.75–$1.50 per square foot, with sealing quoted separately. Exact pricing over the phone: (801) 340-5954.
