For a 300 square-foot area, cleaning generally takes 60 to 90 minutes. If you choose to have the grout sealed, we recommend waiting 24 hours after rinsing to apply sealer so the sealer will adhere properly. Grout sealing itself takes two to three hours. Time varies based on tile size, the amount of soil in the grout and room configuration.
Tile floors are easy to clean, and we recommend using a neutral cleaning agent.
To properly maintain your tile floors, vacuum or sweep and mop them weekly, as well as spot clean when needed. To keep your floors looking their best, we recommend a professional cleaning every year, depending on traffic, pets, children and regular floor maintenance. An easy way to remember when it’s time for your professional cleaning is to plan around your spring cleaning schedule or when preparing for holiday get-togethers at your home.
Stay off of freshly cleaned tile floors for at least 30 minutes. Avoid getting any liquid on the floor for 24 hours until the sealant cures completely if grout cleaning is included as part of the service.
After tile and grout is cleaned, you may notice a faint scent. The amount of time it takes for the odor to dissipate is usually within an hour but varies based on air circulation, heat and humidity.
Simply pick up items on the floor, such as rugs, plants and trash cans, as well as sweep or vacuum the area to be cleaned.
Stay off freshly cleaned tile for at least 30 minutes, and avoid getting any liquid on the floor for 24 hours if sealant has been applied. Return furniture (with suggested use of felt pads) and rugs to floors after 24 hours.
