High-pressure extraction and color-safe chemistry for tile and grout in Columbia and Howard County.
We identify the tile type — porcelain, ceramic, travertine, slate, marble — and check the grout for cracks, missing pieces, and existing sealer before any chemistry touches the floor.
Detailed dry vacuuming and sweeping to remove loose grit. Skipping this step turns dirt into mud during extraction — we always start with a dry, debris-free surface.
An alkaline grout cleaner dwells across the floor, breaking down years of body oils, grease, and trapped soil so high-pressure extraction can actually lift it.
Truck-mounted hot-water extraction flushes the grout lines deep while controlled vacuum recovery keeps the floor dry. Soil out, brightness back, no splash mess on baseboards or cabinets.
A clear rinse balances the surface pH so no residue is left behind. Floors feel clean to the touch — not slippery, not tacky — and ready to walk on the same day.
Recommended for high-use floors. An invisible penetrating sealer locks the grout against future stains, spills, and mildew — keeping the freshly cleaned look longer.
