Tile and grout cleaning for Sterling kitchens, baths and entries
Grout is porous, and it sits lower than the tile. Every mopping pushes dirty water into those lines, so they darken a little at a time until the floor looks dirty even when it is clean.
We clean the tile and dig the soil out of the grout lines, then dry the floor with air movers. Kitchens around the island, bathroom floors, entryways and mudrooms see the biggest change.
We will tell you honestly what cleaning can do for your floor. Old, stained or cracked grout may not come back to new, and we say so before we start. If your grout would hold up better sealed, we will talk it through with you.

Sterling, KS
Why tile and grout cleaning matters in Sterling
Tile in older Sterling kitchens and bathrooms often has grout that went dark years ago. We scrub and extract the grout lines to pull out the grime that mopping leaves behind, then rinse so the tile is truly clean.
Sterling's 1929 flood came from a six-inch rain on Cow Creek that sent water into town from the northwest, and the Arkansas River flooded again in 1973. The ground here is sandy enough that Sterling Lake itself began as a sandpit, and that fine sand tracks in easily. College move-in and move-out each fall and spring add heavy traffic in rentals and dorms.
Sterling is an older town, and Census estimates put the typical home's build year in the mid-1950s, with many built before 1940. Student rentals near the college sit alongside older family homes and landmarks like Cooper Hall and the Sterling Carnegie Library. We clean homes, rentals and businesses across Sterling. Sterling is about 25 miles northwest of Hutchinson by road.
