Tile and Grout Cleaning plus Sealing - This weeks work!

Tile and grout cleaning plus sealing this week went real well! Cleaned & restored a real nasty porcelain tile sealer job that didn't adhere and was uplifting terribly ...Five hours later the floor came out "like new again" and a very happy "expecting" mom! This family bought this 4000 square foot bank owned problem home which was rehabbed completely!

Quite often I see floors with sealers applied that don't belong on there floors! It's hard to understand why sometimes we all do what our heart desires at times, but sometimes we just do it anyway! Stay away from any topical coatings unless professionally applied! High gloss, acrylic, solvent, etc., etc. just stay away from problems. Try not to listen to people whom talk (especially the ones in well known retail stores) they don't clean tile or seal floors everyday. Most people do things abruptly because they heard of a friend whom did it, or walked out of a fancy shmancy hotel with big hopes!

Tile and Grout Cleaning - Travertine Tile -


Tile and Grout Cleaning of travertine tile should be cleaned with neutral cleaning products (homeowner) and a Professional cleaning service like Las Vegas Tile and Grout Cleaning annually! Travertine tiles are sometimes harder to keep clean due to the finish of the stone as well as deep natural pitting. I get a lot of calls regarding pitting, and most of the time it is minor, and advise homeowner's to leave it alone as sometimes when these holes/pits are filled they leave an eye sore effect that looks worse than the pitting...If you bought the floor, then you bought the natural look it displays...Don't try to change the appearance!

Las Vegas Tile and Grout Cleaning Helpful Tips

Las Vegas Tile and Grout Cleaning Helpful Tips actually help after floor is cleaned and then sealed. The tile sealer will need to "cure" within a 24 hour period. Air, heat, and other methods for drying will not speed up the "curing" process.

Try to wear socks at all times especially through the "curing" process. Do not replace furniture on newly cleaned tile surfaces for at least 6 hours. Keep pets, kids, and others off floors as much as possible. When maintaining your floors, weekly maintenance is recommended, and with household mixtures only. Soap (few drips of blue DAWN) mixed with water (18 oz.).Please refrain from using existing chemicals found in your home, or aisles of cleaning chemicals found at your local stores. Also avoid recommendations made by friends or family. These "foreign" chemicals or "methods" can actually embed dirt or grime permanently in to your floors, sometimes making it impossible to remove.Make sure you purchase a flat mop with removable pad so it can be rinsed frequently and kept nearby. Purchase an empty trigger bottle (18 oz) and use supplies as mentioned above for your mixtures. Hazing and Smearing could be possible after sealing sets up, let sealer sit for a week before any cleaning or removal so the curing is set.

lvtandg@gmail.com Annual Service from Las Vegas Tile and Grout Cleaning is highly recommended, and furthermore will help you keep like new floors year around!
