Are You Frustrated With Your Tile and Grout?

Professional "Deep Cleaning" Is A Vital Part Of Maintaining Tile And Grout.

While sealing helps to slow penetration of spills, it does not completely prevent it. Over time, spills can absorb deeply into grout and become extremely difficult to remove. Do it yourself methods using household cleaners and mops can only do so much.

Many people end up resorting to scrubbing by hand on their hands and knees to get it really clean. This is a long and frustrating process that usually strips off any sealer you might have, leaving the surface vulnerable to rapid resoiling and permanent stains. A thorough professional "Deep Cleaning" is a far more intense cleaning than can be achieved with common methods used by home owners and janitorial personal.

There are several key components of a "Deep Cleaning"

Chemical Action- While many household or all purpose cleaners can remove soil and some surface stains, many can cause permanent damage to grout. If your grout has been sealed, these cleaners may even break the bond between the sealer and the surface causing faster absorption of spills and increasing the need for sealing more often. We use very specific "Professional Grade" cleaning agents engineered for "Deep Cleaning" of your specific surface.

Dwell Time-.Allowing the cleaning agents time to penetrate the surface and dissolve sub surface soil, proteins, food grease and stains is a very important piece of this puzzle. We always allow the proper dwell time to ensure maximum removal of these contaminants.

Agitation/Mechanical Scrubbing- After the proper dwell time, we can start with some form of mechanical scrubbing using hand held brushes or large rotary floor scrubbing equipment. We match the type of surface and level of soiling with a specific type of scrubbing brush to achieve maximum results while minimizing any risk of damage.

Rinsing- A thorough "Deep Cleaning" can not be achieved with a mop or house hold cleaning machine. We use very specialized equipment which offers a range of heat and pressurized water to extract far more deeply embedded soils than any other rinsing method. Heat and water pressure is adjusted based on surface type and level of soiling. Every area we clean is rinsed in a specific overlapping pattern once on the way into the area and then again on the way out. This means that every square inch of your surface has been rinsed a minimum of four times.

Spot Stain Removal- After the completetion of the rinsing; some spot treatments may be needed. While most things will be removed during our cleaning process, deeper set stains may need special treatments to be removed. Some stains may be permanent

Sealing Is A Subject Of Much Confusion

Many Consumers Hear the Word Sealing and Think, They don't work. Well they do, if the surface is prepped right and the sealers are applied the proper way.

I'd like you to take a moment to read the following information so that we're on the same page when it comes to sealers. This will help you get the results you want whether you choose GREAT WHITE or another service company.

TYPES OF PROTECTIVE SEALERS / COATINGS

SEALER (penetrating/impregnating)
The application of a clear liquid penetrating sealer designed to fill in the microscopic pores in the grout

It doesn't change the appearance but gives great protection from water and oil based stains which would otherwise, quickly penetrate the surface and potentially create a permanent stain. We use only "Professional Grade" sealers specific to the porosity of your surface in order to maximize repellency and longevity. These sealers typically take 72 hours to fully dry and cure and come with a 1 year no stain GUARANTEE.

COLOR SEALING
After a complete 7-STEP restorative cleaning and preparation process, we apply a permanent protective treatment for grout available in any color. This process completely seals the pores of the grout permanently and hides stains, discolorations and mismatched grout. Creates a completely uniform color that will not absorb stains. Because the surface is now non porous, it is far more sanitary and much easier to keep clean. And comes with a 3 year NO STAIN GUARANTEE.

Cleaning:
Complex and difficult areas are agitated manually with a brush and for really challenging heavy use areas; a mechanical rotating brush is employed. The entire floor is then cleaned using a state of the art self-contained pressure cleaning system known as the turbo floor cleaning tool.

Rinsing:
A rinse solution is used to balance the pH of your floor.

Sealing/Finishing:
The type of sealer and application varies on what surface it is being applied to.
