Tile & Grout Cleaning

Because so many customers want their homes completely cleaned during the same service call, K&M has invested in the right equipment for cleaning your tile and stone floors. So, in addition to having the best equipment for steam cleaning your carpets and upholstery, K&M has separate machines to professionally clean your tile and stone floors as well. (Keep in mind, all cleaning results are determined by how well your floors have been maintained)

Why bring new life to your carpets and not do the same for the floors in your kitchen, bath or hallways? And why use household mops or - worse yet - get on your hands and knees to clean those tough-to-get-out stains? Ken's always saying, "It's totally worth the price to watch two men hand scrubbing the grout lines!"

Many homeowners apply excessively strong cleaners to their tile floors. Often times, these cleaning products have a high PH content, which can strip the sealant off your floor, making it look dull and even more worn that it really is.

K&M's experienced technicians have the equipment and cleaning solutions necessary to restore your tile floors and make them look better than ever!

Here are some pictures of a Terrazo floor. This house was built in 1964 with this flooring in the entire home. Our customer had been putting a wax on the floor to get a shine to it. We were able to remove this wax and polish the floor to give it a more natural look.

 

This is a very unique hand-chiseled, honed Travertine floor. For this customer we cleaned and stripped the entire floor, added a rich color enhancer, and hand-buffed and sealed it for a magnificent finish.

 

This Travertine floor was stripped, sealed and polished to such a shine that you can see the reflection of the outside door on the floor.

 

This Saltillo floor was stripped down bare. Once we stripped the old sealant off, we color stained the grout lines and applied a color enhancer to really bring out the color of the stone. This 15 year seal will be virtually indestructible and shines brilliantly.

 

This is a Travertine floor that had been neglected. We were able to do a basic cleaning and a polish. Now this floor looks like it was meant to. Our client had no idea what they had until we showed them. She cannot wait for her next dinner party.

 

Stone Floor Sealants
To keep your tile looking its best, K&M has a full selection of sealants to protect the finish and appearance of your floor. Ask Ken, or the service technician who comes to your home, about sealing your tile floor to keep it looking clean for the future. By having K&M seal your tile flooring, you will prevent spills in the future from getting absorbed into the tile and discoloring your floor.

People often assume that natural stone is "stain-proof," however all stone is porous to some degree. If not properly treated with a protective sealer, water, oils or other liquids can easily penetrate the stone, leaving behind unwanted stains. The good news is that once treated with a protective sealer, natural stone is ready for carefree, everyday use.

Ceramic and porcelain tile does not need a buffing or sealant. Instead, we concentrate on sealing and cleaning the grout lines to make them stand out and look like new.
