For most Portland homes we recommend professional cleaning every 12–18 months. If you have pets, kids, or high-traffic areas, every 6–12 months is ideal. Portland's wet climate accelerates mold and mildew growth in grout — making regular cleaning especially important here.

Yes — we clean the walls, the floor, and the edges. Showers accumulate soap scum, mineral deposits, mold, and mildew faster than anywhere else in your home. We remove all of it using professional high-pressure equipment and can re-seal grout after cleaning to protect against future buildup.

Yes — regular mopping pushes dirty water into porous grout lines rather than removing dirt. Over time this causes grout to darken and permanently stain. Many floor cleaners also leave a sticky residue that attracts more soil. Professional cleaning removes this accumulated buildup, and sealing afterward makes routine mopping far more effective.

Absolutely — and it's something most homeowners skip. Grout is extremely porous and without sealing it absorbs spills and staining agents almost instantly. After a professional deep clean, sealing locks out future contamination and makes your grout dramatically easier to maintain. It's one of the best investments you can make for your floors at just $0.35–$0.50 per square foot.

In most cases yes. Our high-pressure extraction process removes surface mold and mildew from grout effectively. For deeply penetrated mold in heavily compromised grout, we'll give you an honest assessment — sometimes re-grouting is the better solution. We'll always tell you what's realistic before we start.

Tile cleaned without sealing can typically be walked on within 30–60 minutes. If grout sealing is applied, we recommend light foot traffic after 2–3 hours and heavy traffic after 6 hours. We'll give you specific drying guidance based on your tile type and ventilation on the day of service.

Portland's damp months mean bathrooms rarely dry out completely, especially in older homes with weak exhaust fans. Grout is porous, so it holds that moisture and feeds mildew from the inside. A deep clean removes what's in the grout now, and sealing afterward slows it from coming back. Running the fan for 20 to 30 minutes after every shower helps more than any cleaner.

Yes. Small hex, penny and subway tile from the 1920s through the 1950s is common in Northeast and Southeast Portland bathrooms, and it has far more grout per square foot than modern tile. We adjust pressure and chemistry for older, softer grout and tell you up front if any of it is too far gone and should be regrouted instead.

Yes. We clean tile in condos and apartments all over the city, from the Pearl and South Waterfront to Southeast fourplexes. Let us know about parking, elevator or loading dock rules when you book so we can plan the hose run for your building.

Yes. We use eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are safe for children and pets once dry. We recommend keeping pets and children off cleaned areas during service and while drying. We'll tell you exactly when it's safe to resume normal use.
