How to clean tile and grout.

Below is a brief summary of what is involved in cleaning tile and grout.  This will give you a basic idea of the process.  Obviously every floor is different and procedures will change, so only use this as a guideline.

Pre-Test:
Always test all cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area.  Different solutions may act differently on different types of floors.  To break down grease, oil and soil build-up, an alkaline based cleaning solution is best to start with. Read more
