Tile & Grout Cleaning
Grout lines cleaned, not just the tile face
Kitchen, entry and traffic-lane grout is pre-tested, agitated and flushed with a heated rinse and extraction, so soil is removed rather than pushed to the edges.
Natural Stone Restoration
Worn marble refinished, not replaced
When marble or travertine looks dull and patchy, the cause is often worn polish rather than damage. Honing and polishing can bring back an even finish without tearing the floor out.
Bath & Shower Tile
Soap film and hard-water scale lifted
Shower walls, pans and corners are cleaned largely by hand with surface-safe products, then the grout can be sealed. If caulk or grout needs replacing instead, we say so.
Travertine
Travertine cleaned, filled, honed and sealed
Entries and hallways in travertine can be deep cleaned, have open holes filled, be honed to an even finish and sealed, with a clear explanation of which marks will and will not come out.
Commercial Tile & Grout
Scheduled around tenants and opening hours
Lobbies, corridors, restrooms and retail floors can be staged section by section and scheduled outside operating hours, so routes stay open while the work is done.
Sealing & Maintenance
Sealing only where the surface needs it
A simple water test shows whether a surface will benefit from sealing. Pool decks, patios and interior stone are cleaned first, then sealed where it genuinely makes sense.
Professionally trained technicians handle every tile, stone and grout surface.
We identify the tile or stone type before cleaning to choose the least intrusive method.
Non-toxic cleaning agents approved for use in living spaces.
Residential and commercial work from the coast to the inland communities.
Why Professional Cleaning
Tile and stone are porous. Grime, dirt and microbial growth settle into those open surfaces, and sweeping or mopping only reaches so far: a brush can't get deep enough, and a mop tends to redistribute what it lifts.
Professional cleaning works differently. The surface is identified and pre-tested, a matched cleaning solution is given time to break the bond, the tile and grout are agitated, and the residue is flushed out and extracted rather than pushed to the edges. Sealing afterwards keeps the next round of soil sitting on top where it can be wiped away.
Real Project Results
Drag the handle to compare the same surface before and after treatment. Results vary with the material, how long the buildup has been there, and the condition of the grout underneath.

Our Services
Every stone has its own characteristics, and the cleaning requirements differ from one to the next. We match the method to the material rather than running one process over everything.

Surface-Specific Cleaning
Careful, Thorough & Surface-Specific
We identify the material first, then clean it with the right process, with adjoining surfaces taped and protected before anything goes down.
Restoration & Refinishing
Cleaning Is Only the Starting Point
When a surface needs more than cleaning, honing, polishing and sealing are quoted as the next step, not an upsell at the door.
Why San Diego Chooses Us
Stone is not a single material, and treating it as one is how surfaces get damaged. Our work starts with identifying what you actually have.
01
We pre-test before cleaning begins to identify the stone or tile, so acid-sensitive surfaces such as marble, terrazzo, terracotta and clay are never treated with the wrong chemistry.
02
If cleaning won't get you there, honing, polishing and repair are options we can quote, and sealing afterwards is part of the same conversation.
03
We inspect as we work. If an area comes up uneven or short of expectations, it gets re-cleaned and checked again before we move on.
04
Non-toxic cleaning agents approved for domestic use, which matters in the kitchens and bathrooms where families and pets spend the most time.
05
A family bathroom and a hotel lobby need different equipment, scheduling and planning. We're set up for both across San Diego County.
Our Process
Professional tile and grout cleaning identifies the surface first, then uses matched chemistry, dwell time, mechanical agitation and extraction to remove soil that mopping leaves behind, finishing with a sealer that keeps it from settling straight back in.
01
Before any cleaning starts we pre-test to identify the type of stone or tile, so we can choose the least intrusive method. This is critical on acid-sensitive surfaces.
02
We inspect further, tape off and secure adjoining surfaces, then carry out dry soil removal to clear loose dust and grit for better access to the buildup underneath.
03
A matched solution is given dwell time, the surface is agitated, and soil is flushed and extracted with professional equipment rather than pushed toward the edges.
04
We run standard inspections along the way. Any area that comes up irregular is cleaned again and re-checked, repeating until the result is consistent.
05
Sealers are applied promptly after cleaning to guard the surface and simplify maintenance. Floors are typically ready for use again within a few hours.
The Detail Work
Professional tile and stone cleaning goes beyond what is visible on the surface. The right process starts by identifying the material, loosening embedded buildup, and using the appropriate cleaning and protection method.
01
Tile and stone require different chemistry and cleaning methods.
02
Professional agitation and extraction target soil trapped in grout and textured surfaces.
03
When appropriate, sealing helps make ongoing maintenance easier.

Common Questions
Most homes do well with professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months. Kitchens, entryways, bathrooms and homes with pets or young children usually benefit from a yearly visit, while low-traffic rooms can go longer. Commercial floors normally need a set schedule based on foot traffic. Regular sweeping and mopping between visits still matters; professional cleaning resets the surface rather than replacing routine care.
Yes. Natural stone is a core part of what we do, including marble, travertine, limestone, slate, sandstone and flagstone. Each stone has its own characteristics and its own cleaning requirements, so we pre-test to identify the material before starting. This matters most on acid-sensitive surfaces such as marble, terrazzo and terracotta, where the wrong product can etch the stone permanently.
Yes. Bath and shower cleaning is one of our regular services. Wet areas collect soap film and mineral scale that build up on walls, pans, corners and grout lines. Because of the vertical surfaces and tight corners, shower work is largely done by hand and takes longer per square foot than floor cleaning. We assess the grout and caulk condition at the same time, and will tell you if regrouting is the better answer.
Sealing is available and is applied promptly after cleaning, once the surface is dry. A sealer creates a guard that keeps soil and germs sitting on top of the surface instead of soaking into the pores, which makes future spills much easier to wipe up before they stain. It's quoted separately, and it isn't the right answer for every surface. We'll tell you which category yours falls into.
Because the surface is extracted rather than left saturated, floors are usually clean, protected and ready for use again within a few hours of the visit. Exact timing depends on ventilation, humidity and whether a sealer has been applied. If we seal the surface, we'll give you specific guidance on foot traffic and on when the area can safely get wet again.
We use non-toxic cleaning agents that are approved for use in domestic living areas. That's a deliberate choice, because the rooms that need deep cleaning most, kitchens and bathrooms, are also where families and pets spend the most time. If anyone in the household has specific sensitivities or allergies, tell us when you request your estimate and we'll take it into account.
Yes. We clean and restore tile, grout and stone in lobbies, restrooms, break rooms, retail floors and hospitality spaces across San Diego County. Neglected commercial stone reflects on the business and can become a slip risk, so recurring maintenance schedules are available for high-traffic floors. Work is normally scheduled outside operating hours. Contact us with your square footage and hours for a quote.
Call (858) 952-0777 or fill in the free estimate form on this page. Tell us the surface, roughly how much of it there is, and what's bothering you about it. We'll come back to confirm the scope and the approach. For stone, a qualified assessment is the only way to tell whether a surface is a candidate for restoration or cleaning alone.
