We have been cleaning tile floors in San Jose since 2007, and is just one of the services Integrity Stone and Tile Cleaning performs.
If you're in need of natural stone services in the San Jose, California area, we can help you clean, polish, restore, and seal
a variety of natural stone surfaces.
Not only is cleaning tile floors important, but the sealing of the grout is just as important. We offer two types of sealer for grout
on ceramic tile floors.
If your ceramic tile floor has sanded grout, we can offer a permanent sealer called
colorseal.
The other type of sealer is a penetrating sealer we use on all natural stone and grout.
We also offer marble restoration service. Marble restoration is the refinishing process of marble, travertine and limestone surfaces.
If you have marble, travertine or limestone floors, you know that they are sensitive to any acidic liquid and are easily scratched.
Normal wear and tear will dull your polished finish and if this is the case, then it may be time to have them
restored.

These are directions for cleaning tile floors that are heavily soiled and that have been neglected.
After you've diluted the
grout cleaner
to the strength needed, apply to the tile floor.
This has always been the hardest part for me, letting the solution dwell for 20-30 minutes.
I always want to start scrubbing the grout right away. Allowing for dwell time makes the scrubbing a little bit easier.
Ready?
Now for the scrubbing. Using your grout brush, scrub all the grout lines, the best you can being careful not
to damage the baseboards with too much water or banging them with the brush.
You can also scrub the tiles with a deck or grout brush making sure to clean any low areas where dirt can be trapped.
Now you can do either of two things; you can use a wet/dry vacumm to suck up the dirty solution, or use a mop
to mop it up.
After the dirty solution has been either mopped or sucked up, it's now time to rinse the floor with warm water.
After the floor has been thoroughly rinsed, dry the tile and grout with cotton cloths, until they are completely dry.
You should now have a pretty clean floor, with the exception of any stubborn grout stains, that sometimes can't be removed.
You are now ready to seal the grout lines which we recommend to be done once the floor is completely dry.
