Tile floors can beautify any home in Utah. That is until they get dirty and tile floors get grimy. Why is that? Stains build up in the grout making the whole floor look dull. No matter the variety of tile floors you have in your home and no matter how frequently you clean it, the tile grout will get dirty and stained.
There are a few reasons this occurs. If your tile floors have grout that is lighter in color, they will get or seem dirtier than floors with darker grouts. Yet no matter what variety of grout your tile floor has, it’s going to get dirty. That’s because dirt and grime sink into the grout, which is lower than the tile, as you scrub.
It doesn’t help that grout is made from materials that absorb dirt and grime. If it seems like your grout is impossible to clean, that’s because it is. What to do? We explain how to clean tile and grout and why a professional cleaning service is necessary.
The cleaning products you are using are not made to be used on your tile floors. You might not have considered that. Why would you when the product you’ve been using is recommended for tile floors?
Yet there are so many tile floor materials, and many of them require specific cleansers to be cleaned. These cleaners are hard to find. If you don’t use these cleansers, your floors will get stained instead of cleaned while scrubbing them.
That means that no matter how hard you’re working to do tile and grout cleaning, it’s not working, and your tile and grout aren’t getting clean. What can you do about this?
The only thing to do is hire a 5 star professional tile and grout cleaning in Utah.
Our floor cleaning experts will determine what kind of tile you have and then decide what cleaning products and procedures should be used. That will clean your floor and keep it clean. Then when we get to work, use those products to scrub away grime and dirt. You won’t have to worry about that hard-to-clean tile and grout or hard water stains on tiles after we’re done.
Besides cleansers, we have professional machine like pressure washers to clean your floors. If your grout is only slightly stained, we can cleanse it with a tile and grout cleaning product, then use low-pressure steam to lift away any surface dirt and grime. That should have your floors looking great.
If you’ve been cleaning your floors for a while with products that don’t work for your tile, then it is likely that your tile floors and grout have stains that require much more work to get clean. The low-pressure steam cleaning just won’t work. Don’t worry, though; we can still clean your tile floors.
A deep clean is required for very stained and dirty floors. To do this, we deep scrub and scour the floor as per the types of tile ceramics with a tile and grout cleaner, then we use heated, high-pressurized water to cleanse away dirt and stains. Whether you have sanded or unsanded grout on your tile floors, this will have them looking fresh and clean.Â
When this deep cleaning process is finished, you might think we’re done with your floors. We’re not. That’s because you must reseal your tile floor to protect it after tile and grout cleaning. There are a variety of tile floor seals that we can use in your home. Some color seals can change the color of your grout and freshen up any room.
Another reason that it is a must to use a seal after we clean your tile floor is that it helps to prevent stains from building up again. Yet it is essential to know that some seals can only be used on certain types of grout. That’s why it is necessary to have a professional determine which cleaning process and which seal works for your floors. When homeowners try to clean and seal their floors, they often stain the tiles and grout more. You don’t want to do that. Deep cleaning tile floors is hard work, and you’re busy enough. Instead, you should have the professionals do the job
properly. When we deep clean your tile floors, we can remove rust from tiles, scour away hard water stains on tile and grout, and reseal the tiles so they are fresh, bright, and clean.
A professional tile and grout cleaning will brighten up bathroom tile and any room. Deep cleansing for your tile floor will remove rust from tiles and scour away hard water stains on tiles. That is a professional deep cleaning that you just can’t do yourself. Why would you want to do that when it’s such hard work? Instead, what you should do is hire professionals to do the job. How often you need to hire a professional to do the job it depends on several factors.
When your tile floor is cleaned and resealed by professionals, your floors will be much brighter and easier for you to maintain and you can also avoid slips, trips and falls on tile floors. What busy homeowner doesn’t want that? Whether you need tile and grout cleaning in your residence or your commercial business, we can help with your floor cleaning.

Here are a few tips to maintain the cleanliness and longevity of your carpet after professional cleaning:
Regular vacuuming helps to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can accumulate on the carpet surface. Aim to vacuum at least once a week, or more frequently in high-traffic areas.
If any spills or stains occur, it’s important to clean them up as soon as possible. Blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towel and avoid rubbing, as it can spread the stain. If needed, use a mild carpet cleaner or a mixture of water and vinegar to treat the stain.
Placing doormats at entryways can reduce the amount of dirt and debris tracked onto the carpet. Encourage family members and guests to remove their shoes upon entering to minimize dirt and stains.
Limit the amount of moisture that comes into contact with your carpet. Wipe up any spills promptly and avoid over-wetting the carpet during cleaning.
Periodic professional cleanings are essential to maintain the freshness and appearance of your carpet. We recommend scheduling a professional cleaning at least once every 12-18 months, or more frequently for high-traffic areas.
Following these maintenance practices will help extend the life of your carpet and keep it looking its best.

Cleaning frequency for tile, stone, and grout depends on the location, usage, and type of tile or stone. Here’s a general guideline:
Deep Cleaning: Depending on the traffic and usage, you might want to do a deeper cleaning of your tiles and grout monthly. This involves using a grout cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water to scrub the grout lines.
Remember, the key to maintaining the beauty and integrity of your tile, stone, and grout is regular cleaning and proper care.
Professionally cleaning your upholstered furniture offers several benefits:
Professional cleaners use specialized equipment and techniques to deeply clean upholstery, removing dirt, allergens, and contaminants that regular home cleaning methods might miss.
Dirt and grime can wear down and degrade upholstery fibers over time. Regular professional cleaning can help extend the life of your furniture by removing these abrasive substances.
Professionals have the tools and expertise to remove tough stains without damaging the fabric. They can identify the type of stain and the type of fabric to determine the best cleaning method.
Upholstered furniture can harbor allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and pollen. A professional cleaning can help reduce these allergens, improving indoor air quality and potentially benefiting those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Over time, upholstered furniture can absorb odors from pets, spills, smoke, and other sources. Professional cleaning can help neutralize and remove these odors, leaving your furniture smelling fresh.
Professionals train to recognize different types of upholstery materials and know which cleaning methods and products are safe and effective for each. This reduces the risk of damage or discoloration.
Regular professional cleaning can help maintain the vibrant color, texture, and overall appearance of your furniture, making it look newer for longer.
Many professional cleaners offer protective treatments that can be applied after cleaning. These treatments can help repel stains and spills, making future cleanings easier and extending the time between cleanings.
Cleaning upholstery can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. Hiring a professional can save you the effort and ensure a thorough job.
While professional cleaning incurs a cost, it can be more economical in the long run. Maintaining your furniture in good condition might mean you don’t need to replace it as often.
Professionals train to handle a variety of situations, from mold and mildew issues to water damage. They can provide guidance and services tailored to specific problems.
Removing dog urine from carpet can be a challenge, especially if it has set for a while. However, with the right approach, you can effectively remove the stain and odor. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
If the urine is still wet, blot up as much of the urine as possible using paper towels or a clean cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the urine and push it deeper into the carpet fibers.
Place a thick layer of paper towels on the wet spot and press down with your feet or place a heavy object on top to help absorb the moisture.
Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the affected area generously. Let it sit for a few minutes, then sprinkle baking soda over the area.
Commercial Enzymatic Cleaners specifically design to break down the proteins in urine, eliminating both the stain and odor. Brands like Nature’s Miracle or Simple Solution are popular choices. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
If using the vinegar solution, after sprinkling baking soda, let it fizz and sit for a few hours or overnight if possible.
If using an enzymatic cleaner, apply as directed on the product label.
After the solution has had time to work, blot the area with a clean cloth to remove any excess moisture.
Rinse the area with cool water and blot again to remove the cleaning solution. This step is crucial to prevent any residue from attracting dirt in the future.
Once the area is completely dry, vacuum to restore the carpet’s texture and remove any leftover baking soda or residue.
If you can still smell urine, it may have soaked into the carpet padding or even the subfloor. In such cases, you might need to treat the area multiple times or consider hiring a professional carpet cleaner.
If your dog has an accident once, they might incline to return to the same spot. Clean the area thoroughly to remove any lingering scents that might attract your dog back to the spot.
Remember, always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of your carpet first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage.
If you’ve managed to remove the visible stain from dog urine but are still battling the lingering odor, here are some steps and methods to help you eliminate the smell:
These cleaners contain enzymes that break down the proteins in urine, which are the primary cause of the odor. Brands like Nature’s Miracle, Simple Solution, or Rocco & Roxie are popular choices.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically, you’ll want to saturate the area to ensure the cleaner reaches the carpet padding where urine might have soaked.
If home remedies aren’t effective, consider hiring a professional carpet cleaning service. They have specialized equipment and solutions that can deeply clean and deodorize carpets.
There are commercial odor neutralizers available that can help mask and eliminate pet odors. You can spray or sprinkle these on the affected area.
In extreme cases where the urine has deeply soaked into the carpet padding or subfloor, you might need to replace the padding in that particular area. This is a more drastic measure but can be effective in completely eliminating deep-set odors.
Remember, always test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area of your carpet first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage.
You can neutralize dog urine using a combination of methods that address both the stain and the odor. Here are some substances and methods that can neutralize dog urine:
White vinegar is a natural acid that can neutralize the alkaline salts present in dried dog urine stains. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and water and apply it to the urine stain. Allow it to sit for a few minutes, then blot up the moisture.
Baking soda is an alkaline substance that can neutralize acidic components in urine. It also acts as a natural deodorizer, absorbing odors. After treating a urine spot with vinegar, sprinkle baking soda over the area, let it sit for a few hours or overnight, and then vacuum.
You often mix it with other solutions, like hydrogen peroxide, for a more effective treatment.
Cornstarch helps absorb fresh urine, thus reducing the amount of urine that requires neutralization.Â
Rinsing the affected area with water after treating it with any of the above solutions can help wash away the urine components and any cleaning residues.
Â
When dealing with dog urine, it’s essential to act quickly. The longer the urine sits, the harder it will be to neutralize and remove the stain and odor. Always test any solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage.
