What You Are Actually Paying For

A number before anyone is standing in your kitchen. Most companies in this trade will not quote tile until a technician has seen it, because the number is easier to move in person. Ours is on this page by the square foot and it holds.

The grout line, not the tile face. Anyone can make tile look better. The grout is where the soil actually lives, and it takes solution with real dwell time, agitation worked into the line, and a thorough rinse to get it out. That is the job.

An honest answer on sealing. Sealing is the upsell in this industry, and sometimes it is exactly right. Sometimes your grout does not need it. We will tell you which, and the price for both is already on the screen so it is not a conversation you have while someone is in your house.

Most floors come back further than people expect, and the difference along a clean line is obvious before we are even finished.

Our Tile and Grout Prices

Cleaning and clear seal are 15% off when you book online. Color seal and grout repair are not discounted.

Showers and backsplashes are quoted from a photo. Text a picture with the buildup visible to (480) 389-8415 and we will price it. Price a floor in about a minute in the quote tool.

Why a range: The low end is your price for a normal job. Embedded pet hair, heavy staining, or heavy buildup simply take more time to do right, and we do not do splash-and-dash cleanings, so the top of the range covers that. You never pay more than the top unless the scope changes on site.

When Sealing Is Worth It and When It Is Not

Worth it: light or unsealed grout, kitchens and entries that take spills, a floor you just paid to have cleaned and want to keep that way, and anywhere hard water is hitting grout regularly.

Not worth it: grout that was sealed recently and is still beading, dark grout in a low traffic room, or a floor you are planning to replace inside a couple of years.

Worth color sealing instead: grout that is stained unevenly, has gone patchy, or is a color you never liked. Cleaning will not even that out, because the problem is the color rather than the soil. Color sealing replaces it and carries a one year guarantee on floors.

Measure Before You Judge the Price

Most people tell us they have 3,000 square feet. That is usually the house. The tile we would actually be cleaning, kitchen, entry, hallways, and baths, often comes in closer to 1,000 once it is measured.

That cuts both ways. A rate that sounds steep against your whole house is a different number against your actual tile. Pull a tape across your kitchen and entry, add the hallways and baths, and you will have a real figure before you talk to anybody, us included.

What a Real Floor Adds Up To

Online rates shown for cleaning and clear seal. Color seal is not discounted.

A small bathroom on its own usually lands at the $300 minimum, which is worth knowing before you compare per-square-foot rates between companies.

What the Price Includes

What Legitimately Changes the Price

Square footage. The main variable, and you can measure it yourself.

Which option you pick. Clean, clean and clear seal, or color seal. All three are on this page.

Grout that needs repair first. Cracked or missing grout has to be fixed before sealing makes sense, and that is priced separately from $150 after we see it.

What does not change the price: how dirty the floor looks, what room it is in, or anything decided once a technician is inside.

No Razor Blades, No Harsh Acids

Heavy hard water buildup that has bonded into grout or tile does not always come off, and the fast ways of chasing it cause damage. A razor blade scratches glass and chips glazed tile. An acidic cleaner takes the deposit off and etches travertine, marble, and limestone doing it.

We use neither. We work it with the right product and real dwell time, get what is gettable, and tell you plainly where it lands rather than trading your floor for a faster result.

Saltillo: Strip First, or Just Clean?

Saltillo is unglazed clay and it lives or dies by its sealer. When there is old sealer on the floor, stripping it first is how you get a real reseal, because a new coat over old sealer locks in whatever cloudiness or yellowing is already there.

Stripping takes two days. Strip, neutralize, and rinse on day one, then the floor has to dry completely before sealer goes on, because sealing damp saltillo is what turns it white.

Skipping the strip is a fine choice too. A deep clean on its own, or a clean with a fresh coat on top, both leave the floor looking better. The fresh coat just will not undo sealer that has already gone cloudy. Your call, no pressure either way, and we tell you what we see on the floor before anything starts.

Tile and Grout Cleaning Cost FAQs

Please reach us at (480) 389-8415 if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How much does tile and grout cleaning cost?

From $0.85 a square foot booking online and $1 at the regular rate, with a $300 minimum per visit in our core cities. Adding a clear seal takes it to $1.27 online, and color sealing runs $2.50 to $3.25 and is not discounted.

Do I actually need sealing?

Not always. Sealing is worth it when the grout is porous, light colored, or in a kitchen or entry that takes spills. If your grout is dark, recently sealed, or in a low traffic room, cleaning alone is the honest answer and we will say so.

What is the difference between clear seal and color seal?

Clear seal keeps your existing grout color and blocks liquids from soaking back in. Color seal replaces the color entirely with one uniform shade from 40 plus options, which is what you want when the grout is stained unevenly or has gone patchy. Color seal costs more because it is a different job.

Why is color sealing not discounted?

It is labor and material heavy and the rate is already tight. We would rather leave it undiscounted than raise the base price so a discount can be advertised on top of it.

How do you price a shower?

Showers and backsplashes are quoted from a photo rather than a walkthrough. Text a picture with the buildup visible to (480) 389-8415 and we will price it. It saves you an appointment and it is more accurate than guessing over the phone.

Is there a minimum?

Yes, $150 per visit, the same as our other residential services. Small bathrooms usually land at the minimum, which is worth knowing before you compare per-square-foot rates.

Does the price change once you see the floor?

No. Square footage and the option you picked are the price. If we find something that changes the scope, like grout that needs repair before it can be sealed, we tell you before we start rather than after.
