Expert Tile & Grout Cleaning for Bay Area Properties
Tile floors and showers look beautiful when they're clean — but grout is porous and traps dirt, grease, mold, and mildew that mopping can't remove. Over time, light grout turns dark and dingy, making the whole surface look dirty no matter how much you scrub. Nice & Clean Carpet Cleaning provides professional tile and grout cleaning across the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley. We use high-pressure extraction and specialized brushes to blast soil out of grout lines, then seal the grout to keep it cleaner for longer.

- High-pressure extraction cleaning of tile and grout
- Agitation with specialized grout brushes
- Mold and mildew removal in showers and wet areas

When to Schedule Tile & Grout Cleaning
Regular cleaning maintains your property's value and hygiene. These signs tell you it's time to call Nice & Clean Carpet Cleaning.
Grout Looks Dark or Dingy
Porous grout absorbs dirt and spills, turning from light to dark over time. If your grout lines look gray or black even after mopping, professional extraction is the only way to restore the original color.
Mold or Mildew in Showers
Bathrooms and showers are prime environments for mold and mildew growth in grout. If you see black or pink discoloration that won't scrub away, professional treatment removes it and inhibits regrowth.
Kitchen Grease Buildup
Kitchen tile floors absorb cooking grease that makes them slippery and dull. Professional cleaning cuts through the grease layer that mopping leaves behind, restoring traction and shine.
Grout Has Never Been Sealed
Unsealed grout stains easily and absorbs moisture that feeds mold. If your grout has never been sealed — or the sealer has worn off after a year or two — it's time to clean and reseal for lasting protection.
Our Tile & Grout Cleaning Process
Nice & Clean follows a systematic approach that protects your home and delivers long-lasting freshness on every project.
Inspection & Pre-Treatment
We inspect the tile type and grout condition, then apply a specialized alkaline or acidic pre-treatment to break down soil, grease, and stains.
Agitation
We scrub grout lines with specialized brushes to loosen embedded dirt that mopping and pressure alone can't reach.
Pressure Extraction
Our high-pressure tool blasts hot water into grout lines and immediately extracts the dislodged soil, leaving surfaces deeply clean.
Sealing & Final Review
We apply a penetrating grout sealer to protect against future stains and review the results with you before we finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does tile and grout cleaning cost?
Tile and grout cleaning starts at $99. Pricing is based on square footage, tile type, grout condition, and whether sealing is included. We provide free upfront quotes — call (415) 650-1111 for an exact estimate.
Will cleaning restore my grout to its original color?
In most cases, yes. Our high-pressure extraction removes the embedded soil that darkens grout, often restoring it close to its original shade. Severely stained or permanently discolored grout may not fully restore, but we'll set honest expectations before starting.
How often should grout be sealed?
Grout sealer typically lasts 1–2 years depending on foot traffic and cleaning frequency. High-traffic floors and wet areas like showers may need resealing annually. We recommend sealing after every professional cleaning.
Can you remove mold from shower grout?
Yes. We treat mold and mildew with specialized solutions and high-pressure extraction that removes growth from grout lines and tile surfaces. Sealing afterward helps inhibit regrowth.
Is the cleaning safe for natural stone tile?
Yes. We adjust our cleaning solutions and methods for natural stone like marble, travertine, and slate to avoid etching. We'll inspect your stone first and recommend the safest approach.
